    It wasn't an official package offered on the assembly line per-se,
but it was a kit which could be purchased and installed by the dealership.
It had a "Baha" racing theme, which included new tube style bumpers, a
tailgate net, rollbar, a spare tire carrier that mounted in the bed,
and probably some other stuff too. Of course, Walker Evans is a famous
Baha racer, though I don't know too much about how he was related to Dodge.
Must have been a sponsored racer. I think Dodge did something similar
with the Rams around the same time period - a "Rod Hall" edition, I
think it was?
