This is why we’re not surprised to learn that car collectors would rather have second- and third-generation Chargers in their garages. However, we’re happy to report that the early B platform Chargers have not been forgotten, with many enthusiasts restoring and even improving these large coupes.

One of them is Ryan Korek of Korek Designs, who is driving a gorgeous restomod 1966 Charger that was fitted with a 6.1-liter Gen III Hemi engine under the hood. Improvements are numerous, as Korek and his team wanted the handling and comfort of a new car, but the Charger kept most of its original sheetmetal.
