Description
Lot #701 - Combining modern performance with the appeal of classic Detroit muscle, this Pro-Touring 1970 Charger’s professional restoration began with a rust-free Charger R/T body that was carefully acid-dipped and E-coated before multiple coats of PPG Grigio Pearl Metallic were applied under blacked-out trim, a black hood treatment and a black bumblebee stripe. The cockpit was adorned with a leather interior installed around hand-stitched bucket seats and features modern air conditioning, Dynamat insulation, modern AutoMeter telemetry, MP3-capable Pioneer CD player, aftermarket Tuff Wheel and rowing the billet shifter. This custom is powered by a 500ci Indy Cylinder Head Wedge V8 engine. Highlights of the application-specific mill include Indy heads, electronic ignition, a 4340 crank, Eagle H-beam rods, a COMP hydraulic cam, Speed Pro hypereutectic pistons and a 750cfm Demon carburetor. Power delivery is handled by a Keisler-modified TREMEC TKO500 5-speed manual transmission, which utilizes a hydraulic clutch to power a Moser Dana 60 axle that’s equipped with 3.54 gears. Handling characteristics are provided by AFCO double-adjustable coilovers joined by a Reilly MotorSports front clip with a modified Detroit Speed rear suspension. Modern power steering and Wilwood disc brakes take full advantage of the grip provided by the Nitto NT555 Extreme ZR tires wrapped around Fikse wheels.
