A little Mopar magic went into this build, which features a 472ci HEMI engine, a custom console and more, all blended with the classic looks of a 1970 Dodge Challenger.
Even if you’re a vintage vehicle owner who treasures originality in a collector car, it’s becoming increasing difficult to deny the appeal and growing popularity of Resto-Mods in the hobby. Skillfully blending a trip back in time with a high-tech contemporary vehicle, today’s custom creations appeal to those who want the old-school look with modern performance and safety standards.
