1961 Dodge Power Wagon

A LEGEND PRESERVED. NOT REWRITTEN.
Signature Autosports Presents A 1961 Dodge Power Wagon WM300
30 April 2026 by Signature Autosports, Wilmington, North Carolina

Few vehicles represent the grit, durability, and purpose-built engineering of post-war America like the Dodge Power Wagon. This 1961 WM300 now available from Signature Autosports and Desert Power Wagons is one of the finest examples available.

Carefully preserved and thoughtfully refurbished, it stands not as a reimagining but as a faithful continuation of everything that made the Power Wagon iconic in the first place.

FORM THAT FOLLOWS FUNCTION WITHOUT EXCEPTION

Finished in Mercedes-Benz Jupiter Red with contrasting gloss black fenders and running boards, this WM300 carries itself with the same no-nonsense confidence it left the factory with over six decades ago.

Inside, the focus remains true to its roots refined where it matters, untouched where it counts. Premium Camel leather upholstery elevates the bench seat and door cards, while a period-correct fiberboard headliner and a blend of restored original gauges preserve the truck s authentic character.

Out back, an African Sapele hardwood bed floor with stainless retaining strips adds a layer of craftsmanship that feels as timeless as the truck itself.

MECHANICAL HONESTY. PROVEN CAPABILITY.

Under the hood sits a freshly serviced 250-cubic-inch flathead inline-six producing approximately 125 horsepower and 216 lb-ft of torque.

Not impressive by modern standards.

But that s not the point.

Paired with a rugged NP420 4-speed manual transmission and a divorced two-speed transfer case, this Power Wagon retains its iconic twin-stick setup and part-time four-wheel drive system delivering the kind of mechanical engagement modern trucks simply can t replicate.

A factory Braden MU2 PTO winch provides up to 5,000 pounds of pulling power, while Power King Super Traction bias-ply tires mounted on split-ring steel wheels complete the look and the capability.

PRESERVED WITH INTENTION

This WM300 hasn t been modernized.

It s been respected at every level.

A comprehensive refurbishment ensures the truck is mechanically sound and visually striking, while preserving the character that defines it:

• Complete body restoration and period-correct paint including NEW doors, bed, and fenders

• Comprehensive mechanical service, including spark plugs, belts, battery, ignition, and horn

• Installed NEW power steering system

• Updated wiring and converted electrical system to 12 volts

• New door glass and windscreen seals, body weatherstripping and seals, and hardware

• Reproduction Power Wagon and Dodge chrome emblems

• New lighting installed including headlamps, tail lamps, marker lamps, and signal lamps

• African Sapele hardwood bed floor with stainless hardware

• Premium Camel leather bench seat and door card upholstery

• Period-correct fiberboard headliner covered in black vinyl

• New door hinges and pins, tailgate latch, tailgate hinges, tailgate chains

and much more

WHY IT MATTERS

This isn t a restomod.

It s not trying to be something it isn t.

It s a Power Wagon built to work, built to last, and still fully capable of doing both.

Whether it s displayed, driven, or put back to work, it represents a level of honesty in design and engineering that s increasingly rare.

OWN THE LEGEND

Opportunities to own a Power Wagon like this don t come along often.
