Details: Since 2008 Joseph Carroll from Best of Show Automotive and later RK Motors and Dave Salvaggio from Salvaggio Design have collaborated to produce some of the finest Dodge Charger Pro Touring machines on the planet. From the Indy Cylinder Head 440 powered 1969 Dodge Charger 500 Maximum Effect which was featured at the 2010 Mopar Nationals and quickly sold for $180000.00 to the 426 HEMI powered 1970 Dodge Charger R/T which sold for $185000.00 at the RK Motors Collector Car Auctions May 2013 Pinehurst sale their Pro Touring Chargers have consistently hit the mark. Combining the best of classic styling combined with old school muscle and modern upgraded components their collaborative builds have set the benchmark for beautiful yet functional pro touring machines. Which brings us to their latest and final build: this incredible 1970 Dodge Charger R/T Pro Touring car.

The vision for this Charger R/T was established by experience earned from their prior builds taking the best of each and rolling them up into an a new design the focus of which was to preserve the raw muscle car appeal of the classic 1968-1970 Dodge Charger body style while allowing for maximum performance and reliability.

Starting with a well-worn yet dry and rust free Arizona 1970 Dodge Charger R/T as the foundation for the project OEM sheet-metal is present from back to back. The body shell doors fenders hood andamp; deck-lid were subjected to a comprehensive acid dip and e-coating process the very best process for creating a straight body that will stand the test of time and road miles. With a fresh canvas. every inch was carefully massaged before multiple coats of PPG Grigio Pearl Metallic were sprayed on every body panel. . For the hood black-out treatment and bumblebee stripes black was selected. The combination was then buried in clearcoat and buffed to near perfection. The final finish is beyond reproach offering mirror-like reflections from all angles. The paintwork is matched by even gaps around the hood doors and deck lid. While assembly line cars of the 1970s werent known for their fit and finish our team made sure to leave those imperfections in the past. Finishing off the iconic 1970 Dodge Charger body is carefully restored chrome stainless steel and anodized aluminum done to perfection.

Inside the Charger a stunning black leather interior was carefully installed. Though it has a custom feel the design can largely be accredited to the Chrysler Corporation. The classic 1970 Dodge Charger R/T bucket seat interior is a timeless design-why mess with perfection? The restoration began with new high-grade black carpet set covering Dyna-mat which mitigates road noise and exhaust heat. and a factory wood-grain center console. Steve Pearson Upholstery Unlimited supplied the hand-stitched vented leather front and rear seats complete with white piping. Firm and supportive these seats could easily pass for pieces borrowed from a late model sports car. At either side new black door panels are highlighted by round Charger R/T logos and new hardware all around. The view from the driver seat is the stuff of muscle car dreams with a wood-finished steering wheel and pistol-grip shifter granting control over the car. Beyond the wheel the restored dash shows off a 150 mph speedometer sits next to a tachometer with an integrated clock. Smaller gauges monitor other HEMI vitals including fuel level temperature oil pressure and alternator output. To the right controls for the updated HVAC system are placed within reach directly above the Pioneer AM/FM/CD/DVD with Ipod hook-up head unit which sends signal to new Pioneer speakers. An Ipod cable is smartly routed through the center console for easy and secure hook-up. Linking the restored interior interior to the refinished exterior is a complete new set of glass.

Behind the rear seat the trunk is finished to the same high standards as the rest of the car. New black carpet sits beneath an Optima red top
