Widebody SEMA-built 1970 Charger restomod with Hellcat HEMI, 8-speed auto, and custom Challenger interior now up for grabs.
A wild 1970 Dodge Charger restomod, originally built for SEMA, is now up for auction on Bring a Trailer, offering a jaw-dropping blend of classic Mopar muscle and modern performance tech. With a Hellcat supercharged V8, a flared widebody, and a custom interior straight from a modern Dodge Challenger, this Charger represents the cutting edge of the restomod scene.
For those who find factory specs too tame, this build pulls no punches. Under the hood lies a 6.2-liter Hellcat HEMI V8, mated to an 8-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission, bringing modern muscle to a timeless icon. The car is equipped with a four-link rear suspension, air bag setup, and Wilwood disc brakes, ensuring it stops and handles as aggressively as it looks.
The custom bodywork makes a dramatic statement. The fenders have been widened by five inches, creating a flared, aggressive stance without losing the classic second-gen Charger's iconic fastback profile. It's a bold redesign that respects the original while pushing boundaries—a signature trait of any true SEMA build.
Inside, the transformation continues with a full modern Challenger interior transplant. A custom console, high-back seats, Challenger steering wheel, and a digital gauge cluster are integrated into the cabin, along with Kenwood audio and a touchscreen infotainment system. The blend of analog muscle with digital luxury makes the cockpit as compelling as the engine bay.
Despite all the upgrades, some original hardware remains—most notably the stock front suspension and steering and an 8.75-inch rear differential. These components may need further upgrading for those looking to take full advantage of the car’s newfound capabilities on the track.
Still, for the street or the show, this Charger is a head-turning, Hellcat-powered masterpiece—a restomod built for today’s roads with yesterday’s soul.
