Vehicle Description
Combining the invigorating rush of modern performance with the raw
appeal of classic Detroit muscle, this Pro-Touring 1970 Charger's
professional restoration began with a rust-free Charger R/T body
that was carefully acid-dipped and E-coated before multiple coats
of PPG Grigio Pearl Metallic were applied under blacked-out trim, a
black hood treatment and a black bumblebee stripe. The cockpit was
adorned with a stunning leather interior carefully installed around
hand-stitched bucket seats supplied by Upholstery Unlimited. The
cabin stays comfortable thanks to modern air conditioning and
Dynamat insulation. Modern Auto Meter telemetry joins an
MP3-capable Pioneer CD player to keep the driver informed and fully
entertained while gripping an aftermarket Tuff Wheel and rowing the
billet shifter. This custom is powered by a 500ci Indy Cylinder
Head Wedge V8 engine. Fully balanced and blueprinted, the engine
matches 575 dyno-proven horsepower with 575 ft/lbs of torque.
Highlights of the application-specific mill include Edelbrock
Performer RPM heads, electronic ignition, a 4340 crank, Eagle
H-beam rods, a COMP hydraulic cam, Speed Pro hypereutectic pistons
and a 750cfm Demon carburetor. Power delivery is handled by a
Keisler-modified Tremec TKO500 5-speed manual transmission, which
utilizes a hydraulic clutch to power a Moser Dana 60 axle that's
equipped with 3.54 gears. Handling characteristics are provided by
AFCO double-adjustable coilovers, joined by a Reilly MotorSports
front clip with a modified Detroit Speed rear suspension. Modern
power steering and Wilwood disc brakes take full advantage of the
excellent grip provided by Nitto NT555 Extreme ZR tires wrapped
around Fikse wheels.
