Vehicle Description
With its aggressive full midnight appearance and big V8 power to
back it up, this exceptionally restored 1970 Dodge Charger 426 Hemi
is the ultimate expression of a muscle Mopar.
Let's start with the paint you can't take your eyes off of. Black
is arguably the best-looking color on these Chargers - especially
since it was made sure that the body panels were laser straight so
they could accept a professional application of a modern mirror
black. Now it has enough clearcoat to make the deep dark appearance
look like its protected by a candy shell. The full midnight package
is given a cool hint of color with the bold red bumblebee stripe on
the rear. And this goes so nicely with the R/T badging and redline
tires to give it a nicely coordinated aggressive touch. Plus, the
simulated vents on the doors and hood add to the overall
intimidation factor. Of course, what really makes this Charger such
a great outlaw is the front end with hidden headlights and big
chrome surround. So this coupe looks like it wants to consume all
the lesser cars in its way.
Inside there have been the right investments to keep this fresh,
premium, and quite comfortable. It starts with high-back bucket
seats with a center console in-between. You might notice that these
feel exceptionally fresh. That's because the seats, carpeting, door
panels, and headliner are all part of a new package from Legendary
Auto Interiors. This Charger keeps a premium attitude with wood
paneling on the steering wheel, dash, and console. The driver gets
a three-spoke steering wheel and just beyond that is a full set of
gauges. And as you look over this full setup, you're going to spot
all the iconic elements Mopar people love - from the tic-toc-tach
to the pistol-grip shifter.
Under the hood is a Mopar legend: the 426 Hemi motor. But the
performance story goes much deeper. It's a crate motor installed in
2012. Not only is this V8 fresher than most classics (and the tidy
engine bay reinforces this,) but also it's more powerful thanks to
dual Edelbrock four-barrel carburetors on top. In fact, the motor
produces a street-eating 425 horsepower. You can show everyone the
dyno sheet as proof, but really, the rumble of the dual exhaust
will let everyone know it's a big power machine. And to make sure
you have complete control, this has the legendarily stout A-833
four-speed manual transmission. This connects to a new heavy duty
driveshaft on its way to the limited slip rear end. And because
sometimes all you want to do is cruise, this Hemi Charger also has
good driving features like power steering and front disc brakes,
too.
There's a huge stack of build receipts that come with the sale, but
you can already see the total quality from every angle (including
the undercarriage photos.) This is the iconic muscle car restored
to the best standards of power and poise. So don't miss your
chance. Call today!!!
