1968 Dodge Charger R/T - from Fast n' Furious 4

That’s right. This is one of only 3 produced Chargers for the Fast and Furious 4. Only two of them survived shooting the film, and this is number 1. This car is actually just sold, but since it’s one of the coolest things we’ve ever owned we had to put it up here.

This is rebuilt from a 68 to a 70’ R/T.
During the filming of F&F4, the producers realized that there was no longer such a thing as a cheap 2nd-gen Charger (the gratuitous wrecking of Chargers for also-gratuitous stunts has come back to haunt Hollywood just as it has come to haunt car enthusiasts).

The drivetrain was changed for generic Chevy 350, TH400 trans, and Ford 9-inch rear to keep costs down if something broke and have plenty of parts availability. High quality fiberglass molds of ‘70 Charger body panels (It’ll be cool if those pieces saw production for the resto-mod crowd) made by Hanamann Fiberglass were used because they couldn’t find real (read: cheap) ones. Torsion bars were tweaked for max ground clearance, beefy frame connectors (3/16» wall-thick, 2x3» square tubing) skidplates, and 19-point rollcage were installed. Rear springs were relocated and wheelwells tubbed. Exterior-wise, we see it painted matte-black and a too-good black paintjob-for-a-quick-rebuild at the end scene. Mixed badging all-around (Charger, Charger 500, R/T?).
