Top Gear studio 2005 - Hammond's Dodge Charger

Cars exiting after filming, 2005. 1969 base model built into R/T spec in the US during the 1990s, imported to the UK 2004, sold via eBay later that year. The wheels were imported from Japan. It survives today, but painted orange as a Hazzard clone. For the record, this was taken on a budget Canon compact 'stills' camera - you can't carry a camcorder anywhere near that studio.

It's a charger. Why is there any debate about this? Real car guys can look at it for a 1/2 second and tell. It's one of the most iconic muscle cars. C'mon, why is this so difficult.

@BravestToaster I don't know, but it's funny ....for a while. I guess the 'real car guys' aren't squinting at a grubby video clip on a tiny Smartphone. They're out there building a better one...

HIDEOUS WHEELS totally destroy the look of the car, also those tires dont belong on a muscle car PERIOD, stance doesnt look good either.

The guy who built this one should stick to euro/jap cars, stop raping muscle cars pls

[bent8rover]

@Justsomeguysomewhere In your opinion.

[bent8rover]

@hughski0000 There was no such model. In fact, no manufacturer has made a model edition called 'morons'.

@mackensie2212 u just jelly

@danelio if you want to turn and punch the gas at the same time in a real muscle car, the wheels isn't the first thing you should change, but if you've got some manliness in yourself you have to agree that those rims looks like a donkeys ass on a charger

@hughski0000 Actually, the Barracuda(with 2 r's) had a much shorter platform than the Charger, it shared one with the Challenger, an had a flat pane back window, not the inset one this Charger clearly has, also, it's body dimensions where completely different.

@Justsomeguysomewhere you're a retard. the car is nice. just because it doesn't have drag slicks and weld wheels in the back doesn't mean its shity. maybe this guy actually wants to be able to turn and punch the gas at the same time, and not just go fast in a straight line. leave the comments for the smarter, more motorsports oriented people. not girls that complain about a car because it doesn't meet their generic and boring standards.

I like those rims, at least they arn't 30' inch DUB's lol

[MrIggybo]

@bent8rover yea fuck his opinion...

[superpug666]

@Justsomeguysomewhere the wheels arent that bad its not because its a muscle car that it should only have magnum 500s or cragar ss....theres better things than 15inches lol and for the tires, they are sport so better grip what wrong with that? The only think i seriously dislike are the mufflers....they are suposed to be hidden underneath the car before the rear axle...not a generic universal pos like that, but awesome car still

[mackensie2212]

what a horrid car!

@BravestToaster

Are you for certain its a charger ?

[scaifie2]

@jflexe99 he probably wants to protect the originals from the poor excuse for tarmac that they use on british roads
