You'd think Mattel might use some of those Hot Wheels profits to get this thing back to its former glory.

Might be a bit better if they put the motor back in it. That much air over the front tire to the wheel opening is wrong.

The back end? You can always saw it off.

Oh now that is a terrible joke. A camper shell. OMG. And the hitch is priceless. If only I could find something like that in person. I'd be provided with laughs for weeks.

This is a Dodge Deora, customized Dodge A-100 pickup.

The two-piece front 'door' on the front of the truck is actually the tailgate from a Ford station wagon. The only way in...

And the rear suspension ain't up to it without Gabriel air-shocks.

It's possible all that was engineered and addressed, but I suspect it's cosmetic only and couldn't haul more than a couple hundred pounds back there.


On the other hand, this below is what a C4 could be …

How cool is that? Was reading up on it this morning.

This one is a 65. Pretty sweet stand alone.
