AMT/ERTL 00678 1971 Dodge Charger R/T

The Dodge Charger is an American sports passenger car that was first presented to the public in 1966. Its serial production started in the same year and continues to this day with interruptions. The Charger was designed and launched into production as Dodge's answer to the Pontiak GTO. The first generations of the car belonged to the so-called muscle car. Structurally, the Dodge Charger was based on many solutions used in the Coronet model, especially on its chassis produced by Chrysler (the so-called B Platform). The first generations were offered with 6- and 8-cylinder engines up to 7.2 liters, primarily as a 2-door coupe and fastback. The car has been completely changed in the 6th and 7th generations, which have been produced since 2006 till present. The styling has been completely changed, the cars received a very rich electronic equipment, as well as completely new drive units and almost all systems (especially: steering, braking and suspension).
