Details

This is Serial #001 in the new series of Mr. Norm’s continuation vehicles, a 1971 Challenger Resto-Mod Series convertible. The new owner’s name will be added to the Original Mr. Norm’s Grand Spalding Registry. This Challenger was built using parts from other Challengers, using the best of today’s technology, merged with the classic styling of the 1971 Dodge Challenger. No detail has been left undone in its design and construction. Well over 2,500 hours went into this the build. Powering the

Challenger is a new Hellcat 707hp 6.2-liter HEMI V8 engine. To ensure maximum performance coupled with reliability, a Mopar Performance computer and wiring system were used. All Mopar Performance accessory drive parts were used on the front of the HEMI engine. This potent powerhouse breathes easily thanks to TTI headers and exhaust, and is backed up by a Tremec 5-speed manual transmission. To maximize handling, it utilizes a Detroit Speed and Engineering Aluma frame front suspension and was engineered to fit and perform in this Challenger. The Aluma frame bolts in and out of the car, and features all DSE parts with single adjustable coilovers and a power rack & pinion steering unit. The rear suspension is a Gerst 4-link setup. It rides on 18” and 20” Rocket Racing wheels with new tires.

Accenting the Plum Crazy paint are custom Hellcat sabretooth tiger graphics that have been professionally airbrushed. Modern base coat/clear coat paint that was color sanded and buffed to a mirror finish.
