1975 Dodge Bighorn for sale PROTOTYPE Shortnose Dodge Bighorn. One of 9 produced for testing. Only complete truck known to exist. Bought from Chrysler in 2010, after they decided nit to restore it and put in the museum.
I'm a big follower of Hemmings and I was thinking of posting this here. IDK about the $150g's, I never discuss price on Hemmings, it's a rare piece, for sure. I've seen many longnose Bighorns, but never a short nose. Couldn't compete with the Louisville Ford or the IH S model. Not good by today's standards, 318 Detroit , 13, Reyco suspension, I had my fill of these types of equipped trucks, but as a collector, well, who knows today, people pi$$ away a ton of money on useless stuff. It is a cool truck. Thanks for posting it. For more old truck fun, see the thread " A View of the Past, Vintage photos". Lot's of old iron there.
She is a beaut. Amazing that after all these years it has managed to stay in such great shape and not be tossed aside to rot. Price tag is hefty but it is a one off piece of automotive / trucking history. Cool find!
WOW! What a cool old truck, but at a ridiculous price! Hey "semi", notice the lubrifiner hangin' out there? It's got no fifth wheel though, so you'd have to bobtail around, but everyone knows that you can't beat a Detroit for bobtailin'!!!
I've ridden in that exact truck a few times back in the 70's. Neighbor worked for Chrysler, he was the asset manager for the prototype vehicles including that one. a few times a year he would bring out us kids who were into cars to either Chelsea or other places to see what they were doing. We drove a bunch too. It isn't worth $149k. They did a great job restoring it but still not worth it.
