Sierra Wagon

D500 325 Hemi

Torqueflite

Clear

This an uber-rare 1957 Dodge Sierra Station wagon with the original D500 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 D500 badge which indicates the original D500 hemi option. The D500 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 13,033 Sierra 2-seat wagons and 4,019 3-seat wagons. Relatively few (engine options not recorded in the factory records) of either version were D500 models. I believe this car to be a 3 seat model as it has a box of 3rd seat trim, but the seat itself is missing. I have seen the third seats come up on eBay occasionally. The second photo with the black car is shown for representation of a restored car. I bought this car from a buddy in Hemet, California a couple of months ago because we were looking for a V8 wagon to pull our vintage 1960 Airstream. But, we are now moving and I need to cull the herd. 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 areas are quite small and would be easy to repair properly, or just leave them as-is. The body is VERY straight and 95% rust-free. All of the unobtainable wagon-specific trim and emblems are intact (including the D500 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 D500 solid lifter hemi starts, runs, and sounds terrific. It doesn't smoke, has great oil pressure and has no unusual noises. I just had a complete dual exhaust system put on the car. I haven't gone through the brakes yet, so my drives have been limited to short stints around my shop complex, 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. It has power steering and power brakes. It has a clear title. I have listed this car a couple of times previously, and in both instances it was bid to over $10,000, so the current buy it now price is a steal!
