Time capsule! 1969 Dodge Charger with Hellcat engine!

Many muscle car fans are thrilled when they hear it's a new one Restomod project that is trendy right now. Especially in times when even with Restomods more and more often electric drives it is a refreshing change when you read that an old-school combustion engine found its way into such a vehicle. But there are also purists among the oldie fans who say that a new gasoline engine has no place under the hood of an old car. But these critics are sure to fall silent when they hear what heart beats under the long hood of this 69 Dodge Charger. Because, in our opinion, it fits like a fist to the eye with the muscle car. But more on that later, because now we are going to present the project to you in more detail.

Classic and subtle sleeper!

For American hot rods and muscle cars of Phoenix, which is based in the state of Arizona, is responsible for the extraordinary Charger from 1969. Gone are the days when the muscle car behaved like a cruise ship thanks to a sports setup from Reily Motorsports , which includes an adjustable coilover brings all around.

There is also a new one rear suspension. This makes driving behavior significantly more dynamic. A ensures excellent deceleration from high speeds Wilwood brake system with disc brakes all around, which replaces the old, weakly dimensioned system. In order to create a sporty look that can keep up with the new chassis, the 18-inch alloy wheels Built in a five-spoke design with a low-bed optics, which go by the name ET Classic V. On these are summer tires raised by Nitto.

In addition, the car got a chrome-plated and polished Exhaust Systemthrough which the exhaust gases can escape. Otherwise not much has been changed in the basic design of the Charger, which means that it has retained its classic appearance. We are sure that you can score huge points with this vehicle at every US car meeting.

Interior with the zeitgeist of the 1960s.

The cockpit exudes the flair of a bygone era, and in our opinion that's a good thing. No effort was made to integrate modern gimmicks into the car, but instead renovated the interior contemporary. Wood, polished stainless steel and vinyl characterize the interior of the 69 Charger. That must have been the American way of drive around fifty years ago, and even today the vehicle is still perfect for spontaneous weekend trips to the countryside.

Hellcat 6,2 liter supercharged V8

The classic Charger stands there so tame and peaceful. But this is a fallacy, because as soon as you turn the key, a real monster comes to life. You are asleep under the hood Hellcat V8, which in some of the current Dodge models produces over 800 hp ex works (in this restomod it is +700). He ensures that you can still hunt for the quarter-mile crown with the aged Charger. This is possible with this car, because it is unlikely to know any opponents when it comes to the drag strip. Incidentally, the power transmission takes place via a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission auf die Rear wheels.
