HEMI-Powered Thunder: The 1964 Dodge D-100 Cherry Bomb Truck

When it comes to wild custom builds, it doesn’t get much louder—literally or figuratively—than this one-of-a-kind 1964 Dodge D-100 Cherry Bomb truck, now for sale at LaFontaine Classic Cars in Milford, Michigan, for $42,995 (before tax, title, and fees). This beast has been featured on MotorTrend and Stacey David’s Gearz, and once you hear it run, you’ll understand why.

This D100 started life as a forgotten barn find in Georgia—a $300 relic covered in dirt and bird nests. But what it became is nothing short of badass. The crew at Delaney Automotive dropped in a monster Ray Barton-built 528 cubic-inch Mopar HEMI® V8, cranking out 650 horsepower. It’s backed by a Tremec T-6060 Viper 6-speed manual transmission, giving it true muscle car attitude with full control.

Stacey David himself got hands-on with this one, installing a ladder bar rear suspension and throwing on some killer Radir wheels wrapped in Coker tires, 7-inch up front, 10-inch drag slicks in the rear—for that classic hot rod rake. The reverse Zoomie headers with Cherry Bomb mufflers spit out that unmistakable thunder you’d expect from a straight-up street bruiser.

Performance doesn’t stop there. Under the hood sits a HEMI cross-ram intake with dual Holley carbs, aluminum heads, and an aluminum water pump. It features a stock alternator, a hydraulic clutch slave cylinder, and utilizes custom air cleaners. Braking is handled by Wilwood disc brakes, providing you with the stopping power to match all that muscle.

This truck doesn’t just run strong—it looks the part too. The frame is boxed up front, and the bed floor has been redone in real wood. A custom Cherry Bomb logo in a vintage patina style, created by Brian Papa Studios, lends it that old-school vibe. Inside, it’s got aftermarket gauges and a big tach, so you always know what that HEMI’s doing.

With its Ray Barton 528 HEMI, Viper 6-speed manual transmission, and standout vintage styling, it’s a rare opportunity to own a feature-worthy street machine with real pedigree.
