Vehicle Description
The car that you always wished you had the time to build is now up
for grabs. This 1970 Dodge Challenger is classic sheetmetal wrapped
around a modern fuel-injected 6.1-liter Hemi V8 and a modern
suspension. Oh yes, this is the restomod of your dreams.
It's hard not to love one of the most intimidating looking muscle
cars of all time when its in a two-tone black and red. Especially
since this custom paint also has so much invested in it that
they're both shiny enough to be mirrors. A silver pinstripe
provides the dividing line for the two colors everywhere the trim
doesn't already, which gives this coupe a very cool custom
appearance. Of course paint is only as good as the sheetmetal
underneath, and it takes a laser straight body like this one
because imperfections can't hide from the slick black and
bloodthirsty red. Good gaps are also essential, and you're looking
at a refinished assembly that's far superior to what the factory
had time to achieve. This is built to be the ultimate R/T, so that
wouldn't be complete without the power bulge hood. Add in custom
touches like the modern chin spoiler, larger rear spoiler, and
massive 19-inch Volk Racing wheels filling the wheel wells, and
this is a uniquely intimidating package.
Chrysler's black bucket seat interior gets high marks for both
style and comfort, and even today this is a great place to spend
some quality time. Of course that's because this restomod has had
everything inside either replaced or refurbished to be the best.
And with only 268 miles on this complete custom build, it's like
getting a brand new car from 1970. Well, that's almost true except
a restomod blends all the iconic elements you love with new modern
pieces. For example you get the factory steering wheel, center
console, and iconic pistol-grip gearshift. But then you spot some
great upgrades like the AM/FM stereo with a place to plug in your
iPod and the ice-cold air conditioning. Plus, the glow of the full
set of Marshall gauges tells you there is something very special
under the hood.
Everyone wants a Hemi Challenger, but this one is a cut-above.
That's the fuel-injected 6.1-liter Hemi V8 crate motor similar to
what was utilized in the SRT8 Challengers. This powerplant reliably
delivers 425 hp and a monstrous 420 lb-ft of torque. So if you
thought the original Challengers could smoke their tires before
smoking everyone else on the streets, just wait until you try this
one! But the full custom build made sure that this big motor was
supported by reliable components. That's why has a Mancini high
torque starter, FAST aluminum intake, FAST 90 mm throttle, and
Champion aluminum radiator w/electric fan. You're in control of all
this power thanks to the stout TKO 600 five-speed manual that feeds
the reliable Ford 9-inch rear end. The performance X-pipe exhaust
system makes an amazing rumble, but don't just listen, check it out
in the undercarriage shots. While you're down there, check out the
nicely upgraded suspension. Up front is a new reinforced
independent setup with A-arms and adjustable coilovers. Plus,
there's thick anti-sway bars front and rear. Add to this power
steering, front disc brakes, and grippy low-profile performance
tires at each corner, and this is one complete restomod
package.
You've probably been totaling up in your head the time, labor, and
components it would take to re-create this ultimate Challenger like
you see here (we even have the build receipts for this one for
comparison.) It's now that you realize this restomod is worth every
penny and more. You're not the only one who's tantalized by this
coupe. The only problem is with a one-of-a-kind is once it's gone,
there won't be another. Call today!!!
