his is a 1998 Jeep Comanche Race Truck.
This is Tommy Archer's 1988 Racetruck Challenge truck that went on to win at Lime Rock. Tommy sold the truck to Dom Papa and sat in Papa's dealership showroom among other such beautiful, low millage examples of Dodge, Chrysler, and AMC automotive history. It changed hands in the early '90s... it was moved to the showroom floor... battery disconnected... and it went for a long nap. Until this year, Dean Cusano Brought it back to life.
The truck needed a new bladder in the original fuel cell container ( ATL still had the specs from when the truck was built in their records) , The Goodyears, as raced on were all dry rotted, so Dean just mounted a set that he had on hand - some Hoosiers.., a change of all fluids, replaced the cracked front spoiler with another that was new in a box in the back of the pickup bed, and a bigger racing seat as Tommy is kind of a skinny guy. The truck has been shown everywhere and ran the slalom event in the Papa's Dealership parking lot that was hosted by The Jaguar Club of Southern New England. Here is a video of the truck running the slalom:
Keep this in mind that this is the real deal that dominated the series that year. The truck is in original paint, has all the original parts that were put there by the Archer Brothers, runs great (and revs like a dirt bike), and currently has 4400 miles on the clock. Yup... 4400 MILES!!!
