Big Daddy Don Garlits Swamp Rat special edition 1995 Dodge Truck, only 150 made, only 15 on the west coast, here's the best of them, only 36k miles

This is number 128 of 150, they were mostly ordinary trucks that went to Mark 3 that put in upgraded interior, and the decals. All of the Garlits specials got the swamp rat waving the flag on the quarter panel, but few or no others got the flames on the front fenders. They came with the 360 Magnum, and a 4 barrel. 220 Hp, Mike wanted more, and upgraded with headers, and nitrous.

This is number 128 of the 150, and yup, it's for sale, because Mike is getting a Cadillac truck with the Corvette engine.

This is the 3rd I've found in San Diego, the others didn't have the flames of course. http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/07/swamp-rat-edition-of-dodge-ram-well.html

suspension takes a lot of abuse, here to demonstrate, a crash test dummy. Behind him is the demo of how well suspension smooths the ride for passenger

getting my attention with articulation

ordinary Chevy trucks looking great due to a restoration and perfect paint.

Pretty good for plain old Chevy trucks huh?!

Don't know why a pickup needs 2 back axles, or 3 air filters, but they are attention getters

Things that caught my attention at the Primer Nats

BIG signs!

Gauges? We don't need no stinking gauges!

well, it can't be easy to find the right window handles...

excellent set of gauges!

Willys Whippet badge, rare. Finding it on this hot rod, cool.

Love the above gauge pods

Good place for a tach!

Cool trunk!

That all the colored inserts are carved with flames has me thinking that they are all aftermarket

How unsual, Essex headlights on a hot rod!

Some really fundamental early hot rod pieces... basic scallop, wire rims

Pinstriping on this lever panel is sweet!

Lincoln dash is just huge... not a good proportion though

Wow. Never thought that a car like the above would have a blower.. that's a Caddy I believe

Two cool Mercs

I've no idea what Y.M.I. Los Angeles is about... anyone know?
