Few machines, regardless of their genre and age, are as recognizable as the 1969 Dodge Charger. While the Mopar people came up with the iconic styling cues, we can thank the Dukes of Hazzard TV series for pushing the said model year into popular culture. As such, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see that the big coupe is the topic of the rendering we have here.
While most pixel portraits of the sort offer purists a ticket for the anger train, this one has a much more subtle way of playing with the appearance of the legendary Dodge.
You see, when Dodge introduced the second iteration of the Charger, the model left behind the lavish ambitions of the car it replaced, going for a sportier approach instead, dual scallops on the doors/hood and all. Well, this proposal doesn't mess with any of that; if anything, the minimalist take even sees the door mirrors being left behind.
Nevertheless, the road connection of the muscle car has been redefined. And, judging by how deep the custom wheels are buried inside the arches, we're dealing with air suspension here. Modern systems come with smartphone apps that allow the one behind the wheel to alter the ride height instantly, so there's no reason to fret over this Charger not being able to perform any potential daily driver duties.
Speaking of the rolling hardware, we're dealing with multi-spoke wheels that feature black centers and lips with a finish that might be mistaken for a mirror.
Black is obviously the dominant shade here. For one, while the classic bumpers are still in place, these have also been covered in the shade. And this is why we chose the nickname in the title.
Digital artist Kasim Tlibekov, who came up with the said touches, hasn't mentioned anything about the tech side of the vehicle. However, the sheer size of the new wheel and tire package, which might've required more than just the said suspension work, reminds us of the builds completed by Dave Kindig, whom you might know thanks to the Bitchin' Rides TV show. And if this proposal is anything like the said restomodded slabs of America, we can expect nothing less than a horsepower assault to come from under the hood.
