Vehicle Description
This Ray Barton Hemi-powered 1970 Dodge Charger Restomod is now
available at the MAXmotive Pittsburgh Showroom. This motor is
bigger than the ones he builds for Super Stock at a giant 540 cubic
inches. Barton's dyno shows 731 horsepower at 6500 rpm on 93 octane
fuel. And this is all motor, naturally aspirated! Stage V aluminum
Hemi heads straddle an Edelbrock open-air intake with a twin Holley
EFI fuel injection set-up on top, and the visual impact is enhanced
further with those sinister black Ray Barton Racing Engines valve
covers. The size of the header tubes are a hint of the capabilities
of this engine. The polished stainless exhaust system features
Flowmaster mufflers. For even more volume, a pair of DMH electric
dumps let the exhaust out before it reaches the mufflers. Another
item from the Super Stock world is a beefy Torqueflite automatic to
handle the power, complete with a B&M ratchet shifter and
reverse lock out. Suspension and handling upgrades from RMS (Reilly
Motorsports Inc.) Advanced Suspension Systems assures confident
control of the substantial performance capabilities of the car. The
foundation is the B-body AlterKtion 426 Hemi Street/Handling
Package. RMS also installed power steering, FR column, sway bar,
Viking shocks, and an ultra-high-performance Brake Conversion Kit
with 4-wheel Wilwood disc brakes. RMS of Gaffney SC is the
preferred suspension system for the entire Maxwell collection. The
paint is kicked up a notch too. Black Pearl covers the entire car
except for the Burnt Orange Bumblebee Stripes declaring that
there's a Hemi on board. The bumpers, door handles, and gas cap are
blacked out. The black and orange theme is carried into the
interior as well. Black leather bucket seats contain beautiful
orange suede inserts. Orange suede is found in strategic locations
in the center console, while suede stripes on the door panels
replicate the Dodge logo. Hi-tech Spek gauges decorate the dash
including a large tach. The Audio Dynamics sound system could have
been installed just for its looks. Speakers in the kick panels and
package tray and subwoofers and amps in the trunk have the look of
authority, and of course the powerful audio is exceeded only by the
golden tones of the big Hemi. This 1970 Dodge Charger 500 has been
thoroughly re-imagined and thoughtfully engineered. And it has the
hardware to back up its menacing look. See detailed photos at
