Barn Find - An Ultra-Clean First Gen

Nearly every hot rodder or car enthusiast has dreamed of striking it rich by finding a vintage muscle car hiding away in a barn. For diesel enthusiasts, having that dream come true is even more rare since most diesel owners use their trucks hard for work or play. But every once in a while you’ll find one that’s nearly new and has been well cared for. Such is the story behind Logan Yelton’s 1993 Dodge W250.

Yelton, of Walton, Kentucky, was lucky enough to find a near-perfect Dodge, which was bone stock and spent all of its life safe and sound in a garage. The elderly owner made Logan a great deal, and with a lot of help from his friends, Yelton transformed the Dodge into a 14-second reliable daily driver anyone would be proud to own. He’s a Mopar guy at heart, having done a full body-off restoration on a 1972 Duster, so getting his hands dirty on the diesel was no big deal.
