Ground Up Restored Charger R/T Restomod 440 V8 Automatic A/C Leather

Thoughts of the legendary Charger immediately bring to mind a near perfect blend of basic transportation and big performance. See, back in the '60s when muscle cars packed on premiums to increase margins, Dodge continued to honor the tenets of the cheap speed movement. In fact, the second-generation Charger was carefully redesigned 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 brilliantly dapper coupe for example. Combining 440 cubic inches of massaged big block with an A727 3-speed automatic, a fully upgraded suspension and a ground-up, nut-and-bolt restoration, 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!

ATOMIC AUTHENTIC

Mixing all-American Atomic Orange glow with a bold vinyl roof and custom war paint, this authentic Charger R/T is the beneficiary of a detailed restoration that's impressively fresh and extremely clean. That comprehensive rebuild stripped all the car's metal on its way to incorporating a roster of mechanical, aesthetic and structural improvements. And today, this classic rolls as one brazen bruiser that's a testament to both timeless design and world-beating performance!

Replaced during its thorough build, every bit of this MoPar's bright ornamentation presents extremely well. At the front of the car, a chrome-trimmed grille hangs a traditional “Charger R/T” script between hidden headlamps and amber parking lights. Behind that grille, a scalloped hood centers small turn indicators in front of crisp glass that's cleared by matte wipers and framed in polished stainless. At the sides of that glass, a “Charger” branded profile centers a correct mirror and traditional door handles between clean marker lamps, bold R/T scoops and an ornate Pit Stop Fuel Filler. And at the back of the car, a Satin Black valance centers a second "Charger R/T" script between clean taillights, a guarded bumper and polished exhaust tips.

IRON HEART

Check the car's smoothed and body-matched engine bay and you'll find 440 cubic inches of retro RB legend that's 100% iron all the way from its block up to its heads. At the top of that reliable mill, a color-keyed billet air cleaner threads wind into a steady stream of fossils that's provided by a big Holley 4-barrel. That perfect mixture of air and fuel, modulated through a quality Lokar linkage, floods a slick Edelbrock Performer 440 intake. That intake funnels speed into factory-spec heads, which tilt a polished breather, a polished oil cap and body-matched valve covers away from a sporty COMP cam. At the front of those covers, an electronic distributor sequences spark between a chrome coil and loomed MSD Street Fire wires. At the front of those wires, billet pulleys wrap a pliable serpentine belt around modern air conditioning and modern power steering. Cooling is provided by a polished Champion radiator, which rides in front of two electric puller fans. Exhaust roars through coated long-tube headers. Details like a familiar Wilwood master cylinder and a high capacity oil pan cement this Dodge's status as a well-blended piece of choice mechanical art. And everything sits stiffer thanks to custom chassis tubes and a Magnum Force mount plate.

A TRUE RESTO-MOD

Park this B-Body on a lift and you'll find solid, undercoated floors that frame an array of top-notch upgrades. Behind the 440 V8, a 2,200 RPM stall kicks a tough A727 3-speed automatic, which spins a proven Dana Super 60 axle that hides sporty 3.54 gears behind a trick LPW inspection cover. That killer drivetrain pushes a retrofitted 4-bar rear-clip that's finished with tubular control arms and double-adjustable Jegs coil-overs. Opposite that clip, a tubular Magnum Force K-member rides between a heavy-duty sway bar, a second round of tubular control arms and double-adjustable Viking coil-overs. Turns are coordinated through Magnum Force power rack-and-pinion steering. Quick power is countered by quick stops thanks to big Wilwood calipers, which clamp a quartet of drilled and slotted rotors. An impressive soundtrack is funneled through large-diameter pipes, which center an X-shaped crossover in front of welded, dual-chamber mufflers. All that proven hardware rolls on muted 5-spoke aluminum wheels, which spin 245/40ZR18 Nitto NT555 Extreme ZR tires in front of 305/40R18 Nitto NT555 Extreme Drags. And everything stays tight thanks to tubular subframe connectors.

A TRUE ORIGINAL

Counter to today's obsession with technology and convenience, it seems old school American muscle cars only needed simple stitching, a bit of stainless trim and essential instrumentation to strike a perfect balance of 'instantly classic' and 'perpetually cool'. Open this Charger's solid doors and you'll find a tastefully updated cockpit where French-stitched Ultraleather buckets meld seamlessly with a stylish, no-nonsense driving environment. An Atomic Orange dash hangs rebuilt telemetry beside correct Chrysler Solid State audio and a small Equus oil pressure gauge. Beneath that dash, a stainless-trimmed console stacks a Chrysler pushbutton shifter in front of hidden controls for modern air conditioning. Like-new carpet bridges the gap between custom door panels. And in front of the driver, an old school steering wheel laps a body-matched column.

With a stout 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, disc brakes, air conditioning and custom upholstery simply sweeten the deal. Longing for a lights-out resto-mod that's built to please? Take a long look at this impressive 1970 Charger!
