A radically reimagined 1970 Dodge Charger<\/a> is scheduled to cross the auction block<\/a> at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction, offering a no-reserve opportunity on a build that leaves traditional restomod conventions behind. Designed with modern motorsports influence rather than period correctness, the Charger blends contemporary NASCAR-derived engineering with show-level craftsmanship.<\/p>\n

At the center of the build is a genuine R5P7 NASCAR-spec V8, an engine architecture developed for sustained high-rpm operation and long-term durability. The naturally aspirated powerplant is equipped with a Borla Performance eight-stack induction system and Holley multi-port electronic fuel injection, producing a reported 730 horsepower. Rather than relying on forced induction, the engine emphasizes airflow efficiency and precision fueling drawn directly from modern stock car racing practices.<\/p>\n

Power delivery is handled by a Tremec five-speed dog-box manual transmission, reinforcing the car\u2019s mechanical, driver-focused character. A Dana 60 rear axle with 4.56 gearing and a limited-slip differential completes the drivetrain, underscoring the Charger\u2019s performance-first priorities.<\/p>\n

The structure beneath the body is equally serious. A fully custom tube chassis replaces factory architecture, supporting Ridetech StrongArms up front and a parallel four-link rear suspension. Auto-leveling Shockwaves at all four corners balance ride quality and handling capability. Wilwood Aero braking components provide stopping power, with six-piston calipers up front and four-piston units at the rear.<\/p>\n

Visually, the Charger departs dramatically from stock form while preserving its unmistakable identity. Finished in Voodoo Violet Candy paint, the body features a three-inch roof chop and a three-inch body section for a lowered, more aggressive stance. Custom wheel tubs, a smoothed firewall, a reworked engine bay, and reshaped quarter-panels flowing into the decklid highlight the depth of fabrication involved. The car rides on 19-inch Lightspeed Racing wheels wrapped in 13-inch-wide Toyo Proxes tires.<\/p>\n

Inside, race-inspired function meets modern comfort. A custom dashboard houses a Holley digital gauge cluster supplemented by AutoMeter gauges. Sparco racing seats with four-point harnesses, an eight-point roll cage, and a Bowler Nightstick shifter reinforce the Charger\u2019s competition roots. At the same time, Restomod Air climate control, power windows, and a Bluetooth-enabled audio system make it usable beyond the track.<\/p>\n

Scheduled to sell between January 17 and 25, 2026, the Charger stands as a showcase of what happens when modern NASCAR engineering meets classic Mopar muscle, with no reserve and no compromises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A radically reimagined 1970 Dodge Charger is scheduled to cross the auction block at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":399216,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[168506,168508,49,48,36800,168507,634,82,10223],"class_list":{"0":"post-399215","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nascar","8":"tag-barrett-jackson-scottsdale-auction","9":"tag-borla-performance","10":"tag-ca","11":"tag-canada","12":"tag-dodge-charger","13":"tag-engine-architecture","14":"tag-nascar","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-stock-car-racing"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399215","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399215"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399215\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/399216"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399215"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=399215"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=399215"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
