Restomod - 585PS Chevy V8 in Dodge Power Wagon

The team around the restoration professionals from Legacy Classic Trucks has tuned a new vehicle. A Dodge toilet built in 1941 serves as the basis for the project. After the tuning and restoration cure that the car was allowed to endure, it is now much more exciting and of course more individual than the production model. For owners of the same model, the tuner & restorer is definitely an interesting and perhaps even unique starting point when it comes to not only restoring the Dodge Power Wagon, but also using Restomod tuning (means "old vehicle -> new technology", for example on this one Dodge Chargeror this 1973er Mazda RX-3 or even that Toyota RA24) with the latest technology stuffing.
