'70 Hemi Charger (Black). Perfect Car for sale

[7.62x51]

The car is nearly perfect IMO.

The only things I would change is a Big/Little setup (with Black Weld Beadlocks pictured below) and a higher HP, bigger CI motor with a big cam and high compression. The rest of the car is perfect in my opinion.

Personally I'm not a huge fan of the touring theme on old Mopars like this, but this car pulls it off!

Dodge : Charger Pro Touring in Dodge | eBay Motors

If you're like the gearheads at our RKM Performance Center, you prefer your Mopars fast, clean and seasoned with great style. That means you probably love this paint booth-fresh Charger pro-tourer and completely understand its significance as one of Dodge's most beloved and appreciated classics. So, how does today's muscle car fan get his fix for both modern performance and classic attitude? He takes a solid '70 B-Body, shoehorns a professionally detailed Indy Hemi between its fenders and builds a killer custom that's fit as much for show as it is for go!

When this sinister black Dodge rolled out of the restoration shop, its metamorphosis from 60s boss to 21st century cool officially concluded. Now, we've definitely seen some awesome pro-touring Chargers, but this one may just be the best yet! It's a legit XS29 R/T that was originally equipped with a 375 horsepower, 440 cubic inch V8. And as you can probably tell, someone spent a good amount of time and money making sure its body is straight and rust-free. Under the car's black and gray hood, a 426 cubic inch Indy Hemi was bolted between a Hilborn fuel injection system, a March serpentine kit and some choice Be Cool hardware to provide a dyno-proven 506 horsepower. At the base of that two-tone powerhouse, a restored and shortened chassis was gifted a modern Tremec 5-speed, an unstoppable Moser Dana 60 rear end and Wilwood four wheel power disc brakes. And everything was topped off with a fresh leather interior that revolves around a restored steering wheel, a familiar pistol grip shifter and a modern CD player.

The project started in the mechanic's bay, where every system in the car was evaluated, tested and visually inspected. Being that our work mostly consisted of hard part restoration and installation, not much was rebuilt or re-used. After all, the pro-touring mindset is to replace as many old pieces as possible with newer, more competent hardware. Once the new, Hemi-lead drivetrain was paired with an assembly line-fresh chassis, the guys in the body shop went to work sanding, buffing, painting and detailing all the car's massive exterior surface areas. And when the car's new digs had been completely buckled up, a custom upholstery shop mixed charming Chrysler style with serious leather comfort.

To true car guys, there's nothing better than learning about and creating the cars we love. And as RK Motors LLC's dedication to the hobby expands, we're constantly looking for ways to better service you, the enthusiast. The key to transforming top notch components into a show stopping head turner is bringing everything together into one seamless custom that's both functional and fun to look at. And thanks to a group of skilled restorers, this car's new owner can now lay claim to owning one of the coolest Mopars on the planet!

Holy hell that thing is gorgeous!!!

Car is so sick, but I am still not a big fan of the wheel setup. No aggressive enough IMO. Still....just about perfect :beer:

 

[SCBQQSTN]

Severe injustice was done putting a motor that small in that master piece. That is the only flaw with that car. it deserves at LEAST 500 CI

Good lord that thing is beautiful....:drool:

Correct, and it sits too high

so im pretty sure I need to go home and change after looking at the pics! This car is absolutely gorgeous! If I ever go back to old school muscle this is the level build I have to have.

If we could take the above Charger, add a 600+CI Hemi, give it a stance + wheels like this Charger below, then it would be perfect:

They have that car listed for $199,900 on their website along with some other very nice looking cars.

Wrong wheels for sure, especially for stock height suspension. A drag setup would look better.

For me though I'd have it mini-tubbed dropped a solid two inches with 18's.

 

[04svtterm]

MY god what a gorgeous car!!!! The wheels and tires aren't right for it. Me personally i would slam it with a set of aggressive Black Forged wheels and beefy tires....super wide in the back. That'll be my daily.

 

[SOHC46]

Eh, I am okay with the power plant. Obviously more power (bigger cubes) is always better. The biggest thing that bothers me with the car is the choice in wheels. They do not match the car's attitude at all. I would lower the car a little and put a nice set of period correct wheels on it. Done!

 

[7.62x51]

Can you imagine if it had a 1200+ HP Blown big block w/ these wheels (below) and the stance was correct?

hmmm

 

[Gray_Ghost]

All that work into it, and they don't even give it a good stance... Wtf? And the wheels don't go at all.

 

[RustyRodder]

They have that car listed for $199,900 on their website along with some other very nice looking cars.

that seems to be about twice as big as Id expect..:shrug:

 

[TClark22]

stellar car minus the wheels and stance...

 

[merlinmol]

So sick, I want one

 

[usmcsvtwannabe]

If I had the cash I would buy this for my dad, he would roll over dead lol. Thing is beautiful

At the price point they are trying to get for that car (they won't) there's a serious amount of items missing. The car is not a concourse restoration, but it's not completely a resto-mod or pro-touring car either.

They've spent a good bit of time on the front suspension, but it's got factory suspension in the rear. Given it's over-all design theme with modified parts, the car should also have flush mount glass, multi-link rear end, AC a 6 spd etc. The wheels and stance alone will kill it. They put a ton of money in to the engine compartment and skimped elsewhere.

This is a properly done B-Body.

EDIT: I still think the car is badass though. I'd certainly drive it. I'd either put the factory wheels back on it, or lower the suspension and go with some quality aftermarket offerings.

This is something that I always think about.

If you had hundreds of millions of dollars, and you wanted to drop $200-300k on a custom car like this, where would you take it where they would be top notch on exterior, interior, engine, drivetrain, suspension and all the other details?

Seems all these shops are specialized in one area. Would be nice to know of a place that will build a car exactly as you want it, with no compromises.
