The front-wheel-drive pickup was somewhat of an experiment, featuring &#8220;Stow &#8216;n Go&#8221; seats borrowed from the minivans of the time and a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine. While less than 40,000 sold overall, it generated a bit of a cult following. One such enthusiast is a Dodge Charger owner in Illinois who turned his muscle car into this modernized Rampage. The transformation was well executed, with smooth curves bridging the truck bed and cab together \u2013 almost unnoticeable from the front view. Our favorite feature? Obviously, the 5.7 HEMI<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> engine under the hood gives the car-style truck more power than the 1984 version would have ever dreamed of. This conversion somehow ended up on a list of \u201cUgly Car Mods\u201d, but we think it\u2019s a fresh take on a small piece of automotive history.
