This was a 9 year transformation project that began as a 56 Chrysler Windsor, morphing into a modern Chrysler ‘SRT8 technology’ one-of-a-kind true hot rod. Starting with the original classic lines and style of Virgil Exner’s Chrysler Windsor 2-door hardtop as the foundation, everything else about the car was transformed to the drivetrain and technology from a 2006 Chrysler SRT8. This included the 425HP 6.1 Hemi and 5-speed transmission, front and rear suspension assemblies, 15″ rotors and Brembo calipers with 20″ wheels and Khumo tires, anti-lock brakes with traction control and Electronic Stability Program, and more. The technology transition included all the body/drivetrain computers and wiring harnesses, facilitating all the modern features and conveniences of a high-end 06 Chrysler such as power door locks with keyless entry and security alarm, power windows, power exterior mirrors, cruise control, etc. A full 06 dash assembly including the HVAC unit was utilized, providing such features as power tilt/telescopic steering column, power adjustable pedals, dual-zone temperature control, steering wheel mounted controls, 180 MPH speedometer, tire pressure monitoring, navigation radio with Bluetooth and backup camera, interior lighting controls, auto-dimming headlight, interval wipers, etc. The interior was completely customized and upholstered in soft Austrian leather. Custom door panels were fabricated to accommodate the window and door lock switch modules and radio speakers relocated from the shortened dash panel. Extensive sound deadening applications were made to both the floor and overhead surface areas, resulting in a very enjoyable sound experience from the Hemi through a 3″ stainless steel dual exhaust system with FlowMaster mufflers.
