In recent months, the YouTube channel Hoonigan AutoFocus has mostly covered hardcore JDM drifters spotted at events like Gridlife Midwest. The most recent installment, however, flips the trend on its head—this is about as far from an engine-swapped Nissan Silvia as possible, though the spirit of aggressive, entirely over-the-top performance lives on in both automotive subcultures. Built-up to dominate shows, streets, and drag strips, this 1971 Dodge Charger looks mean and green, with a massive blower rendering its hood a thing of the past.

The last time we saw this monster was from US Muscle Classic Cars, but a beauty like this is so nice we had to take another look.

A Passion Project Over Decades

Hoonigan AutoFocus host Larry Chen takes a deep dive on the project, getting a quick tour from owner Todd Carlson, who has been working on the project since way back in 1979.  When he bought the car, it was powered by a 383ci V8 in SE trim. Despite the aggressive looks and sound, however, Carlson has managed to keep the car street-legal.

Over the years since he drove the Charger with its stock 383, he's swapped in a 440ci V8, then added a Tunnel Ram intake, and then, his grandmother loaned him $3,500 to bolt on a supercharger. The hilarious "IHATEGM" Illinois license plate belies the massive rear wing, the wheelie bars, and the drogue parachute that should render it illegal.

This isn't quite a period-correct build, as clearly proven by the carbon fiber usage for the blower, the rear wing, and on the interior. Green seat inserts match the steering wheel, door card trim, and exterior, giving the whole vibe a bit of a psychedelic feel that's only accentuated by reflective sound matting and Carlson's own bright outfit. The current powerplant displaces 540ci based on a Chrysler Mega Block and employs Eagle H-Beam rods and a steel crank from Mopar Performance.

With a 16-gallon fuel tank, the car can't actually drive very far but Carlson has a good sense of humor and laughs off the fact that he has to carry extra gas wherever he goes—and wherever he goes, he's all about going fast.
