Ram Race Vans
A couple of motorcycle racers in Japan, who used Dodge Ram Vans to transport their motorcycles to and from the track, decided to take their transporters onto the track for a friendly race. It caught on and, eight years later, the resulting “race cars” are some seriously modified Dodge vans that compete in a yearly D-Van Grand Prix. We love it! Find more info at Hooniverse.

1998 Dodge Viper Prototype GT-3 Race Car on Craigslist
Hooniverse found this Viper race car on Craigslist. This car was actually a prototype built thru a partnership with Chrysler and, upon seeing the result, Chrysler decided to take the program in-house and created the Viper Competition Coupe! The car was reportedly stored from 2002 until 2014. Find a great write-up in the Craigslist ad. More pics after the jump!
Project Violent Valiant Update
Back in October 2013, we brought you word of a plan by Bangshift and Hot Rod Chassis and Cycle to build a pro touring style 1964 Plymouth Valiant – Violent Valiant. That plan has become a reality. The car is not 100% finished but we think they certainly made good on their plan. Find more info at Street Legal TV. More pics and video after the jump!
