OM617A-Powered 1956 Dodge C-3-B Pickup

The striking 1956 Dodge C-3 pickup, powered by a rare Mercedes-Benz OM617A turbodiesel engine, stands out as an ingenious blend of vintage American style and modern Euro performance. This iconic pickup, manufactured in the heart of the United States' automotive industry, bears the badge of its original city Opelika, Alabama. Despite its age, evidenced by its manufacture date in 1956, this distinctive vehicle has been lovingly transformed into a powerhouse with a custom-fabricated steel frame and independent suspension. Its crowning achievement comes from the implementation of a 3.0-liter Mercedes-Benz OM617A turbodiesel inline-five engine, mated to a smooth-shifting four-speed automatic transmission, and coupled with a Jaguar-sourced rear end. This unique combination of American classic meets European grit makes this Dodge C-3-B pick up an attractive proposition for any automotive enthusiast seeking a head-turning, high-performance daily driver.
