The Model When Dodge released the charger as their
intermediate-sized car in 1966, the car looked fast with its
fastback design, but sales were sluggish. Car buyers apparently
liked the redesign for 1968 as sales picked up for the second
generation of the model. �Dodges second redesign for the Charger
hit the street in 1971 and featured a beefer design that reverted
back to the fastback design. ��
The Car NASCAR was in its heyday in the late 60's and early 70's as
the sport's popularity exploded. Race cars from the top series from
the era were often passed down and rebuilt until they were no
longer competitive at which point they are often left to die. �This
Charger, piloted by Vandiver, however, remains just the way it
finished its last race. �It was taken from the track and put into
storage. �Nothing has been changed, reworked, recreated or fitted
in this time capsule, right down to the driver's water bottle,
still in the car. �The NASCAR style Hemi engine under the hood has
been tuned up and refreshed, brought back to life by another NASCAR
legend, Ray Evernham. This piece of racing history is extremely
well documented and was featured in the 1977 movie "Grease
Lightning" as well as in an upcoming episode of Evernham's Show
"Americarna". �True historic pieces of racing history are few and
far between and this genuine racer will fit right in as part of any
top-notch collection.
