the Shelby lettering on the lip spoiler and features taillights reminiscent of the Ford Mustang, a subtle departure from the original Dodge design. This transformation seamlessly integrates into the Charger’s profile, evoking a sense of belonging.
Emmanuel’s creative touch extends to the car’s width, with the wheel fenders at both the front and rear dramatically expanded, giving birth to a widebody muscle car. The front end receives a new splitter beneath the bumper, injecting a dose of aggression into the overall design. Prominently displayed hood scoops hint at the formidable power concealed beneath the Charger’s hood.
Speaking of power, a Shelby iteration wouldn’t be complete without some enhancements to the powertrain. Shelby could unleash the potential of the already substantial 7.2-liter Magnum V8, as found in the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, by enlarging it to a staggering 8.0 liters. This transformation would elevate the power output from a formidable 425 hp and 490 lb-ft of torque to an awe-inspiring 525 hp and a heart-pounding 600 lb-ft of torque. These figures remain impressive even by contemporary standards, let alone for the late 1960s.
With this remarkable rendering in mind, one can’t help but hope that should Shelby have embarked on producing their own Charger, it would have been every bit as captivating as this imaginative creation.
Emmanuel’s vision of the Charger pays a fitting tribute to the legendary Shelby lineage with a striking paint scheme. The Charger, clad in an elegant all-white finish, features bold blue stripes that cascade down the hood, traverse the roof, and continue down the back of the muscle car. Notably, the blue accents extend to the wheel design and gracefully adorn the air dam section of the front end, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
For those seeking a departure from the classic white, Timothy also offers alternative color options. Nevertheless, the pristine white hue is a nod to Shelby’s heritage, recalling the original color of the 1960s Shelby Mustangs.
While the Charger retains the imposing grille and chrome bumper characteristic of 1960s muscle cars, it acquires distinctive Shelby elements. Atop the front end, the Shelby lettering proudly adorns the hood, ushering in a rejuvenated rear design.
The rear of the Shelby Charger boasts the Shelby lettering on the lip spoiler and features taillights reminiscent of the Ford Mustang, a subtle departure from the original Dodge design. This transformation seamlessly integrates into the Charger’s profile, evoking a sense of belonging.
