A 1970 Challenger Homage

Chip Foose it at it again.

- Chip Foose, customizer, illustrator, artist (and all-around decent guy), is extending his association with Unique Performance, builder of six-figure custom muscle-car reproductions, like the Foose 1969 Camaro, Foose Stallion Mustang and Shelby GT.500E Super Snake. The two are planning to give the Mopar freaks some, with a run of supercars based on the 1970 Dodge Hemi Challenger. Buyers will get a choice of Hemi powerplants (347 ci and 426 ci) hooked to a TKO five-speed tranny, and the cars will feature shaved bumpers, Foose 18" wheels and a custom DuPont paint scheme. A prototype Challenger is scheduled to debut this Thursday, June 15, 2006, with production set to begin next month.
