1971 Dodge Challenger
This vehicle retains its unibody construction, and has been equipped with a chassis upgrades by Modern Muscle. They call a vehicle built this way a "Muscle Car." The chassis features a Modern Muscle independent front suspension that includes upper and lower control arms and power rack and pinion steering up front. In the rear, it features a four link suspension with coil overs.
The result is superlative ride and handling. Big SSBC disc brakes and Modern Muscle signature forged wheels are yet further examples of how this Challenger features 21st century upgrades. Add a new 6.1 HEMI engine with electronic stack injection, a 5 speed Tremec transmission and the result is the best of both worlds; Classic vintage Mopar inside and out, with a thoroughly modern driveline and supsension system.
