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 late '60s when muscle cars started packing on premiums
to increase margins, Dodge continued to honor the tenets of the
cheap speed movement. In fact, the second-generation Charger was
carefully designed to stay firmly grounded in the realm of
affordability. And today, 50 years into 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
brilliant resto-mod for example. Combining 528 cubic inches of
aluminum Hemi stroker with a Tremec 5-speed, a professional
restoration, and a roster of both exceptional and logical upgrades,
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!
THE CHARGER'S CHARGER
A 'best-year' Charger resto-mod that's part strip scorcher and part
boulevard star, this striking coupe is the product of a
professional, nut-and-bolt restoration that was perfected by
Arizona MoPar experts SS and AFX. Naturally, that intricate build
included modern two-stage, which manifests as vivid orange pigment
that would've been right at home during Chrysler's High Impact
days. And that stunning shell is highlighted by a trick Charcoal
deck stripe that casts decidedly Bronze reflections.
This Dodge's all-American shine kicks off with a stainless-trimmed
grille, which hides bright halogen headlights behind a guarded
bumper, a sporty "Charger R/T" script and fratzog-branded parking
lamps. A pinned hood seats small turn indicators opposite polished
stainless wipers, which clear tinted, stainless-trimmed glass
that's reflected in color-keyed, Challenger-style mirrors. A sleek
profile centers an ornate fuel filler and a power antenna between
factory door handles and classy marker lamps. And at the back of
the car, a second guarded bumper frames a Satin Black valance
that's spiced with 1968-exclusive taillights.
THE HEMI'S HEMI
Spinning solid horsepower into tenacious torque, this Dodge's 528
cubic inch Indy Hemi is ready for anything the street throws at
it... Anything! At the top of the all-aluminum mill, a polished air
cleaner, complete with a reusable filter element, dumps breeze into
a beefy Holley Brawler 4-barrel that's complete with polished lines
and an electric choke. A lightweight MoPar intake plays well with
lightweight Edelbrock heads, which tilt dressed, Hemi-themed valve
covers over Stage V rockers, Smith Brothers pushrods and COMP solid
roller lifters. A quality SCAT crank spins tough SCAT rods beneath
a rowdy COMP cam and Ross Racing 10:1 pistons. Stout compression
gets sparked by a traditional-style distributor, which sequences
fire between MSD Digital 6A ignition and Taylor Spiro Pro plug
wires. An aluminum 440 Source water pump drains a modern aluminum
radiator that's sandwiched between big pulley fan and a big pusher
fan. Exhaust duties are handled by coated long-tube headers.
Glowing two-stage slinks through the whole engine bay, highlighting
a clean firewall and slick fenders. And overall, everything from
the car's polished breathers and Chrysler washer tank to its
braided fluid lines and Fuelab pressure regulator is well planned
and well executed.
THE RESTO-MOD'S RESTO-MOD
Bottom-side, a Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch kicks a trusty
Tremec TKO600 5-speed, which twists torque through a requisite Dana
60 axle that's built with a Trac-Lok differential and big, 3.73
gears. That dressed pumpkin pushes a traditional rear-clip that's
built around a big sway bar, mini tubs and relocated leaf springs.
Power-assisted steering guides a traditional torsion bar front-half
that's finished with a second big sway bar. Quick stops are a cinch
thanks to proven Wilwood calipers which, with the help of Hydratech
hydroboost, squeeze a quartet of drilled and slotted rotors. The
aforementioned headers push spent gases into coated, large-diameter
pipes, which align throaty Flowmaster mufflers behind an H-shaped
crossover. At the corners, bronze-tinged Budnik Murocs turn
275/45R18 Bridgestone Potenza Sports in front of 345/35ZR19
Bridgestone Potenza Scuderias. And the car's solid, Satin Black
floors are dotted with first class details like stainless hardware,
welded subframe connectors and a fresh fuel tank.
THE CLASSIC'S CLASSIC
When you pop this Charger's doors, you'll find a thoughtfully
updated cockpit that honors the car's legacy of being unabashedly
old school American muscle. Top dead center, a factory dash hangs
rebuilt factory telemetry next to controls for aftermarket air
conditioning, modern Alpine audio and small AutoMeter accessory
gauges. Modern bucket seats, reclining units that align big
bolsters with three-point shoulder belts, join a factory bench
between factory side panels. A tough TKO Pistol Grip Shifter sails
a factory console on clean, fade-free carpet. And the driver spins
a half-wrapped billet steering wheel.
With a beastly drivetrain, an excellent restoration and stunning
aesthetics, this super cool MoPar combines big swagger with big
appeal. It's fast. It's fun. And the addition of conveniences like
power steering, power brakes, modern air conditioning and modern
overdrive simply sweeten the deal. Longing for a lights-out
resto-mod that's built to please? Take a long look at this
impressive 1968 Charger!
