Description
Lot #668 - This professionally-restored Challenger was awarded First in Class honors at the Carlisle Mopar Nationals and featured in Mopar Action Magazine. The car’s ground-up build began when its solid body was thoroughly stripped, carefully worked and realigned. That profile is augmented with Viper Orange 2-stage paint infused with extra pearl and dressed in black stripes. A power-operated top stretches Haartz Stayfast cloth over smoked glass, HID headlights and body-matched sport mirrors. A lightly customized interior boasts tasteful wood accents and bright stainless trim on thick Dynamat insulation. The driver spins a classy Flaming River steering wheel around factory Rallye Gauges and a tilting Flaming River column. A custom console centers a TKO Pistol Grip Shifter between LED-lit cup holders, switches for the car’s power windows and a 7” JVC stereo and DVD player that’s Bluetooth-capable and MP3-compatible. Under a Shaker Hood, a 472ci Mopar Performance HEMI engine makes 550 horsepower aided by a Comp cam with dual Edelbrock 625 carburetors. Power is distributed through a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission, which spins an 8.75” rear axle equipped with a Sure Grip differential and 3.91 gears. The car’s fully rebuilt suspension has been upfitted with tubular control arms, welded subframe connectors, small lowering blocks and large sway bars. Power-assisted steering and hydroboosted disc brakes join American Racing wheels and Nitto Invo tires for improved drivability. This superb Challenger’s documentation includes a book of restoration photos and a copy of the car’s Mopar Action Magazine feature.
