I found this 1970 charger, it’s been there sitting for years! Found the nice owner! Bought the car and started building it. Nothing special just a fun beater car. It could of been restored but I wanted to build it on a newer car
Took 3 months on and off after work

Nice job 👍 Wish it wasn’t a “off brand”, I like mods but think it should have stayed all Mopar just because it a Charger ! Still good it’s didn’t get crushed !👍👍

Say what you want about the old leaf springs and torsion bar suspension but don't forget the General Lee making all those jumps on Dukes of Hazzard! Try that with a HELL CAT Charger or Challenger

As a Ford guy who drives a Dodge magnum RT, I have to say... I Love IT! Pretty much a foxbody mustang! And u can coyote swap it for around 4500. I don't think you'll be able to fit a HEMI in there

It must be a lot of fun to drive it! I'm sure it rides and handles a hell of a lot better than the leaf spring / torsion bar suspension it originally had in it!

That’s awesome. I did notice that that the cyclone wheels set out to far and I know why I own a 99 crown Vic and I own an 06 if u put the 99 wheels on the 06 they set out a ways. They had a deeper dish wheel on the 98 and 99 model crown Vic’s either way I love it. And I wanna use my 06 cause it has a 3.55 posi trac rearend and lower miles..

Most likely a Charger, as long as the vin is in the body and that being the likeness of the vehicle seems like the most logical choice, projects like this where the vin is missing or completely custom or one off builds will require a VIN assigned to them, that is as long as all the paperwork is in order, laws vary depending on your location.

@@robs1052 Im thinking crown vic plated,to have a charger that was dead like this one was, would have been off the road for some time,meaning it would need to be inspected to get it plated for the road,and with vic platform it would never pass our inspections,so my guess is its plated as a crown vic because the crown vic looks like it was a driver before the project and would have been plated for the road.

Over 400 Chargers were destroyed in the stunts for Dukes of Hazzard the good news the fury police cars which were not only hideous designs were not well made many were rejected as not fit for duty by police departments when new. That was good news for the Chevy Caprice and Ford Crown Victoria as they were much better suited to the durability needed for round the clock non stop use.

One huge advantage that Mopar had was that manufacturer was alone in offering a true police pursuit car in the Calif market, with the 440 Magnum from ca 1972-73 up till 1978. Ford and GM both; had nothing in that state after the ca same 1972 era; no 460 PI, the Chevrolet 454 went away after 1974, etc

@@piercehawke8021 My Motorhome , A 76 Winnebago Brave had the 440 and it was great, I made a wrong turn in Orlando FL. during a Hurricane and sank into a sand trap. I was pleasantly surprised that when I put in reverse the Tandem wheels and that 440 lifted me back out without any trouble Green Shag carpet and all !

I don't think that's right. The 1st gen had a wheel base of 114.4 , 2nd gen had wheelbase of 114.7. That's a 2nd gen he used. A town car has a wheelbase of 117.7, compared to the Charger's 117.0. Seems like it would be better to use the Town Car.

Very cool. But me being me. Wheel length not over all wheel base. But rear tire left to rear tire right. I can tell it’s a bigger measurement on a crown Vic. Then a charger. To me that kills it’s. Should find a way. To overcome that. Visually. It’s noticeable. Not for the average person but a general Lee. 68-70 charger person
