That was amazing it's the perfect build. 950 lbs of torque is insane. Diesel trucks that haul tons use that kind of power. The grey bumpers really did make it look sleek. Another great one for the channel.
Man this is SICK! Wait till you see the one we are building at Eckerts Rod and Custom. We are doing a 69 Road Runner with a Hellephant, and Corvette transaxle behind it.
1000 HP with stock 1968 seatbelts? Absolutely sick Charger though, I love it. I like how he kept the 68 lines and tucked in the bumpers. Wheels look nice and not too flashy.
Brought a tear to my eye just thinking about how much blood, sweat and tears this man had to go through to build something like this. Good job brother!
This has always been my favorite body style the grill ,hide away lights didn't like the gray color at first but up close the color barks back at you beautiful wheel
I always appreciate the amount of work that goes into a build like this and understand that different people like different things and it's not my car, etc, etc but am I the only one who liked the "before" look better lol?
I enjoyed watching this. I am in the process of building a 68 with a hellcat engine but now I might have to step up my game lol. Great build all the way around.
The right mix between original and new tech. Some cars are great show pieces ,but this is a car that can be driven. The guy smiles from ear to ear about his awesome car.
My father had the 69 Charger back when we were kids and sold it before heading to Vietnam. Still my favorite car, close second is the 71 Hemi 'Cuda! This is a beautiful piece of machinery in this vid
I always feel glad when I see a smile at Sean's face :-D I sometimes wish I had a job like that too :-D Best Greek greetings from Germany my man, keep up the good work ;-) !
Heck yeah that's how you start a video off...love it when the drivers not a afraid to drive it like they stole it..that's got to be the nicest charger out there right now..
It looked better in the before pic. We're seeing many builds that are 10/10 on execution quality but 5/10 on design aesthetics. Even riddler award winners are sometimes overdone.
This Car is just PERFECT, my God. The Grey and Black Paintjob looks awesome, espacially with the Blue Hellephant emblems. Cant say anything about the Performance other then ITS A BEAST!
Amazing man I have always lusted over chargers over any other car. I loved the startup sound of this machine awesome built it's just crazy. Thanks for the follow-up on the start-ups. Cheers
Boy would this car work in a new movie "Bullett, the son of"! 😊 Thanks for sharing. My uncle had a super Bee 🐝 and him and his friend used to race back in the early 70's before he moved to California. The car then was a beast but the sound of the car this guy put together deserves compliments no matter where he goes! Absolutely beautiful car! Kudos to you that was able to afford this build. 👍 Respect!
This is what makes me smile! That beast is a thing of beauty. I can’t even imagine what it be like to own that masterpiece? Great job on that one of kind👍🏼👍🏼
This is one of my favorite rides ever on this channel... and I've been a Chevy guy for my entire life. I can appreciate any car, though. Edit: shout out to Jimmy! As someone who's owned an auto customization shop since 2000, I'm impressed that one man built this, as a side job.
Had a '73 Charger I bought new with a 400 4bbl in it. I loved that car! Sadly I drove the doors off it and eventually had to trade it in. Wish I would have had the $$ to restore it! Would love to have this monster!
Now, this one is nice. I've seen a lot of nice ones but this is maybe the nicest one that I've seen yet. And they got the exhaust note just right, it sounds like a Gen ii Hemi.
What a beast, this thing is!!! The sound of that motor is music to my ears, I'd want this over any exotic from Europe. The HELLIPHANT motor is another Dodge milestone in performance that can take a 2 ton+ car and move it effortlessly. WOW... We won't mention the new Charger HELLIPHANT that is very limited in production but has this same motor in it and retails at about $200k, if you can find one, so this car is way more valuable and expensive IMO.
The Regal/GNX that was like 1800 HP or something was my favorite and always will be because I'm a crazy fan. BUT....this is in 2nd place!! Very well done and not over the top

That right there was the car’s birthright. The most capable engine dodge made from factory in one of their best cars.
Trying to find a decent 68 or 69 nowadays is almost impossible . It's either a small fortune or so rusted out it's more trouble than it's worth.
@@Stettenbauer that’s true.
@@Stettenbauer which is very sad
Yes yes yes!!
Couldn’t have said it better bruh
What a clean car & killer sound! Also, bonus points for having both the Tuff wheel & the pistol grip which is the ultimate Mopar combo.
I agree!!
Love the pistol grip on here and the power is intoxicating
I have the tough wheel on my 70 Challenger.
A must. I agree!
I’m not a big Mopar guy but even I’ll admit that combo is a wombo combo for sure!
1968 Charger STILL has the best looks than ANY new car out there. Nothing looks better than a 1968 Charger.
😅😅😅 even i look better😅😅😅
If their was a car that suits a 1000hp it's the Dodge Charger, what a unit
When they show the engine they put it on a crazy dodge charger
Yes the old school not the piece of shit new one
That’s the truth
Yessir
@@KingCapone704 the new one is 1000x better but keep on being a fudd
One of the best body styles ever. Insane car!
The downshift at 9:42 legitimately made my jaw drop it sounded so good
I love 2nd gen chargers, this one right here is one the most badass examples I've ever seen. Very nice build.
It really is exceptional
Holy smokes, I’m in love with this car. Hats off to the owner for driving all that way. 💯
So true Andrew!!
So happy he was willing to bring it out for us to shoot. Such a cool guy and his builder Jimmy came with him. Awesome day of shooting!
That was amazing it's the perfect build. 950 lbs of torque is insane. Diesel trucks that haul tons use that kind of power. The grey bumpers really did make it look sleek. Another great one for the channel.
This car is done so right and no denying that engines power…awesome!!
Man this is SICK! Wait till you see the one we are building at Eckerts Rod and Custom. We are doing a 69 Road Runner with a Hellephant, and Corvette transaxle behind it.
Maybe when it’s done we can shoot it?? Sounds like a killer build
@@AutotopiaLA that would be awesome!
Can't wait
@@TheDragonDelasangre you guys are in Molalla, right? I live in Salem.
This is one sick 68 Charger especially with that Hellephant engine.
Great build and that engine is incredible
@@AutotopiaLA Sure is brother.
Wow! Totally impressed. I’m a Chevy guy but respect. I’d take that ride any day.
It’s really impressive as are the owner and builder…such cool people
1000 HP with stock 1968 seatbelts? Absolutely sick Charger though, I love it. I like how he kept the 68 lines and tucked in the bumpers. Wheels look nice and not too flashy.
Had the privilege to meet David today delivering to his house and got to see the car in person. Such a sick build and super cool owner!
Brought a tear to my eye just thinking about how much blood, sweat and tears this man had to go through to build something like this. Good job brother!
And almost all done by one man
Yea not the man who owns it. This is classic example of bought not built.
Yeah now go to the store in your minivan 🤣
Another clean charger build. Have to love that supercharger whine
Great build and great people involved
This has always been my favorite body style the grill ,hide away lights didn't like the gray color at first but up close the color barks back at you beautiful wheel
And 1000 pony's don't hurt this ride either
That car looks and sounds so sick 🔥
Cmon guys let's get this channel up to 500,000 subs! Making quality videos like this is NOT cheap!
Thank you…little buddy little it keeps growing with help from people like you so a big thanks!!
OMG , friggin sick! One in hundred crate motors? Nothing sounds like a hemi . Plus the best body style ever made.
That engine is so damn good!!
This thing is insane man!! Wow!! That’s one badass ride!!
Amazing build and that engine is insanity!
Sick car and great color combo with the blue accents
Love the color combo and the leather on the seats was soooooo soft!!
Wasn't sold on the color scheme, then you explained the concept. Now I'm on board! Amazing!!
It grew on me too
Straight Up killer !
Love that build, colour, suspension, brakes, interior, wheels and of course that MOTOR/trans !
West Coast Madness ;)
Definitely a stellar build on all points
Mannn God bless mopar/dodge. They listen to what the people want old school horsepower with new technology
They really are in touch more than any other American muscle manufacturer
@@AutotopiaLA exactly 💯 thank you.
I always appreciate the amount of work that goes into a build like this and understand that different people like different things and it's not my car, etc, etc but am I the only one who liked the "before" look better lol?
😂😂
Nope you're not the only one. Not a fan of primer gray.
@@twohandsandaradio I don't hate the color, but I don't necessarily love it either.
Can’t help but notice that in the first pictures, the original looking Bumper looked so good. I’d have to agree
That black stripe hellephant decal on the rear of the car is cringe af. outside of that and the wheels its spot on.
Jay Leno has to have this one on his show! 🤞🏼
No question!
This is the absolute epitome of a badass muscle car. This would intimidate anyone at a traffic light. Love this beast.
Intimidating is the truth with this one
@@AutotopiaLA Yes Indeed..
Except a demon lol
I enjoyed watching this. I am in the process of building a 68 with a hellcat engine but now I might have to step up my game lol. Great build all the way around.
Unfortunately it’s almost impossible to get one of these engines with only 100 produced
The right mix between original and new tech. Some cars are great show pieces ,but this is a car that can be driven. The guy smiles from ear to ear about his awesome car.
They really did this one right
Would not have known “hellaphant” until this vid. Slick ride and looks damn good!
That engine is the newest from Dodge and it’s a monster!
My father had the 69 Charger back when we were kids and sold it before heading to Vietnam. Still my favorite car, close second is the 71 Hemi 'Cuda! This is a beautiful piece of machinery in this vid
Killer build man... Love everything about it, color, interior, wheels. Nicely done
They really nailed it on this build
them Duke boys would be proud
😂😂
The owner of the car smiling ear to ear as he running through the gears is what it's all about good stuff!!!!!
When I saw the UA-cam short of you driving this car I could not wait for you to drop the video, thank you so much for doing this one Sean!
Big thanks to David and Jimmy for bringing it all the way out for us to shoot! Such cool people
Great build - love that it sounds more big block than supercharger
That engine sounds incredible. Definitely sounds like a big block beast
I have to say, the smiles on your faces the whole time tell the whole story. That is a beautiful build and the color is amazing!!!
That's a BEAST!! EVERYTHING IS ON POINT. FROM THE COLOR RIMS AND TIRES INTERIOR ETC. BEAUTIFUL
They nailed it on this build. Taste and class
Boy that's a beautiful muscle car really looks good and sounds really strong
It’s a beast!!
that is an amazing car.
the only thing I'm not sold on is the black and blue Dumbo graphics, but its not my car.
great job.
I always feel glad when I see a smile at Sean's face :-D I sometimes wish I had a job like that too :-D Best Greek greetings from Germany my man, keep up the good work ;-) !
This one was smiles the whole time!! Stoked he let me drive it!!
Awesome. I’m glad you got to show this off
And I’m glad I got to drive it!!
Unbelievable display of muscle and designed to handle all of it!! What a fantastic build!
They nailed this build on all points
I am not a mopar guy…. Having said that, I want that car. Beautifully done. Manual transmission, the way it should be.
It’s such a perfect car
Heck yeah that's how you start a video off...love it when the drivers not a afraid to drive it like they stole it..that's got to be the nicest charger out there right now..
He drives it and I love it!! And I got to drive it which was awesome!!
It looked better in the before pic. We're seeing many builds that are 10/10 on execution quality but 5/10 on design aesthetics. Even riddler award winners are sometimes overdone.
This Car is just PERFECT, my God.
The Grey and Black Paintjob looks awesome, espacially with the Blue Hellephant emblems.
Cant say anything about the Performance other then ITS A BEAST!
Great vid... fantastic car...all the right questions...all the right answers...Very Well Done.
Thank you and they sure nailed it on this one
Amazing man I have always lusted over chargers over any other car. I loved the startup sound of this machine awesome built it's just crazy. Thanks for the follow-up on the start-ups. Cheers
BADASS! That sound is music to my ears!
I’m not really big on Mopar but even I’ll admit this is quite an impressive build, something unique for sure! I love it!
Very cool build all around
I love that grey.. it's like a combo of Ford's leadfoot and abyss, absolutely gorgeous.
I LOVE that he kept so much 68 Charger!!! Awesome car!! Awesome video! Thanks Shawn.
Looks killer mean. Super nice work. Steve McQueen would love this!
Bullitt would never have caught this one 😂
One Best Rides You Have Had On The Show Thanks So Much
Agreed. Wait til you see the next one he’s building…it’ll be another knock out
That car is amazing. Not too overdone like others, just subtly done well.
Done with taste and class
American muscle baby!!!!!
Love it
Pure and true
Boy would this car work in a new movie "Bullett, the son of"! 😊 Thanks for sharing. My uncle had a super Bee 🐝 and him and his friend used to race back in the early 70's before he moved to California. The car then was a beast but the sound of the car this guy put together deserves compliments no matter where he goes! Absolutely beautiful car! Kudos to you that was able to afford this build. 👍 Respect!
This is what makes me smile! That beast is a thing of beauty. I can’t even imagine what it be like to own that masterpiece? Great job on that one of kind👍🏼👍🏼

Edit: shout out to Jimmy! As someone who's owned an auto customization shop since 2000, I'm impressed that one man built this, as a side job.
Jimmie is impressive to say the least and they nailed it on this one
Amazingly, I like the color matched bumpers.
Plus like the Chip Foose-esque bumper french.
Stance and rake are pretty damn good.
It’s a really well done Charger and that engine is insanely cool
“It’s not a quiet girl.” Awesome!
No she’s not!! Some of the crap that come outta my mouth even makes me laugh 😂😂
Maybe fav total car Charger ever
It’s done so right with class and ridiculous power
I can't decide if I like the rims or not. In one shot they look bad ass , and in the next they look kind of strange almost like different rims.
Favorite part is hand down the manual trans. About time someome had the cojones
Im not even a mopar guy and i love it!!! Awesome!!
WHAT A BEAUTY,AND KICK ASS POWER .DODGE CHARGERS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am a mopar nut. have a 70' challenger and a 65' coronet 500 both in different stages of build. thank you for all the mopar content.
Dumbo has been sold! Well technically auctioned off at the Barrett Jackson Auction (Scottsdale 2024)
I’m a die hard Chevy fan, but Mopar makes some pretty cool stuff. That hellephant engine looks and sounds good with the Charger. 🔥
Had a '73 Charger I bought new with a 400 4bbl in it. I loved that car! Sadly I drove the doors off it and eventually had to trade it in. Wish I would have had the $$ to restore it! Would love to have this monster!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! SO BADASS!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!! I LOVE THE HELLEPHANT MOTOR!!!! SO MUCH FUN!!!!
Very rare and extremely cool engine for sure
Wow. That's by far the best restomod charger I've seen. Hellaphant powdered nasty in that nice way. Thanks for sharing
One of my favorite cars u have checked out. Beautiful
Same for me and we’ve shown some amazing builds
@@AutotopiaLA that sir u have!
This channel is great!
Thank you!!
The coolest Charger on Earth, next to Bo & Luke's! 😉
AWESOME ride! Thanks for sharing!
It’s really a spectacular build
Amazing colour. Sound. “It’s awesome!”
Damn what a fantastic car!! That engine is music to my ears!!
OMGAWD that's so obnoxiously Wicked sounding,! Pure 🔥🔥🔥
It’s such an evil build
@@AutotopiaLA Truth. Dope editing also. 👊
That’s our kid Kyle on the edits
@@AutotopiaLA Badass !
The type of video that hurts your face from smiling over 13 mins straight!
Have a good weekend guy.
That’s so true!! Enjoy your weekend too my friend
Now that's a car. Literally hell of a car. 💪🏽 Cars all the way.
Now, this one is nice. I've seen a lot of nice ones but this is maybe the nicest one that I've seen yet. And they got the exhaust note just right, it sounds like a Gen ii Hemi.
Watching you guys drive that beautiful charger brings me back to when I first fell in love with the general lee... hats off to you guys
That's a badass charger. I've always wanted one in an 811ci HEMI with a 6-speed.
It’s such a cool build
Angry and violent.
That's a good description.
Love it.....
It really is
I can’t imagine owning something god tier like this. Insane
That car is a handful!!!!!!
It sure is
Why the hell am I just now discovering this channel? Guess I've been living under a rock. That is one badass Charger!!

Great comment and yes, very rare engine
Awesome car and guy what a great build you’ve done it again Shawn UK Fan
He’s such a cool guy as is the builder Jimmy. They came a lot of miles for us to shoot it and glad they did cause “wow!!!”
The Regal/GNX that was like 1800 HP or something was my favorite and always will be because I'm a crazy fan. BUT....this is in 2nd place!! Very well done and not over the top
Grey and Carolina Blue looks amazing together.
That blue mustang in the background tugs at my heart for some reason
Cool car, thanks Sean.
Thanks for watching and yeah, killer build!
Awesome video as usual, what a beautiful Car. The Fiesta Flash 🤙🏼🍺🍺🍺
Killer ride for sure!
This channel features the most badass cars in the world!
We sure try!
That is a very nice build.
That's a bad ass charger
It sure is
I love it man.
Me too!!
Best Mopar engine in the best Charger that ever existed. Hell, the best car ever.
I love that engine!! And nothing quite as cool as a Charger
