Truly one of those, you cant build it for what you can buy it for cars. This iconic Mopar was treated to her body modifications first. This included at the time headlights, tail lights, and door mirrors to be grafted into the 1970 Challenger body from a modern Challenger. The door handles have been shaved, and electric door poppers open the doors via a programmed key fob. The car was showcased at SEMA for its body modifications. After the car returned home from the show, the owner enjoyed and drove the car with the body modifications complete. He then quickly realized, when a car looks this good, it needs to have the power to back up those looks! The car was sent to esteemed Cleveland Power & Performance in Ohio for its fabrication and mechanical upgrades. The original driveline at the time was removed, and the interior of the car was stripped down to a bone.
The entire Challenger was professionally wired. All four door glasses were treated to a power window conversion, and the gaps were then adjusted for the fit you see now on the Challenger. The tunnel was professionally modified to fit the modern Hemi Nag-1 5 speed auto transmission. The seat tracks of the modern Challenger were modified, and the floor sunk to allow more headroom for the modern Challenger seats. The interior floor then had sound deadener added before the carpet was installed. The Challenger was prepped, and professionally painted with a rubberized undercoating to help protect against heat, help reduce road noise, and keep the underside protected against rock chips. Under the hood, a modern 6.4 SRT-8 Hemi was installed. The driveline has a documented 13,000 miles on the engine and transmission. New aftermarket transmission cooler and a new aftermarket power steering cooler was added as well. New aluminum radiator to keep the engine cool, and vintage air inside the cabin to keep the occupants cool. TTI headers were professionally modified and TIG welded for proper clearance. A custom stainless 304 exhaust was fabricated with Kooks mufflers handling the sound. A new carbon fiber driveshaft transfers the power to the rear axle. Stainless steel fuel tank, with new stainless steel fuel and new brake lines were custom bent and routed on the underside. Wilwood brakes are neatly tucked behind 2 piece aluminum Forgiato 22 rims. Adjustable Ridetech coil overs handle stance and performance at each corner. Inside the Challenger, a custom ordered and made Dakota Digital gauge monitors speed and RPMs.. The gauge also can be color adjusted by the operator. Kenwood head unit, JL speakers throughout, highlighted by 4 JL subwoofers in the parcel shelf, powered by 3 JL amps in the trunk. Dyno tuned, and over 1,900 test/enjoyment miles since the mechanical build was completed. This totally one of a kind Challenger is ready for its next home.
Remember any reputable shop is booked out over a year plus. When you add the cost of body work, paint materials, alllllllllllllllllll of the aftermarket parts, the 6.4 HEMI driveline, and the labor to properly install allllllllllllll of those aftermarket parts, do not hesitate on this black beauty. You will be kicking yourself while your Mopar is at the shop for 2 plus years getting built for way more money than you can purchase this Challenger for.
