Oldย Meets New
This awe-inspiring 1967 Dodge Charger may retain its iconic original features, but its body, chassis, and suspension have undergone a remarkable reimagination. The skilled restorers entrusted with this project boast an impressive track record, dating back to the early 1990s when their 1937 Ford turned heads at the 1993 NSRA Street Rod Nationals, capturing the esteemed Pro’s Pick award and gracing the pages of renowned magazines. Their expertise shines through in the flawless restoration of this Charger, showcasing their meticulous craftsmanship and unwavering attention to detail.

While its distinctive body lines remain unchanged, they become truly apparent upon closer examination. Notably, both the front and rear bumpers have been narrowed and seamlessly integrated, creating a visually stunning effect. The front bumper has also been enhanced with purposeful openings, allowing for efficient airflow to the transmission and power-steering coolers. Additionally, the rear bumper has been further enhanced with horizontal openings, thoughtfully designed to accommodate the presence of dual exhaust-outlet tips. These meticulous modifications add a touch of sophistication and functional appeal to this Charger, showcasing the team’s attention to detail and commitment to both aesthetics and performance.
This 1967 Dodge Charger has a lot going on under the hood and boasts greatly enhanced power and performance courtesy of an installation of a Ray Barton-built 528 CI Hemi V-8 engine built up from a Mopar Performance iron block, with cylinders bored out to 4.5 inches and stuffed with a Barton forged crank with 4.15-inch stroke, billet steel rods, JE 10:1 pistons and a Barton hydraulic roller cam. All the enhancements which have been carried come together to deliver 651 HP with 618 lb-ft of stump-pulling torque which is mighty impressive stuff.
