Quicksilver ’35 Dodge Coupe

Quicksilver ’35 Dodge Coupe

Gary Reed in Colorado has one of the more radical ’35 Dodge coupes you’re ever going to run across, and this thing is all-Mopar from one end to the other. As they often say, anything worth doing is worth over-doing, so, when Gary decided to turn his somewhat derelict coupe into a street rod, he swung for the fences. Gary was one of the fortunate few who managed to find a wrecked Viper in a salvage yard, so the coupe now sports the big Copperhead V10 from the Viper, along with its six-speed stick. Needless to say, dropping the hammer on this one can produce a lot of tire smoke, but, Gary wanted it to be long-haul comfortable as well as seriously fast. To that end, you’ve got leather power seats, power windows, a GPS navigation system, Dakota Digital gauges, electric power brakes, a monster sound system, air conditioning, you name it. As is the case with most street rods, above all else, this one was built for driving and making every local cruise night and local car show event anywhere near home. If the snow isn’t all over the ground, on any given weekend, you’ll likely find the slick silver coupe rolling somewhere. And, with all the modern creature comforts inside the cabin and the slicked up and smoothed body of the ’35, which was already pretty slick to begin with, this one is hard to miss. Kudos to Gary for thinking outside of the box on this one, and hopefully we’ll get to see it in person soon.
