Almost every excellent film, featuring chases, the roar of engines and burnt rubber, attracts not only fantastic productions and grandiose special effects, but also breathtaking muscle cars released in the USA in 64-73. 20th century.
A common characteristic of these predatory cars is a powerful eight-cylinder engine of incredible volume for that time. One of such amazing cars is the 1970 Dodge Charger. It was he who in all his glory flashed on the screens of such excellent old films as “The Dukes of Hazzard”, “Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry”, “Detective Bullitt”. Yes, and modern directors, such as Quentin Tarantino, prefer this aggressive handsome man, making him the main character of his films. Such an example is the film "Death Proof." It is worth noting the gentle friendship of the 1970 Dodge Charger with Vin Diesel, as evidenced by the movie "Fast and the Furious", and in "Fast and the Furious 4" this unit was replaced with a similar model, but only a year younger. And, of course, Nicholas Cage with the crazy ride two years ago.
Having been born in 1966, this Dodge car was liked by lovers of medium-sized cars with a large engine capacity. It was then that the US population was weary of the desire to have a super-fast powerful machine for a small amount of money. In this case, a strict rule was taken into account: 1 hp should have been no more than 6 kg of vehicle weight. The Dodge was equipped with eight-cylinder engines, which differed in volume: from 5.2 liters to 7.0 liters. In this case, the carburetor chambers could be either two or four. The seven - liter V8 426 engine had two carburetors.
For 6 years, the lineup has undergone some changes and the new 1970 Dodge Charger was different from the previous generation. So, the interior design of the car was slightly changed. The backs of the seats became slightly higher, and the door panels slightly changed shape. Outside, a wide chrome front bumper was fitted, and the radiator grille, in contrast to the 69 g model, no longer contained a transverse partition.
In modifications such as Charger 500 and Charger R / T, the taillights have been modified . This year was marked by the triumph of the 1970 Dodge Charger: even in spite of the healthy competition from its “brothers” in the workshop, such as Plymouth Superbird, Dodge Challenger and Charger Dayton, this powerful ultra-fast device brought 10 victories at NASCAR to its manufacturers. In fact, equipped with the new 440 6-Pack engine, with three dual-chamber carburetors and a power of 390 hp, this aggressive car was worthy of receiving such a number of awards.
Of course, you should pay tribute to the manufacturers of the Dodge Charger in 1970, and for all generations of this model: despite the fact that after the 70s. The 20th century, the demand for this ultra-high-speed vehicle was asleep, the car did not become worse or deteriorated. By no means, rare models released by the concern in the 60s can easily compete with powerful and ultramodern muscle cars. At the moment, Chrysler resumed production of the Dodge Challenger, equipping this car with an eight-cylinder engine with a volume of 6.4 liters and a capacity of 470 hp. And whatever you say, the concept developed by the automotive giant in 1966 was truly true and best.
