Historical

The Dodge Charger is a car from the American brand Dodge. Rival of the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, Plymouth Road Runner and other muscle cars, it is now considered a classic automobile and a benchmark in terms of performance. The '69 Dodge Charger is an update of the '68 model on the same wheelbase base and some tweaks like a center splitter in the grille and a new rear fascia with horizontal lights. The model had a very strong sporting career with the DAYTONA 500 version winning more than 18 NASCAR races, with aerodynamic modifications such as the plunging nose and a tail with a rear spoiler. The Super Bird of Plymouth will come to support the Charger for the Chrysler group in 1970 to compete with the FORD, which was the brand to beat in NASCAR. Today, these are legendary cars that have a huge place in an American collection.

Our opinion

Buying a Charger, importing it from the US, a real headache with the added risk of receiving a vehicle in poor condition, which absolutely does not correspond to the description given to you.... And so in the end a restoration to be planned which is a financial pitfall if the mechanics and the bodywork have to be redone, we know knowingly.... restore an exclusive American vehicle, little known on our territory, taking care to preserve its authenticity, which has not been tampered with, is a real challenge!!
