1917 Dodge Brothers Roadster

Description

This 1917 Dodge Brothers Roadster is really the fusion of so many classics into one street machine. It's a true rat rod that also has the right thoughtful touches that will make people take notice for more than just its intimidating presence.

This car is pure attitude. After all, the multiple shades of patina instantly make this one feel like it was assembled out of a host of fallen street machines. They gave their parts so that this rat rod could live. You'll love the details, like the two-piece windshield, painted wolf graphics, and how the body is channeled over the frame. And those bright red wire wheels with whitewalls look like a trophy for taking down grandpa's car on the streets.

This is a roadster that's meant to be open to the world, and so the interior is pure rat rod cool. That means old-school plastic seats cut to fit the metal tub, plywood floors, rebar for a shifter, and a steel steering wheel. Either you love this, or you loathe it...and you better believe that's the attitude this one wants to put forward. Even the gauges are a hodgepodge that looks like you robbed everything from a powerplant to an airplane just to get them. But in reality, it makes sure you have a proper understanding of everything happening on the other side of the windshield.

The motor continues the classic rat rod where the pieces were fabricated together to make them work. And for the right person, there's just something very cool about that. After all, just look at the welding in the exhaust manifold. But as you get closer, you also see this has been thoughtfully crafted. For example, the motor is a hardy 2.5-liter GM unit. There are plenty of newer fundamentals, like the alternator, hoses, and wires. There's even an aluminum radiator with an electric fan. So you can really start to see how this rat rod was made to run. You even have a three-speed automatic transmission.

This vehicle has attitude over every inch, and that's exactly why you love it. Call today!!!
