The Top 20 Cars For A Budget Restomod

August 26, 2017

Dodge Charger

Oh yes.

The Dodge Charger is often thought of as one of the absolute pinnacles of muscle car design. Whether you saw it in The Dukes of Hazzard or tearing ass down the street, the first impression was always one of power and strength. For a restomodder, this popularity has a massive benefit: parts are easy to come by, whether its mechanical parts or body panels you need. Chances are the part you’ll need will still be in production somewhere. The Charger’s production runs were pretty big too, so you won’t have any trouble finding them, nor should you expect to spend a huge amount on one. Of course, the amount you’ll have to spend does vary depending on engine size: a 440ci in average condition should be worth a decent chunk of change more than the 225. If it apparently isn’t, then that should set off category 5 alarm bells.

Restoring a Charger to pristine form won’t be too hard, thanks to the aforementioned parts availability, and the value of mint Chargers is expected to stay high for a long time to come, as no one seems to be falling out love with this iconic machine.
