Street, strip or showroom... Dodge is a winner!
In 1964, Dodge consolidated a number of it's available "stock" parts into a "Maximum Performance Package" available on the 330 Series Sedan. Powered by high-output Ramcharger 426 Max Wedge or 426 Hemi engines, these factory-built race cars included custom-fabricated aluminum hoods (with huge dual or single inlet scoops), lightweight front bumper, magnesium front wheels, plastic side windows and bucket seats (out of the Dodge commercial van) completed the package. With these cars, Dodge issued this warning: "designed for use in supervised acceleration trials. It is not recommended for general every day driving because of the compromise of all-around characteristics which must be made for this type of vehicle." They weren't kidding.
Powering the 1964 Dodge 330 Superstocks were the 426 Max Wedge or new 426 Hemi engines. The Max Wedge was a 413 RB-Wedge V-8, bored from 4.19 to 4.25 inches to become the Ramcharger 426. Immediately, the 425 horsepower Ramchargers blistered the record books with quarter-mile times in the 12-second range. In effort to dominate all forms of racing, Chrysler introduced the 426 Hemi V-8 in February of 1964. The Hemi was created by ultilizing the hemispherical combustion chamber design from the 1950's Chrysler Red Ram (FirePower) engines. When the Hemi heads were mated to a beefed-up 413/426 RB-Block over 500 horsepwoer was achieved. Just for the dragstrip, a ram-tuned aluminum induction set-up with two 4-barrel carburetors pushed output to nearly 700 horsepower.

The Dodge Charger debuted in 1966 and reached its styling peak with the 1968–1970 B-body design — one of the most dramatic shapes in American automotive history. The 1969 Charger Daytona was a NASCAR homologation special with a 23-inch aerodynamic nose cone and towering rear wing, with only 503 built. The Charger's role in the Dukes of Hazzard as the 'General Lee' cemented its place in American pop culture, though collectors prize the real high-performance variants far more than their television counterpart.
This 1/18 scale replica of the 1964 Dodge Charger is produced by Highway 61 to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
