One of the golden rules we’re taught growing up is to never judge a book by its cover. Equally as important, you should never judge a car by its paint job.

This car houses some unexpected details from a 5.9-liter, six-cylinder Cummins diesel engine out of a 1991 Dodge Ram truck to wheels picked up from a swap meet. And despite the original paint job, this car is far from a “rat rod.”
