1971 Dodge Charger R/T 616" Hemi Tribute Car

The 'Charger' is a general name for various models produced and marketed by Dodge, a division of Chrysler, over the years. The first Charger was a show car in 1964, however, there have been several different production Chargers, built on three different platforms with different engine sizes. The one thing in common is that they have all been 'performance focussed. The third generation 'Charger' was introduced in 1971 and Chrysler's B-platform was modified to meet new emissions and safety regulations. Cosmetic changes included a split grille, fastback-style rear window, and a ducktail spoiler.

Offered here is a '71 Charger RT 616" Hemi Tribute Car finished in a mean shade of Black with a Black interior, and specially restored for the SEMA Car Show is Las Vegas in 2007 when the new Dodge Charger R/T was launched. With many parts supplied by Mopar specialists, Mancini Racing, the previous owner to our vendor, who worked at Chrysler himself, spent approximately 6 years getting the car into its current form.

The engine specification is as follows:

Mopar performance steel block

Indy aluminium cylinder heads

Ross pistons

Holley dominator carburettors

Mopar electronic ignition.

Flowmaster exhaust

Detriot Truetrac differential

This Charger rolls on custom-fit 'Foose' wheels with 245/40 R18 rims 8x18" on the front and 335/ 30r20. rims 13x20" on the rear. The car also has a Rockford Fosgate audio system with Bluetooth capabilities. Contained within the history file are pictures taken during the build process, showing that this was a 'show build' and real care was taken to ensure everything was completed to original specification.

Rarely do Hemi-powered Chargers come to auction, and with this example now in great shape, it is poised for the next chapter of its life. Gentlemen, start your engines!
