Oklahoma-based Finale Speed’s carbon-fiber 1970 Dodge Charger bodies will cost $199,000 according to the company’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dodge in August announced the carbon-fiber bodies<\/a> as part of a new round of items for its Direct Connection parts program<\/a>, along with carbon-fiber parts for the current Dodge Challenger and a Challenger rolling chassis for drag racing.<\/p>\n

\"Finale<\/p>\n

The bodies were designed to original specifications, but ride on a custom chassis with some extra structural bracing, according to Finale Speed. The material itself is prepreg carbon fiber<\/a> cured in an autoclave that gets a flat finish by default. Options include a $20,000 clear coat and $12,500 Forgeline three-piece wheels and tires.<\/p>\n

Direct Connection’s website<\/a> says bodies will be delivered as part of a rolling chassis with a Hellcat 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 crate engine installed. It will be up to customers to choose the transmission. Neither company has said how much weight the carbon-fiber body saves over the original steel body, but it must be significant.<\/p>\n

When the carbon Charger body was announced in August, Direct Connection said it would also work with Finale Speed on Plymouth Barracuda<\/a> and Road Runner bodies, although it hasn’t said when those will be available.<\/p>\n

Finale Speed isn’t the first company to remake a classic muscle car in carbon fiber. Wisconsin-based SpeedKore Performance Group has produced carbon-fiber bodies<\/a> for multiple vehicles, and used them on Charger builds for Stellantis design boss Ralph Gilles<\/a> and comedian Kevin Hart<\/a>, as well as a mid-engine 1968 Dodge Charger<\/a> that appeared in the most recent “Fast and Furious” movie, “F9.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
