RestoMods Unveils RM30: A Ground-Up Restored 1970 Dodge Charger HEMI RestoMod With $50K Prize
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector In celebration of its 30th vehicle giveaway, RestoMods has unveiled a meticulously restored 1970 Dodge Charger dubbed RM30 — and it comes with a $50,000 cash kicker. This fully built RestoMod combines old-school muscle with modern performance in what may be the most exciting Mopar giveaway yet. The restoration team at RestoMods started with a full ground-up rebuild, resulting in a show-quality finish coated in Viper Red paint. Under the hood, a BluePrint Engines 426 cubic-inch Gen 3 HEMI delivers modern muscle, paired to a Tremec TKX five-speed manual transmission. A Holley Terminator X-Max EFI system ensures precise engine management, while a CVF accessory drive and MagnaFlow stainless exhaust system complete the powertrain package. Chassis and handling upgrades include a full QA1 suspension setup with coilovers, rack-and-pinion steering, and US Car Tool subframe connectors and bracing. Stopping power is handled by Wilwood brakes, featuring six-piston calipers up front and four-piston units in the rear, paired with a custom-machined master cylinder lid from Evans CNC. The Charger rides on American Racing Groove wheels wrapped in Falken RT660 rubber, complemented by LED lighting, new glass, trim, and chrome. Inside, the muscle car feels just as modern as it performs — with Dakota Digital gauges, Sparco GT bucket seats, Vintage Air A/C, and a Hurst pistol grip shifter integrated into a Flaming River tilt column. The RM30 is not only a tribute to Mopar heritage but a fully drivable beast ready for the road or show field — and it could belong to one lucky winner.

Time Capsule 1995 Dodge Viper Only Has 15K Miles
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector A pristine 1995 Dodge Viper RT/10 with just 15,000 miles on the odometer is now available at auction, offered at no reserve. This first-generation Viper, a standout in the world of American muscle cars, is in remarkable condition and has been modified for enhanced performance and aesthetics. Finished in Viper Red with a Quartz leather interior, the car features several upgrades, including a revised exhaust system, smooth air-intake tubes, and an Autoform removable hardtop. It rides on 18-inch BBS Y-spoke wheels and is fitted with Toyo Proxes R888 R tires, adding a more aggressive stance. Additional modifications include 5/8-inch suspension lowering caps and a Pioneer stereo system. The car is powered by the iconic 8.0-liter V10 engine, mated to a six-speed manual transmission, which sends 400 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels via a limited-slip differential. The Viper RT/10, originally delivered to Lloyd Treadway Chrysler Plymouth Dodge in Findlay, Ohio, is a true example of the Viper's raw performance capabilities. With no reserve price, the car is being offered with the original window sticker, owner's manual, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Arizona title. A soft top, not currently installed, and the original 17-inch three-spoke wheels with Michelin tires are also included. Known for its bold design, featuring a forward-opening clamshell hood and side-exit exhaust outlets, this Viper retains its classic appearance with slight modifications, such as clear front turn signal lenses. Despite a few scuffs on the underside of the front bumper, the car's overall condition remains superb, and it is a true collector's item for anyone interested in American performance vehicles from the 1990s.
