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.
Most people who can identify a 1969 Dodge Charger on sight have never seen one in person. They know it from a television show that turned an orange, door-welded stunt car into one of the most recognizable vehicles in American culture, and that fame ended up burying what Dodge actually built. Underneath the paint sat a genuinely serious platform with a real racing record that predated Hollywood by a decade.
A budget build project just put a rough, 383-powered 1971 Dodge Charger back in the spotlight, and third-generation fans say it’s about time. Dodge rebuilt the Charger from the ground up that year, yet the car still lives in the shadow of the 1968-70 version. Here’s why builders are starting to see it differently.
A triple-turbo Mustang nicknamed “Vicious,” Johan Eriksson’s Viper V10-swapped Dodge Charger, and a roughly 3,000-horsepower build called “Doughboy” headline this roundup of extreme muscle car builds that abandon every factory limit entirely. Commenters loved the raw engineering but split hard over one car’s wheel choice. See which build the comments ultimately crowned the most jaw-dropping of the three.
Richard Boehl has owned his 1971 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Six Pack — part of a production run of just 178 cars — since 1986, and he’s collected plenty of speeding tickets along the way. Filmed at Carlisle Events for My Car Story with Lou Costabile, this Concours-caliber Charger runs a triple-carburetor big block that sounds nothing like a standard four-barrel setup. Watch to hear it, and hear Boehl’s stories, for yourself.
Ford’s Mustang Dark Horse carries a naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 into a segment everyone else has turbocharged or walked away from. A well-known YouTube reviewer lined it up against Dodge’s radically different new Charger and picked a winner. Here’s the case for the V8, spec for spec, against 550 horsepower of twin-turbo inline-six.
A 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona built to chase a 200-mph NASCAR dream has sat in a private collection without ever being titled or plated — not once in over 50 years. Only 503 of these winged Mopars were built before NASCAR rewrote the rulebook to stop them. Here’s the story behind one of the rarest muscle cars in America.
A rough 1968 Dodge Charger project has become one of YouTube’s most talked-about Hellcat swaps, racking up over a million views. Under the hood sits the same supercharged 707-horsepower engine that powers Dodge’s modern factory Hellcat models. Commenters are still arguing over whether the grille is really from 1968 or borrowed from 1969.
