One of the original muscle cars from back in the day is the Dodge Charger. Known most famously for being the "General Lee" from the Dukes of Hazzard, it has always had a huge following.
Of course you'll find plenty of them in that iconic orange paint and the "01" on the doors but we think we've found the ultimate Charger.
Sporting a white paint job and an orange interior, this car just looks "boss."
Here's the kicker though: If you read into this specific vehicle's story, it was actually bought in Texas, shipped to the UK where it was extensively restored and given a second lease on life.
Originally bought from Austen, Texas in 2005 and imported into the UK. It comes with a full V5C registration document and a correctly, albeit non-original to this car, date coded 1970 HP2 six pack block. The motor itself is a 440 cubic inch (7.2ltr) six pack (triple two-barrel carburettors) mated to a Torqueflite 727 3-speed automatic gearbox with floor change and centre console change.
It was subject to a lengthy restoration in 2008/2009 by JPC of Cranleigh where the body was stripped and acid dipped. The shell, doors, wings, bonnet and boot lid were electro-plated for corrosion prevention with the various stages of the process fully photographically documented. The car was then painted with the original Chrysler formula EW1 Alpine White and the underneath of the car coated with two-pack stone chip resistant paint. The restoration was completed in late Spring 2009 and the car was debuted at the 2009 Mopars at The Brooklands Show where it won the Top 5 Prize. In July 2009, it went on to win the coveted Winged Warriors Trophy at the Mopar EuroNats event. It was also the main car featured within the March 2010 edition of Classic American Magazine and was indeed featured as the main car on the front cover. Could this be the best Charger in the country?
