SEMA (http://www.autoblog.com/sema/) is right around the corner, folks, and that means a whole slew of custom auto builders are working furiously to finish project cars in time for their Vegas introductions. One of the coolest is bound to come from ICON (http://autoblog.com/tag/icon). Based on a 1965 Dodge (http://autoblog.com/dodge) D200 crew cab that previously saw use by the U.S. military, we fully expect ICON's latest to be in the running for best-of-show.
Underneath the customized vintage bodywork will sit a chassis borrowed from a much more recent Ram (http://www.autoblog.com/ram/) 3500 fitted with a 4.5-inch suspension lift kit. A Banks (http://autoblog.com/tag/banks)-modified Cummins turbodiesel with six inline cylinders displacing 5.9 liters will reportedly pump out 975 pound-feet of torque. That's the kind of get-up-and-go we can get behind.
Only one of these machines is currently being built, painted in white with black accents and wheels. The interior is sewn up from free-range bison leather and is outfitted with a high-end stereo system, according to Fox News. This one is headed to an anonymous client, and we're jealous.
