1957 Dodge D500 325 hemi station wagon Mopar Chrysler Plymouth 55 56 58 surf rod

This an uber-rare 1957 Dodge Sierra Station wagon with the original D 500 325" hemi under the hood.

This car is extraordinarily rare.

Indeed. if you do a Google search. you will find only one or two other '57 wagons. and neither has the D 500 badge which indicates the original D 500 hemi option.

The D 500 option consisted of a single 4 barrel. 9. 25:1 compression ratio 325 CID hemispherical head engine developing 285 horsepower at 4800 rpm with 345 lbs-ft of torque at 2800 rpm.

Not bad for mom's grocery getter!

In 1957. there were only 13. 33 Sierra 2-seat wagons and 4. 19 3-seat wagons.

Relatively few (production not recorded in the factory records) of either version were D 500 models.

I believe this car to be a 3 seat model as it has a box of 3 rd seat trim. but the seat itself is missing.

I have seen the third seats come up on e Bay occasionally.

I bought this car from a buddy in Hemet. California a couple of months ago because we were looking for a V 8 wagon to pull our vintage 1960 Airstream.

But. before this car even arrived I found a very nice. low mileage. 1964 Belvedere wagon that I bought as well.

So. the D 500 has to go.

This is a very solid desert car.

There is a bit of rust in the floors that has been repaired the old school way with pop rivets. but the area are quite small and would be easy to repair properly. or just leave them as-is.

The body is VERY straight and 99% rust-free.

All of the unobtainable wagon-specific trim and emblems are intact (including the D 500 emblem). with the exception two of the DODGE letters on the hood.

The hubcaps are all there.

I have all four NOS tail lights.

I have the original air cleaner.

It was originally two tone light gray and dark gray metallic with a red and black interior.

Mechanically. the car starts. runs. and sounds terrific.

I just had a complete dual exhaust system put on the car.

I haven't gone through the brakes yet. so drives have been limited to short stints around my shop complex with the parking brake. but the car runs well and the torqueflite shifts well.

There are no leaks from the motor or tranny. but the radiator does have a pinhole or two.

The car has power steering and power brakes.

The car has a clear title.
