Fusion Luxury Motors proudly presents "Havoc" a masterpiece award-winning 1970 Dodge Challenger!!!
Built by Rides by Kam in Australia, the Havoc Challenger is one of the most impressive classic Challenger builds ever. The build spanned three years and approximately 10,000 hours of work by hand. Starting off with a 1970 Dodge Challenger, the car was completely stripped down and rebuilt around a bespoke Roadster Shop Fast Track chassis which featured double A-arm front suspension, a fully independent layout at the rear, as well as a NASCAR-spec steering rack. “Havoc” has certainly earned its name! The entire front end was replaced with a custom-designed hand-built steel hood to encase the new 572 Aluminum Hemi F3R ProCharged Engine. The Stanton Race Engine alone provides 900 HP and combined with the F3R direct ProCharger, this beast can make up to 2500 Horsepower!
As stated by Rob Zahabi in an interview, the goal was to completely transform the car using as many custom-fabricated parts as possible and refrain from using off-the-shelf, aftermarket upgrades. The amount of work that went into this build is astounding, culminating in a one-of-a-kind vehicle that you will find nowhere else. The vast majority of the body panels were built from scratch, and the majority of the work was done in-house by Rides by Kam, from interiors, wiring, bodywork, painting all the interior, engine bay, and underbody matte clear, fabrication, and final fit, the only time it left RBK was to go to C.A.D Custom in Melbourne to lay on the stunning PPG Charley Hutton Slanted Brown to the exterior shell.
"Havoc" made its grand debut at the Great Meguiar's Uncover at Summernats 32 in January 2019, where it clinched numerous awards, including the prestigious Top Judged Elite title. The accolades further extended to securing a spot among the final 15 of the 'Battle Of The Builders' in its category, and as a finalist for both the Goodguys Gold Award and the Best On Roadster Shop Award. Most impressively it clinched the revered ULTIMATE BEST IN SHOW honor at the 'Barrett-Jackson Cup,' presented by eBay Motors.
Assembled by Stanton Racing Engines (the folks who built Mopar's NASCAR engines at the time), the 572-ci (9.4 liters) all-aluminum big-block came with upgraded bores, race-spec valves, cylinder heads, a huge 120-mm (4.72 inches) throttle body, colossal 2,200cc injectors. Force-fed air by a crank-driven F3 ProCharger centrifugal supercharger, sent dynos into a frenzy by easily achieving around 2,500 hp. Accompanied with 6-piston Baer brakes - complete with custom Havoc badging - are a set of iconic American Legend Blackhawk wheels paired with Mickey Thompson tires. The combination provides the perfect environment for the airbag suspension. The transmission tunnel is embedded through the center of the cockpit, keeping the vehicle as low to the ground as you can get! All that power is sent to the 15-inch-wide rear wheels through a custom Tremec Magnum T56 six-speed manual and a Roadster Shop 9-inch (228.6 mm) differential.
Stepping inside you'll find an interior like no other, consisting almost entirely of handmade steel. Custom inset bucket seats are paired with Simpson racing harness seatbelts and a Ring Brothers skeleton shifter. The door mats and accents are all clad in brown diamond-stitched leather to compliment the steel-painted surfaces. “Havoc” badging adorns the vehicle, inside and out, in an eye-catching yet sophisticated way. Set the mood with custom LED accenting, from inside the cockpit to the engine bay itself. Dakota Digital provided the cockpit's red-backlit gauge cluster to accompany the custom-built dash. The twin hump design gives a nod to vintage sports cars, while the flush-mounted iPad in the center brings the vehicle into the 21st century. Despite the front of the vehicle being almost completely reconstructed, the iconic grill is the original factory grill, modified to fit the new front end. The craftsmanship truly shines in the details, with all glass flush mounted, as well as flush inset door handles, and iconic Dimple Die accents throughout the entire vehicle.
In 2022, Havoc was de-tuned from 101 octane to 91 pump fuel in order to make it more practical for frequent driving, taking the vehicle down from 2500 to ~1200 HP. New side mirrors were installed and the vehicle was lifted an extra 1.5” off the ground to assist in the drivability.
This is a rare opportunity for collectors to obtain a vehicle that has redefined Resto-Mod culture as we know it.
