The Appeal
Offering mean looks, potent drivetrains and plenty of space, the Charger has always been something of a heady mix of abilities. By the time this third generation rolled around, Dodge had really hit their stride with the car and offered a wide range of drivetrains and options, so there really was a Charger for everyone.
This handsome two-door example has been refinished in a distinctive green and black colour scheme and is fitted with the desirable 6.3-litre V8. So it should be just as impactful aurally as it is aesthetically. Imported from the US and ready to go, this Charger would be a great way to make an entrance at next year's shows.

- Five-spoke, split-rim alloy wheels are finished in silver and look to be in nice condition
- In general, the bodywork seems to be in fine fettle, although there is some bubbling corrosion showing on the tailgate edge

The Mechanics

Summary
If you’re looking to make an impact, this mean, green V8 monster may well be the perfect way to do it. Alternatively, it would make a great base for a light restoration, returning the car to factory spec. Either way, it’s sure to provide its new owner with an awful lot of fun.
