1970 Dodge Challenger Full Rebuild in Minutes!
This Mopar is in serious need of a sandblaster! Also, they'll go for a spin in one of the most famous Mopars of all time.
Detroit Muscle goes on the hunt for Project Ultra Violet...a 1970 Challenger. The team salvages a rotted out '70 Challenger and shows how-to weld in a new metal roof, drip rails, and A-pillars. Chassis guru Jeff Schwartz brings in his G-Machine chassis to convert the uni-body Challenger to a full-frame. Then, the team grafts a low deck, all-aluminum Hemi, and T56 six-speed gearbox into the '70 Challenger resto-mod.
Next, celebrity builder Chris Ryan shows how-to lay down metallic paint and graphics on the very purple Challenger and the team fabs a high flow EFI fuel system, serpentine belt drive, and dual-fan cooling system for '70 Hemi Challenger.
the video was made in 2020 but the nostalgia is still 2000s..😂❤️

I love everything on it except for the wheels. the stock wheels on this car are brilliant and compliment the overall design. Great job!
Restoration
The wheels are fkin ugly
As soon as I saw your frame upgrade, I knew it was going to be a beast. She came out sick AF!!!
Tons of $$$ spent but it'll likely never see the track to see if it's a "beast". Typical of these kinds of videos.
If I had the money, this what I'll buy, the 1970 Challenger, classic, love it.
me too 🥰
I recently watched a real life dodge challenger outrun cops and a broadcast helicopter with ease 😂 Truly impressed by this vehicle
hell yeah classic cars are the best
There only 1000 dollars
I will buy 1971 plymouth gtx, but the challenger is on another level🔥
Every scratch into metal that is then covered by a new panel is a rust spot that will come through in time. In some environments like Florida you could store it inside and it will still rust.
I've seen enough restos to know you need at least rust converter/primer for any sealed metals
Best Restoration Ever Seen! I've been really impressed by it's change... Everything seems perfect! 💯 I've been hoping for a car like this. Brilliant Work Gentlemen ❤️
I was 8 when the Challenger came out. I always had the desire to own one or a Charger. I never could decide.
Me, too! Unless you're a millionaire, most of us will never have any of these old cars. These cars were so cheap in the 80's and 90's it's unreal. I was lucky to have had a few Mopars in my youth...73 Charger 318 $1400. 73 Challenger 340 $500. 69 RR 383 $2400. 74 Gold Duster 225 $free. 69.5 Super Bee 413 $900. I wish i would have held onto at least one of those cars. sigh

They make this all look so easy but even with all those tools and space this was a huge job...I’m down how much I love it!
Absolutely beautiful. There is one thing that I have always wanted to see on a 70 to 73 Challenger, especially on a restomod like what y'all have done to yours. A custom fitted rear wing, like those on a Superbird. Custom height, you know what I mean. Anyway, Great show! Thanks Guys. 1🙂👍

These guys are doing such a great job on this car. And for me the challenger is the best of all. When I'll be rich,sure I'll contact this garage.
Dude I was thinking the same exact thing I was like once I hit the jackpot I’m definitely contacting these guys.. And I don’t even drive 😳 never had a license.

@@brodyplays7 no shit he was joking
Nice to see a project start from a rust bucket. Lately most video projects start with "We found this sweet 90% original grandma spec car and now we're going to ruin it with a buncha aftermarket parts you might not be able to find 10 or 20 years from now. Watch us build it into some ridiculous beast somebody will wreck leaving Cars and Coffee."
This car is now worth half of what they bought it for. Butchered. Again.
@@413x398 you do realize what restomod means? You dont seem to.
@@kanggoo57 You don't seem to realize that certain collectibles are worth more restored to factory condition than heavily modified. I don't need a duckface to lecture me about cars.

Is it easy to import such classics to NZ?

It would be so cool to be able to drop your car off at a shop like this with a blank check and tell them what you want, then a few months later come pick it up

Well, as long as we're dreaming. Let's drop it off and pick it back up in a week!?! :)

You fellas do amazing work
Wow!!! Sweet. Thanks for this bit of beauty work.
This is one of the best rebuild i've ever seen. How you did the rework? Was everything measured or was it created as a 3D model to fit everything properly by CNC and so on?
THIS IS THE RESTOMOD EPISODE THAT SHOULD HAVE GONE 1HR . 🌟🌟🌟😀😀😀👍🙏🇺🇸🗺
Great Work .. Amazing Machine 🔥
This is going to be useful when I'm older when I get this car
Jesus, that is a huge undertaking!
I can not even imagine, how much does it cost to rebuild this car, absolutely fantastic job, you guys are breathtaking, greetings from Kazakhstan❤️
On parts alone, they easily spent at least $35,000 USD. Very good chance it was more than that. That motor would've been $10,000 by itself, if not more lol
@@jw11432 its even more than that. the chassis is like 15k.
Мне всегда нравился додж челленджер, а особенно первые его модели. Приятно видеть с чего начиналась работа и чем она закончилась. Результат поразил. Привет из России!
The stance on that thing is awesome
Not sure who did all the welding on those repair panels but for sure they are a better grinder than a welder ...
Everything looked great until you put those pimp tires on it.
they shouldve went with black rims, black interior with a roll bar setup, wouldve been more bada$$.. so many ppl out there i noticed with bad taste and they take it out on cars.
Great job puttin this beauty back to life, should do a GTO next
Macho man! Great car! Forever classic and strong!
You all did nice work but it's really sad to cut up a real 70 R/T. Too bad you didn't start with a 318 or slant 6 car.
Q
@@troyyarbrough So I guess all those guys who restore muscle cars back to original even though they are rusted out must be magicians?
@@troyyarbrough Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I guess your opinion saying my opinion was wrong means that neither one of us are supposed to have an opinion?
I see u guys had Jeff Schwartz helping you out.. his frame was a nice addition 👌🏼
@@1967davethewave big difference between restoring to original equipment and using a skeleton with totally different EVERYTHING
I am curious to the cost? These professionals make it look so easy. Good job Powernation!
These are usually done for very wealthy clients, car collectors and such. They find and buy these broken down antiques and pay car restaurateurs an incredible amount of money. If I had to judge this one off-hand, I'd say the guys asked at least 500k for it. Probably even more - there's restorations that can cost into the millions, because parts have to be custom made or found, since they aren't manufactured anymore. It mostly depends on how the parts can be sourced and how much work has to go into the car.
500k? Idk about that.. it's more like 150k still super expensive but not 500k lol alot of the parts are reused and the biggest expense is the chassy and engine and transmission. The seats and wheels and other stuff isn't to bad to find or make. They probably spend about 30-40k on the car and around 90k on the stuff to restore it.
@@ifixcars692 tbf, I was mostly going off genuine replacement part prices, and adding up an entire car's worth. Unless all components are unuseable, you probably would go under 500k - but not by much. If the client actually demands genuine parts, costs rack up *insanely* fast - I know a guy who does these restorations, and for one of them, the client had him hunt down actual parts manufactured around the same time as the car. He ended up having to call up people who owned that same car and negotiate an exchange of a custom-made replacement for their genuine parts, in addition to a hefty lump sum and having to shoulder the work cost and insurance.
Yup! Kinda deceiving but typical. @@ifixcars692
really amazing restoration
You are the real human beings...so much love
I'd take a well-restored 70's era Challenger over a new one ANY day
@@LICobra Nice! I sure miss my '73 440 Charger. Had a big Carter 4bbl on it and the 727 TorqueFlite with the SlapStik console. Great stuff.
So if someone offered you this build let's say it's got 450hp you would take that over a demon or a hellcat red eye. No disrespect just a question
@@adamhaselup1125 Hi. I would take it over any newer version of the Challenger. There are a number of reasons why. First of all, cars from the early 70's were so much simpler. Easier to work on. No computers. Less points of failure. More room to work on the motor. No computer controlled junk, no need for a $100k diagnostic machine and no need to take to someone for help. Also, older vehicles were built to last. New ones, not so much. So much plastic. Thin body panels. Cheap components. The new ones are nice, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against them for what they are, but if the decision is old vs new I'll take old any day.
I think LICobra makes a good point to this conversation and that has to do with one's age when they are exposed to a particular car. I was just a kid when I first saw the 70's era Challengers, Cudas, and Chargers. Being exposed to a vehicle, song, movie, etc., at a young age has a profound effect on a person. There is an indelible link to that object. People who are 13 yrs old seeing a new Hellcat will bond to that late model Hellcat over the older 70's era cars simply because that's what they were exposed to. This is my theory anyways, take it with a grain of salt. :)
AMEN!
It’s a beautiful car but you can definitely tell these are not mopar guys, us mopar guys are not huge fans of resto mods, we like to keep things original, I would’ve much preferred them restore it to factory since it is a 70 R/T. But I can appreciate their hard work, awesome build guys!
Exactly. They're salesmen. Trying to sell you restomod parts.
Haha someday someone will spend $200,000 to restore it back to original, lol.
Every DODGE is EXOTIC! Built to last for century’s 🚂
There isn't enough likes to express how much I like this.
omg!! she's beautiful ❤️❤️
Who else wants to know about the BUDGETS?? i saved up basically all my life to finally get started to rebuild in 2020
If you need to ask you can’t afford it
@@DeepseaSteve Maybe thats true
Full on back to new restorations are typically $200K. Detract from that to the level you want to take it.
You guys do impeccable work

waah jan telatene pok wong barat kwi....keren mantab👍
I love your project unfortunaly in my country is no car base for project like dodge 1970 challenger :( but I still can watch your's :DD
WHY THOSE RIMS???!
That’s what I was going to say
I hate big rims. Stiffer ride (no sidewall), bend easily on rough roads and easy to blow out a tire. They do handle better, but I take a little less handling then having to buy new tires and/or rims every time I hit a pothole.
@@CamaroAmx i thought those were the shocks?
@@Maximus20778 thinner sidewalls means less flex in the tire which can cause a harsh ride. The tires, springs, and shocks all contribute to the ride quality.
Those rims ain't it
First thought exactly, everything was good except being stingy with the sound dampening and those wheels. 🤢🤮
yeah. Rims like that don't belong on any classic muscle car
@@abstract0014 not like the original wheels would fit on there. The car is wearing a big brake rotor kit, so the stock wheels won’t clear the brakes. Cars that have large brakes over stock with the power to back it up need bigger wheels and thinner wider tires to perform better than stock. At least it doesn’t have Cragars or some other played out small tire and wheel setup on there that everyone and their momma has on their ride
