Recently updated on February 3, 2021 at 07:13 am

This beauty is clearly in the eye of the beholder, this Dodge Magnum (VIN: XS22N8R145171 / Project Mirrage) Restomod with V8! An extremely complex conversion that is very close to ours Tuning fails category scraped past. The vehicle is a specially made specimen from 1978. The Dodge Magnum is currently over eBay offered for $ 49.500 and is still looking for a new owner. And for a 1978 Magnum, the price is really high. On the other hand, you get a vehicle that is far from the standard and definitely a one-off. May the item description from the seller Garage Kept Motors believe, then the magnum was unchanged until 1990. It was only in the following 27 years that they worked tirelessly, a real one 1of1 to create that looks like no other Dodge in the world.

The Magnum was apparently completed in 2017 where it was shown to the world at the Detroit Autorama. And the vehicle has also won several awards. For example to the Syracuse Nationals. There he won the Gene Winfield 'Select 6' Award and he was awarded in October 2017 on the TV show Dream Ridez. Visually, the car is definitely getting used to. So we don't have to say much about looks. The pictures speak for themselves! Most of the changes were made by the Classics Coachworks team and all new body parts are made of metal and not cheap GRP. The body is painted in Tahitian Green Pearl, the gives the American classic a unique look. Elaborate changes such as the 5-inch (approx. 13 cm) chopped roof, the special rear window, the smaller side windows and the 6-inch (approx. 15 cm) extended body are only noticeable at second glance. In addition, the vehicle stands on a set of chrome-plated aluminum rims, there were special rear-view mirrors and the bonnet with power dome is unique.

The same applies to the perfectly fitted lights in the front and back of the aprons. The highlight is under the hood. This is where a 400-cubic-inch V8 engine tuned by Mopar works, which is braked appropriately using the Wilwood brake system with large disc brakes at the front and rear. The chassis is fitted with Airride air suspension and the two-tone (blue / brown) cabin is completely individual for a total of 4 people. There are, for example, front seats that can be rotated by 180 degrees, a new audio system with 15-inch subwoofers, color-coordinated LED ambient lighting and a new infotainment system. In addition, a rather strange steering wheel, a completely self-made dashboard with classic round instruments and a selector lever for the built-in automatic that is reminiscent of an airplane.
