Some inspiration for the pro touring guys.

1970 Dodge Charger powered by a Mercury Racing 9.0 liter twin turbo marine V8.

As much as I love Japanese builds, the US is still king of the hill for custom builds.

What an insane machine. And I agree with you 110 % about this country still being THE KING OF THE HILL.  Always and forever. Thanks for sharing this one.      Jeff

Definitely a crazy build - I mean where do you get the idea for a 9 Liter/ 1800hp marine engine??  And the outside and inside are totally sleek. That is one thing I like about the pro-tour philosophy. Take some of the great designs and insert some of today's best technology and Detroit gave us some great designs to work with in the late 60's/early 70's.

About the only thing I dont like is the exposed headlights. I much prefer the clean look of the hidden headlights in a charger.

Other wise WOW, thats one baddass machine

Nice look that still keeps to the original lines of a 1970 Charger. Love the interior design

I expect the idea came from Mercury racing themselves. As I under stand it this car was on display in their booth  at SEMA along with a rear engined prototype looking car featuring the same engine. Part of a push to market it to high end custom builders.
