New cars aren't the only vehicles getting attention
at SEMA as Ringbrothers have unveiled an awesome 1969 Dodge Charger called the
Defector.Created over the course of 4,700 hours, the Defector retains the
iconic bodylines of the original muscle car but features a shortened body and a
wheelbase that has been extended by three inches. As part of the
transformation, the side rockers were lengthened and the quarter panels were
lowered and extended.
The car has also been equipped with a new front
valance and larger rear wheel wells that give a better glimpse at the 19-inch
HRE wheels that are backed up by six-piston Baer brakes. Ringbrothers went on
to install tasteful chrome accents and an eye-catching “Greener On The Other
Side" paint job.
Underneath the impressive bodywork resides a Detroit
Speed hydroformed subframe and a four-link rear suspension. The interior hasn't
been overlooked either as the model has upgraded front seats that have been
customized by Upholstery Unlimited. Drivers will also find new gauges and an
Alpine audio system.
Despite the retro-styling, the car is powered by a
6.4-liter Hemi V8 engine which features Flowmaster headers and a performance
exhaust.
