This 1970 Dodge Charger was built with the art of horsepower in mind. It's a labor of love that includes a ton of custom work wrapped in slick paint, custom interior, and custom-built 512ci monster under the hood this coupe is the product of when someone decides that only the best will do.The bright red paint immediately grabs your attention with an extra deep clearcoat that's worth every penny... and that's far from the only thing that keeps all eyes focused on this coupe. It perfectly blends old and new world styles, and it all starts with the iconic '70 Charger silhouette. It has a performance image that's burned into our minds thanks to Hollywood stardom in Bullitt, The Dukes of Hazzard, etc. But you can instantly tell that this one is a unique creation all of its own. All the panels have been expertly smoothed and integrated, and it all now shows the kind of precision gaps that come from a serious investment. So pay close attention, because everything from the drip rails to the door scoops have been removed so this car has a butter-smooth surface. In fact, keeping it all so smooth mean removing items like door handles and the trunk lock (now on remote solenoids) to make sure that nothing got in the way of the wave-free shine. Plus, we know Mopar guys are going to love how the front grille surround is now body-colored to make the covered headlights look even more sinister like a large mouth ready consume all the lesser cars out there. And in the back, the rear end was made into a single piece, and the bumper was color-matched to continue this seamless presentation. And while there was a lot of planning that went into giving this restomod the full custom red package, there was still plenty of room for American brightwork. You see it on everything from the flip-up fuel cap to the large Boyds billet wheels (18/20-inch front/rear). We could list all of the investments in the exterior, but then we'd run out of room to go over all the work on the interior and drivetrain! So call for all the details.The black of the grille and custom Dodge stripes on the outside are the perfect complement to introduce the full black interior. Everything from the bucket seats, to the door panels, to the carpeting looks deep, dark, and quite fresh. But Mopar fans will also instantly recognize a very cool feature. When Legendary Interiors restored the inside, they gave it the more personal setup that came from another legendary Mopar cousin, the Hemi 'Cuda. So not only do you get some pretty cool glances from those who know how special this is, but also this is a much more driver-oriented setup. Everything from the full gauge panel (including large tach) to upgraded retrosound radio (w/CD changer) are all part of a front panel directed at you. It makes for the perfect enveloping atmosphere for everything from the modern Billet Specialties steering wheel, to the classic gearstick sticking out of the bright center console.We will tell you right now that there will never be enough room on this web page to go over all the amazing details of this engine's custom build (so call to get the full picture.) After all that massive motor started life as a 440 cubic-inch V8 crate motor with 535 hp... and that was BEFORE a serious investment in performance components! It's now a 512ci stroker motor that's been fortified with United Engine ICON forged pistons, Total Seal rings, forged crankshaft, forged connecting rods, Comp Cam hydraulic camshaft, and so much more. Not only Is the full package balanced, but it also has great performance upgrades Edelbrock aluminum heads, Edelbrock intake, and a set of long tube headers that help create the thundering exhaust. Making sure that all this power is getting to the pavement is a stout TCI Street Fighter A727 three-speed automatic transmission w/3,200 RPM stall to keep you in the best powerband. And since power is nothing without control, the suspension has been fully upgraded. It now includes a new Magnum Force front suspension with thick Mancini sway bar, KYB rear shocks, power steering, and a Wilwood four-wheel disc brake package. This was already a rare Mopar before the custom work began, and now it's a one-of-a-kind dream custom. So this is a once in a lifetime opportunity on a Mopar that was built to win awards and eat the streets. Don't miss out, call today!
