This Toyota Tundra Trophy Truck Won the Baja 500 Four Times - Video, Photo Gallery - autoevolution
In the early 1980s, Toyota and Precision Preparation Inc. (PPI) joined hands in an effort to diversify their streaks in motorsport. When legendary off-road racing driver Ivan “Ironman” Stewart jumped on the bandwagon, the recipe was complete and this baby started to steal the spotlight - Ivan Stewart’s mad 1994 Toyota PPI Tundra Trophy Truck 015. With 27 miles (43. 4 miles) on... That’s a mammoth amount of green dollar bills, but you’re in the presence of a successful race truck, one of the most succesful. In 1998, this example of chassis 015 managed to tackle the Baja 1000 by crossing the finish line first. That first-place finish is followed by no less than four Baja 500 titles. This, boys and girls, is a seminal fire-breathing monster in off-road motorsport history. With race-grade double A-arm suspension system and 22 inches of travel for the 17x7-inch 48-bolt deadlock wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich 37-inch T/A KR rubber, this is as serious as offroading gets if you had enough of your lifted 4Runner. Thanks to double overhead camshafts, special components, a 13:1 compression ration and a full-length stainless steel exhaust system, the 302 cubic inch eight-cylinder motor is good for more than 550 horsepower. Other than the trophy truck itself, this sale includes a wide range of irreplaceable bits and bobs. - Original chassis blueprints. Source: www.autoevolution.com
