Ready for some old school Detroit muscle that can be driven without fear? Take a look at this Bright Blue Dodge! BODYWORK/TRIM Purchased by its first family for use as a fun daily driver, this sweet White Hat Special was driven regularly by a father and son duo for the first decade of its existence. However, as gas prices began to creep north, both father and son sourced more efficient drivers, relegating the Charger to a fun weekend car. That's about the time the coupe's stock 383 was exchanged for a fresh 440. Unfortunately, that's also when the car had a bad encounter with a Maryland fence post. With neither a quick nor quality fix, the Dodge was wrapped in tarps and parked on a remote section of the family's land. And 15 years later, circa 1994, the father, now retired, decided it might be a fun project to occupy his time. That's when the car was pulled out of the weeds and subjected to a professional, high quality restoration. During that reboot, its embattled body was carefully stripped, married to new floors and fitted with an NOS fender. Once that massaged metal was correctly aligned, tough PPG sealer was laid under, correct B5 Blue and fresh White vinyl. And the result is one straight, fully detailed pavement pounder that's won both Best of Class and Best in Show at the MoPar East Coast Nationals. ENGINE Lift the long hood and you'll find a 440 cubic inch RB V8 that was professionally rebuilt during the car's extensive restoration. More popular than Chrysler's famed Hemi, Dodge's stalwart 440 Magnum was designed to be the industry's best combination of comfort, streetability and big block performance. Oxygen whips through a polished and decaled air cleaner in to a Holley 650 4-barrel, which is sequenced to a small Summit pressure gauge and a series of polished and braided fuel lines. In front of that carb, MoPar Performance electronic ignition sequences spark through Chrysler Electronic Suppression cables. That spark pushes forged TRW 10:1 flat-tops, which travel a .030 overbore with the help of chrome molybdenum rings. At the sides of the block, mirrored valve covers perfectly contrast restored exhaust manifolds. And cooling is supplied by a big Chrysler radiator, which rides in front of requisite power steering and components for factory air conditioning. DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION Behind the thumpin' RB, an original, rebuilt A833 4-speed twists power to a familiar axle that's fitted with friendly, gears. Below that proven drivetrain, a lucid front torsion bar and rear leaf suspension has been completely rebuilt to include correct drum brakes. Turns come courtesy of factory power steering. Exhaust is handled by free-flowing, pipes, which jettison cooked dinosaurs through an H-shaped crossover and welded, dual-chamber mufflers. And power meets the pavement through old school Cragar wheels, which spin 225/70R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/As in front of 275/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/As. INTERIOR When you open this Charger's solid doors, you'll find a cockpit where Legendary vinyl seats meld seamlessly with a stylish, no-nonsense driving environment. At the bottom of those seats, a wood-trimmed console traces a tall Hurst shifter. And in front of the driver, a faux wood steering wheel laps a 2-tone dash that's finished with controls for factory air conditioning and rebuilt, original telemetry. Numbers-matching cars are great, but classics like this Hemmings-featured Charger are what make the collector car hobby so much fun.
