This 1967 Dodge Charger was not built for a dealer lot — it was assembled for Dodge’s stand at the International Auto Show, loaded with options and powered by the 426 Hemi most buyers could only special-order and hope for. Now preserved in The Brothers Collection, the car still carries its factory show-car details, right down to a four-bucket-seat interior fans call one of Chrysler’s best. Watch to see what almost sixty years of careful preservation looks like up close.
Barely more than a hundred buyers ordered a 426 Hemi in their 1967 Dodge Charger, which is exactly why Dodge occasionally sent one to the auto show circuit instead of a customer. The Street Hemi was rated at 425 horsepower and cost roughly a quarter of the car’s base price on its own. Add the Charger’s own weak sales that year and the survivors become genuinely scarce. Read on to find out what made this combination so hard to sell.
Built specifically to represent Chrysler at the 1967 International Auto Show, this 426 Hemi-powered Dodge Charger comes from The Brothers Collection with a rear wing, hidden headlights, and a load of options that still spark debate among Mopar loyalists decades later. It’s a genuine factory showpiece, not just another restored survivor. Watch to see what made this Charger good enough to represent an entire brand.
Rory Carroll edits Autoweek from Detroit, but his own car story starts in the orchards of northern Michigan and runs straight through a welded-shut door at the 24 Hours of Lemons. In this conversation with host Pat Caporuscio, Carroll traces his path from a cherry-country childhood to one of the industry’s most recognized editorial chairs, and explains why an editor who still races tells a different kind of story. Read on to find out what shaped his eye for the muscle car world.
