Vehicle Description
Thoughts of the legendary Charger immediately bring to mind a near
perfect blend of basic transportation and big performance. See,
back in the '60s when muscle cars packed on premiums to increase
margins, Dodge continued to honor the tenets of the cheap speed
movement. In fact, the second-generation Charger was carefully
redesigned to stay firmly grounded in the realm of affordability.
And today, almost 50 years in to the future, that adherence to
principle fosters a remarkable line-up of classics that, because of
their purity, seem to perpetually gain value. Take this brilliantly
dapper coupe for example. Combining 528 cubic inches of aluminum
Hemi with an A727 ProRace 3-speed, a full Hotchkis suspension and
seven years of rotisserie restoration, it's an excellent example of
why vintage Detroit metal will always be incredibly appealing.
Shopping for an unadulterated embodiment of the quintessential
muscle car? Take a long look at this impressive MoPar!
SO SUBLIME IT STEALS THE LIMELIGHT
Mixing sultry Sublime paint with bold Black and White vinyl, this
classic Charger began life as a spry 318 car that was
custom-ordered by a Chrysler assembly line employee. After an easy
20K miles, that worker passed the Dodge to its second owner: a
dedicated enthusiast who would enjoy the car for close to two
decades. Toward the end of that stay, the coupe's solid,
all-original body was subjected to a 7-year rotisserie restoration
that combined handsome factory aesthetics with ultimate pro-touring
drivability. That 3,000-hour build, professionally completed in
late 2015 by Westmont, Illinois' Body Language, covered fully
stripped metal in correct Sikkens Sublime 2-stage. With fit good
and finish slick, an original vinyl roof was complemented with a
white tail stripe. And today, this classic rolls as one brazen
bruiser that mixes timeless design with world-beating
performance!
Replaced during its thorough build, every bit of this MoPar's
bright ornamentation presents extremely well. At the front of the
car, a chrome-trimmed grille hangs an off-set "Charger" script
between hidden headlamps and amber parking lights. Behind that
grille, a scalloped hood centers bold "HEMI" callouts between small
turn indicators and crisp glass that's framed in straight
stainless. At the sides of that glass, a "Charger" branded profile
centers a correct mirror and traditional door handles between clean
marker lamps, tidy wheel lips and an ornate Pit Stop fuel filler.
And at the back of the car, a chrome valance centers a fourth
"Charger" script between factory taillights, a guarded bumper and
an aftermarket spoiler.
528 > 426
Check the body-matched engine bay and you'll find 528 cubic inches
of Hemi legend that, thanks to the power-hungry pros at Morton
Illinois' Chenoweth Speed and Machine, twists a massive 668
horsepower into 650 lb./ft. of neck-snapping torque! At the top of
that World Aluminum block, a Scorpion Racing Products throttle body
threads wind in to a steady stream of fossils that's provided by
Holley sequential fuel injection. That prefect mixture of air and
fuel, tweaked through an in-car touchscreen controller, floods a
slick Mopar intake. That intake funnels speed in to aluminum Mopar
Performance/Edelbrock heads that are dressed in polished Keith
Black breathers and Hemi-themed valve covers. Those heads cap a
forged JE crank, which spins forged Eagle rods under a custom-grind
roller cam. At the front of that cam, a billet FAST Dual-Sync
distributor sequences MSD 6AL ignition between an MSD Blaster II
HVC coil and loomed MSD FireCore plug wires. At the front of those
wires, a polished serpentine drive spins a Jones Racing power
steering pump opposite a polished MSD APS alternator. Cooling is
provided by a big Be Cool radiator, which rides between a billet
water neck, dual SPAL puller fans and a snazzy a Be Cool expansion
tank. Exhaust roars through coated TTI headers. And details like
FAST fuel components, a billet Milodon oil pump, a spry Optima
battery and an old school Chrysler washer reservoir cement this
Dodge's status as a well-blended piece of choice mechanical
art.
A TRUE PRO-TOURER
Park this B-Body on a lift and you'll find solid, Gloss Black
floors that frame a roster of top-notch upgrades. Behind the Hemi,
an A727 ProRace 3-speed, sourced from Cope Racing Transmissions,
makes excellent use of a billet steel front drum, thick lug pump
gears and a Cope Racing 727 Ultimate Sprag. Behind that kit, a
powder-coated Strange Dana 60 utilizes an S-Trac limited-slip
differential and 3.54 Spicer gears to put the power to the
pavement. That killer drivetrain pushes a Hotchkis Total Vehicle
System suspension. The aforementioned Jones Racing steering pump
powers a quality Borgeson gearbox. Quick power is countered by
quick stops thanks to green-tinged Viper discs. An impressive
soundtrack is funneled through 3-inch TTI pipes, which center an
X-shaped crossover in front of welded Dynomax mufflers and polished
TTI tips. All that proven hardware rolls on machined Magnum 500
replicas, which spin 245/45ZR17 Toyo Proxes in front of 315/35R17
Toyo Proxes. And everything, from this coupe's finned transmission
pan and Strange inspection cover to its custom fuel tank and
deep-sump Milodon oil pan, appears clean, well-thought and
thoroughly upgraded.
A TRUE ORIGINAL
Counter to today's obsession with technology and convenience, it
seems old school American muscle cars only needed simple stitching,
a bit of stainless trim and essential instrumentation to strike a
perfect balance of 'instantly classic' and 'perpetually cool'. Open
this Charger's solid doors and you'll find a mostly-original
cockpit where carefully re-covered buckets meld seamlessly with a
stylish, no-nonsense driving environment. In front of those
thrones, a monochromatic dash hangs rebuilt Rallye gauges beside
correct Chrysler Solid State audio. Beneath that radio, a
wood-trimmed console frames a Chrysler Slap Stick shifter. Like-new
carpet floats Charger-themed floor mats toward surprisingly
weather-free door panels. In front of the driver, an original Rim
Blow Steering Wheel laps a contrasting Dodge center piece. And
behind the cockpit, a restored trunk features an original mat and
correct space saver spare tire.
