1,000hp 1968 Charger 426ci Hellephant HEMI V8 Bowler 6-Spd Chassis Upgrades ///
Built around one of Mopar's most formidable crate engines, this 1968 Dodge Charger underwent a two-year custom transformation to become "Dumbo," a Hellephant-powered restomod with classic muscle-car presence. Custom gray paint inspired by Destroyer Gray pairs with a painted black rear stripe and blue Hellephant graphics. Shaved drip rails, flush-mounted rear glass, tucked body-matched bumpers and blacked-out trim smooth the familiar profile, complemented by Ringbrothers billet handles, LED lighting and electric headlight doors. Rushforth wheels measure 19" up front and 20" at the rear, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. Under the hood, the all-aluminum, supercharged 426ci Hellephant HEMI is engine number 50 of 100, factory-rated at 1,000 hp and 950 lb-ft of torque. A Bowler Stage II T56 Magnum 6-speed manual sends power to a Strange S60 rear axle with 4.10 gears and a limited-slip differential, while stainless longtube headers and Borla mufflers provide the soundtrack. Magnum Force front suspension, a four-link rear, adjustable Viking coilovers and subframe connectors are joined by rack-and-pinion steering and hydroboost-assisted Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes with Daytona Blue calipers. Inside, factory seats upholstered in supple gray Italian leather accompany a custom console, pistol-grip shifter, Dakota Digital instruments, a Flaming River steering wheel, push-button ignition and modern air conditioning. Combining a rare Hellephant engine with manual-transmission involvement and extensive chassis upgrades, Dumbo delivers a distinctive take on the classic HEMI-powered Charger.
