Louisville, Kentucky, is a big college football\ntown and it was obvious with all the team logo wear we saw at the Mecum Auction\nthis past weekend. Thousands of folks\ncame to be part of the action, buying and selling more than 600 vehicles and\nknocking out thousands of Dodge Thrill Rides!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, we had fun following the Dodge\nvehicles through the process. Here are a\ncouple of our faves that sold\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1983 Dodge Rampage<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"1983<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the Mecum auction, Dodge was also part of RADwood Detroit this past weekend. That\u2019s a show that celebrates the 1980s and 1990s, and this 1983 Dodge Rampage would have put you right up front at that show. Powered by the iconic 2.2L engine, this car\/pickup mashup was mentioned in my Dodge pickup story<\/a> a while back. This one is in clean \u201cdriver\u201d condition, but sold for only $4,125!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1973 Dodge Challenger Resto Mod <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"1973<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve probably seen \u201cShakedown\u201d, our in-house-built classic Challenger that was restored with modern Mopar\u00ae<\/sub> parts. It was our take on the resto mod scene. This is a similar idea with countless hours\nof labor involved, a big, modern 5.7L HEMI\u00ae<\/sup> engine and nitrous oxide feeding it. Styling is subjective, and not\neveryone is in love with the graphics on this car. Regardless of that, there\u2019s no denying the\nappeal of a classic car that runs like a modern one. Sold for $52,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1967 Dodge Coronet R\/T<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"1967<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was impossible to ignore this \u201967\nCoronet! With a numbers-matching 440cid\nengine, automatic transmission and the original intake and carburetor, this one\nreally stood out. It has a couple of\nperiod-correct updates, but also includes the original parts so the buyer got\nthe whole package … and for what seems to be a great buy at $36,850.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up next, Dodge and Mecum head to Las Vegas! This is one of our favorite events of the year; sure, we\u2019re in Vegas, baby, but the vibe in the Las Vegas Convention Center is just so strong. Perhaps it\u2019s because this is the same venue for the legendary SEMA convention or simply because of the caliber of vehicles coming. Additionally, it\u2019s one of our favorite tracks for Dodge Thrill Rides because you DO NOT need a Mecum ticket to join us drifting Dodge Challenger SRT\u00ae<\/sup> Hellcats! We\u2019ll see you there October 10-12!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
