  • Steve Strope built this NASCAR inspired '68 DODGE CHARGER for George Poteet. It features a 472 cubic inch V8 along with so many custom pieces that Steve Strope and his guys at Pure Vision Design are known for doing. This is one bad Mopar that looks like a Nascar, and sounds like one so sit back and enjoy the ride...

      Incorrect. No 60s car with giant modern wheels and rubber band tires qualifies for that description. This car is dated by the corny race car stuff. At least put some 15" Aeros or Bassetts on the damn thing.
      Also, driving around on the street with an exposed roll cage waiting to turn your skull into putty is just retarded.
      p.s. Tim Allen's green Camaro is a damn near perfectly done car. It's just a set of 15" wheels away from perfect.

Man, this car sounds freakin' amazing and looks great! Not gonna lie, though... even though the interior in this one is ok, I'd still rather have a FULL interior.

    Any Charger with this body style and the AMC Javelin are my very favorite cars of the Era. I guess 'cause when I was 6 in 1973 you'd hardly ever see either of them and their styling was distinctive. This is a FANTASTIC BUILD!!! Later for my preferences.. I guess if I ever have enough 🍞 BREAD🍞 and the owner was interested in selling maybe then that'd be important😂😂😂 AMAZING!!!

    The 2nd Gen Charger is so beautifully designed that it's hard to screw up. As an aside, the cars themselves aren't referred to as "NASCARS." That moniker is reserved for the sanctioning body, or as an adjective. The cars are called "Stock cars," "Stockers," or "Cup Cars." Thanks Shawn.
