Classic Challenger Looks Meet Hellcat Engine In This Amazing Restomod

The Mopar Hellcat engine is a thing of beauty. Capable of producing hellacious horsepower, the 6.2 liter engine was recently made available as a crate engine, complete with warranty. Now, doesn’t this make things easier for restomodders? While the engine has been available in modern Dodge Challengers for some time, until now it’s been a case of visiting a scrapyard if you wanted to put one in a classic. No more! Some wonderful human beings have noticed and made this screaming demon of a 1970 Dodge Challenger.

Featuring a blacked out Be Cool radiator, this dark destroyer, called the Super Cat, has been perfectly restored and modified. The exterior features new headlights, a Challenger T/A style hood scoop, and a small rear spoiler. Inside, you’ll find a tan leather interior complete with notable nods to modernity, including what appears to be a touchscreen console, in front of the pistol grip shifter. Said shifter is linked up to a Tremec six-speed transmission, which should make the most of the Hellcat. Marshalled by Wilwood disc brakes on all four wheels, this is one hell of a machine. Underneath the body, there’s the restomod favorite that is coilover suspension.

Interested? I’m sure you are, and if you have the liquid assets to accompany that interest, get yourself to Indianapolis! This car will be auctioned off at the Mecum auction at the Indiana State Fairgrounds on May 19.
