This Charger R/T was originally built as a high-option 440 Magnum grand touring
performance package, combining big-block power with factory comfort options including air
conditioning, power steering, console interior, and premium trim features.
The car has since undergone a comprehensive show-quality restoration supported by full photo documentation.
The factory air conditioning system has been retained and is included with the vehicle, allowing for correct restoration reinstatement if desired (We would be happy to perform this work for the next owner should they wish to return the car to its original factory air-conditioned configuration)
