Vehicle Description
For most enthusiasts, the privilege of owning a classic car isn't
about numbers or return on investment. It's about heading out on
the weekend and having a little bit of fun. It's about making a
statement and turning heads. It's about the excitement of putting
the wind in their face and the roar of an American V8 at their
back. That's why rides like this awesome Challenger resto-mod have
such a loyal following. Sure, you'll probably see another one at
the show. And it might not turn into a six-figure asset over the
next decade. But, it's cool, it's stylish, it's unique and, most
importantly, it provides a whole lot of enjoyment! Want to make it
yours? Your friends at RK Motors Charlotte are happy to help!
HEMI ORANGE, NATURALLY
This cool E-Body's nut-and-bolt, rotisserie restoration began when
its solid fuselage was meticulously stripped, carefully massaged
and thoroughly sanded by the good folks at Mint Restorations of
Clearwater, Florida. Once that canvas was fully prepped, flaked
Hemi Orange base was cased in clear and dressed in sinister
stripes. And today, this Dodge rolls as one very well done
pro-tourer that's built to turn heads and snap necks!
Unlike many striped and decaled creations, which tend to throw good
taste out the window, this awesome MoPar seamlessly balances a cool
personality with flashy good looks. At the front of the car, a
gray, '70-exclusive grille hangs trick headlights above a mirrored
bumper, sculpted parking lamps and T/A chin spoilers. At the top of
that grille, a pinned, T/A-style hood centers a functional scoop in
front of like-new glass that's framed in polished stainless and
reflected in color-keyed Rallye mirrors. At the sides of that hood,
satin door handles, bright marker lamps and an ornate fuel filler
highlight a smooth, professionally finished profile. And at the
back of the car, a "DODGE" branded valance hangs familiar
taillights between polished exhaust, a T/A deck spoiler and a
second polished bumper.
TWO WORDS: INDY & HEMI
Check the smoothed engine bay and you'll find 528 cubic inches of
Indy Street Legend Hemi that twists hearty 10.25 to 1 compression
into 726 dyno-proven horsepower and 667 lb./ft. of tire-scorching
torque! At the top of that $22K engine, a factory-style air cleaner
threads wind in to a steady stream of fossils that's provided by an
850cfm Demon 4-barrel. That perfect mixture of air and fuel floods
a slick Indy intake, which funnels speed in to aluminum Indy heads
that are dressed in polished breathers and cast valve covers. Those
heads cap a Maxx aluminum block, which spins an Eagle 4340 crank
and Eagle H-beam rods under Diamond pistons and a Comp roller cam.
At the front of that cam, an MSD Pro-Billet distributor sequences
spark between an MSD Blaster HVC coil and loomed MSD FireCore plug
wires. At the front of those wires, a Billet Specialties Tru Trac
serpentine drive spins a MoPar water pump between a polished
compressor, a polished alternator and tight power steering. Cooling
is provided by a big Be Cool radiator, which rides between spry
SPAL fans and a polished expansion tank. Exhaust roars through a
web of stainless headers. And details like billet hood supports, a
Melling oil pump and a 9-quart oil pan cement this Dodge's status
as a well-blended piece of choice mechanical art.
EXTREME POWER, XTREME VELOCITY
Take one look under this buff E-Body and you'll see that it
definitely has the chops to back up its sinister good looks. The
smooth-revving engine is hooked to a Keisler-supplied Tremec TKO600
5-speed that's fitted with a heavy duty hydraulic clutch. That
$5,400 transmission jerks a stalwart Chrysler 8.75-inch axle, which
is finished with a posi-traction differential and big, 3.73 gears.
The car's old-school torsion bar front-half has been completely
replaced by an XV Level II Suspension, which includes: an aluminum
K-member, aluminum controls arms, aluminum spindles, a splined sway
bar and Hyperco coil-over-shocks. That Level II prowess extends out
back, where factory leaf springs have been exchanged for an
adjustable 3-link, which employs a custom sway bar, an adjustable
Panhard bar and more adjustable Hyperco coil-overs. That
pavement-ripping suspension is augmented by modern power
rack-and-pinion steering and first class XV hydroboost braking,
which pinches 14-inch slotted rotors via 6-piston calipers and
13-inch slotted rotors via 2-piston calipers. An intimidating
engine note comes courtesy of polished pipes and polished Magnaflow
mufflers. Power meets the pavement through 3-piece Boze wheels,
which spin 275/35ZR18 BF Goodrich g-Force T/As in front of
295/35ZR18 BF Goodrich g-Force T/As. And the car's body-matched
floors frame an array of niceties that includes stainless fluid
lines, a stainless fuel tank and welded subframe connectors.
CUSTOM COMFORT
Between the doors, a custom cockpit seamlessly melds the timeless
good looks of American muscle with tasteful upgrades and modern
conveniences. Thick leather seats frame serious RJS harnesses in
sporty orange stitching. In front of those seats, a sculpted dash
hangs reliable Auto Meter telemetry above modern AC, modern audio
and metal foot pedals. That dash flows into a stylish console
that's fashioned around a TKO Pistol Grip Shifter. Rich carpet
crawls to custom side panels, which front modern power windows. And
in front of the driver, a polished and half-wrapped steering wheel
laps a polished, tilting column.
