1970 Charger

The beautiful model pictured above is a 1970 Factory 318 Charger but advertised as a Hemi Charger R/T replica. If you like what you see then it's time to get your credit card out: this car is up for auction.

Powerplant

Under the hood is a 5.7-liter V8 Mopar Hemi crate engine. This beauty pumps out 495 horsepower and sends it through an automatic transmission before it hits the 14:1 ratio gearbox.

Handling

Although this has all the style of a 1970's muscle car, thankfully it won't handle like one. The previous owner upgraded the suspension to a Hotchkis Super TVS system. This should help keep things flat while attacking some bends.

Stopping Power

With 495 horsepower on tap, not just any brake setup will do. The disc brakes on this model have been upgraded which should help bring everything to a brisk halt.

Great Condition

This model is believed to have just 48,944 miles under its belt and it shows. It comes with an all-original interior including the carpet, dash, and gauges.
