It's a (dirty) Mopar Rat, top to bottom, front to back, cross-ram

A bit steep in the price, but it is pretty cool.

Not much money made on that one by the time you talk'en down to 9500
Imo Its priced fair for the fact it has a long ram suited big block in it...and you gotta leave yourself some wiggle room in the deal.

I love it aside from the "headers" those are gross. I'd just swap them for some raw long-tubes to keep the old rusty look, clean it up overall, put new joints in the suspension arms and probably new air bags, then drive the hell out of it.
After I talked him down to about half his asking price, more just because I can't afford more lmao

Really cool, but for that price they could’ve at least cleaned it

The cross ram and carbs is almost worth more than the whole car!!!!!!!!!!
It's great to see the likes of this. All be it yester-year that someone did this, but someone put what they had for stuff into a package and poof, we're seeing one mans creativity.
OK, I'll add this, whadaya think, this ,plus this? In my "log hauler".

How about this for 80k?
Saw this at bike night, guy says he paid 85k for it V twin diesel from a thermo king . Alot of nice work goes into some of these things. but 85k?

Technically, in mopar-speak, that is a long ram, not a crossram.

It is still a crossram, long or short, but you are right. Weren't some of these called "sono-ramic"

I saw a similar rat rod (rat truck?) at Ozark Raceway Park this past spring... he had airbags to adjust the ride height. It'd be pretty difficult to run with 1" ground clearance on our crappy roads! ;)

Those are cool and I like the look and innovation in them but I have no desire to be that uncomfortable driving a car that I spent a lot of money in
Ha ! Too funny ... I sold set of those to a guy in Nampa years back

I believe the "short" long rams don't have that long crease between the paired runners.

Yep. The original long rams had a full length divider between the ports. The intermediate version (prior to the max crossram) had the divider about half as long, to help top end power. (the original long ram is torque, only).
The long ram and short long ram are visually identical..... except for the divider crease length.
Nah, that's just for the cross ram manifold. The truck is FREE.

A friend of mine built something similar. And similarly, it sits outside.

Similar as in "also a waste of a good engine"
Never got into the Rat Rod thing. I think they are a pile of junk with some good parts.
