1956 Dodge "Sweet Pea" Radical Custom Pickup – Magazine Featured, Famous Northeast Show Car
Offered here is “Sweet Pea,” a wildly creative and professionally built 1956 Dodge Radical Custom Pickup—a one-of-a-kind hot rod that has become a well-known name in the Northeastern custom car scene. This is not your typical classic truck—Sweet Pea is a full-blown, super radical custom, the kind that turns heads, wins awards, and stops people in their tracks.
This incredible build has been featured in multiple magazines over the years and comes from a private collection of classic hot rods and vintage customs. The quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail throughout this truck are immediately evident—this is the kind of vehicle you see at major custom car shows, not parked at your average cruise-in.
Under the hood is a small block Mopar V8, but we are in the process of confirming whether it is a 318, 340, or 360 cubic inch engine. Regardless of which block it turns out to be, it delivers strong, reliable performance and provides that unmistakable Mopar muscle sound.
The exterior showcases an extreme custom design—chopped, smoothed, and radically restyled with stunning craftsmanship from front to back. Every inch of the bodywork has been thoughtfully executed to create a cohesive and unforgettable look. From the custom grille and frenched headlights to the bed modifications and signature paintwork, this truck is dripping with personality and attitude.
Additional highlights include:
Sweet Pea is not just a truck—it’s a statement. Whether you're looking to show it, collect it, or simply own a piece of Northeast hot rod history, this is an opportunity to acquire a truck that’s been celebrated by magazines, admired at car shows, and remembered by everyone who sees it.
Serious buyers only—this is a high-end, professionally built radical custom unlike anything else on the market.
While we do our best to provide the highest quality muscle cars with an honest and reliable description and realize the importance of transparency when selling vehicles. That being said, we have not built, modified, changed or personally owned this vehicle. Whether this vehicle is consigned or owned by Past & Present Motor Cars we do not know the vehicles complete history since new. We want to be clear and try to answer any questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we not only welcome but we encourage 3rd party independent inspections. Please inquire prior to purchase to make sure the advertised vehicle has not already been sold. We list our vehicles on multiple websites and a vehicle can sell at any time. If a customer chooses to purchase sight unseen (many of our customers choose this option) the customer accepts the vehicle AS IS and WHERE IS and understands we cannot address concerns after purchase. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale. Financing is Available with low rates and Vehicle Shipping is available from our Showroom to your Garage. A Classic Car Warranty is Available for Purchase from a 3rd Party.
