Challengerunner... You Knew It Was Just a Matter of Time!

[Bruzilla]

I posted these pictures of a Challengerunner that was at the Jacksonville Automotive Muscle (JAM) show in Yulee, FL last weekend on the shows forum, but here are some pics of just that car. I knew someone would end up doing this someday, but I always thought they would use a Charger.

Sorry but that is just wrong. Like the strips but lose the birds.

You need a Plymouth to call something a Road Runner. I'm with MarkS.

well they screwed up the charger with 4 doors.....and the new dart stinks......and guys/gals are putting those pig ugly 16/17/18 inch wheels on old cars......so where is the line drawn ?

I like the idea but the execution is pretty bad in my opinion. All they did was add a few graphics to the car and bam it's a roadrunner. I'm not sure what company does it but I like the kits they sell that make Camaros into Trans Ams. In my opinion it would be pretty cool if someone tried that on a new Challenger.

As for the new Chargers, I agree it's disappointing that they have 4 doors but I had one about 5 years ago (Black R/T) and loved it. Whenever I'd floor it I forgot immediately about the doors. No matter what Dodge (or any other manufacturer) does, they'll never satisfy everyone when they bring the old school muscle back. For me, I love the fact that they are bringing some of the old school styling back when everyone else is focused on building cars that hum and look like pods.

Car is nice, but it ain't no Roadrunner.

That's what I thought until I saw the plans for the Dodge Barracuda.

i could slap stickers on a truck that say daytona,but that sure as hell dont make it one!

 

[snakeyes]

I've seen a few of those here running around ,and a few on ebay with the wings for sale.:icon_thumbdown:

 

[pabster]

Wait a minute. My plan to make a wing out of plaster and nail it to the trunk of my '74 won't make it a Daytona? What the hell?

Challenger with badging

There is a company that make a few that look like 71-74's kind of with the Challenger platform, they could do a different grill, maybe a go wing & special RR style bulge hood to make it look a little closer to the Road Runners.... but if it aint a Plymouth it ain't a Real Road Runner... I think maybe it was the Petty Garage was doing a Road Runner type Challenger too... Here are a few of the Challenger kits & a couple of concepts

The cuda looks decent

Yea I like the Yellow Cuda Concept too... It's the best of the ones I've seen so far...

 

[moparstuart]

More RR concepts

I found a couple more... on the Challenger Platform... A couple from Richard Petty Motorsports/Garge & a couple more old 2011 Roadrunner concepts in Yellow & Black too...
