Full Build: Molding a classic 1969 Charger into the Perfect Hellcat

Video Description

Our 1969 Dodge Charger plus a Hellcat swap equals a near perfect Mopar. Detroit Muscle goes hunting for a Mopar in the hopes of turning it from an Alabama backyard bucket into a showroom showstopper. To transform this build into the perfect Mopar, we started with its looks. After 48 years, some of the body panels needed some serious repairs and replacement. Once the body was back in shape, the Charger received a Midnight Black makeover coupled with a standout Bloodred interior. To match its good looks, we dropped a 707 horsepower Hellcat Engine and a 6-speed manual transmission for some tire shredding performance. Paired with upgraded suspension and brakes, this Mopar was ready for any street or showroom. The finished build came out so well we decided to take it to auction, and you won’t believe how much it sold for. Since then, the Hard Charger has become one of PowerNation’s most iconic builds to date, and we are pumped to finally show off the full build to you all.
