The 1960s are considered to be the glory days of drag racing, where everything was raw. Darin Smith of DWS Classics in Huntington Beach wanted to capture some of that magic in his personal project, a replica of the 1965 Dodge Coronet 440 Super Stock.

Just one quick look at this beast tells you it's built differently from the usual muscle car restomods. It's made to go fast down the quarter-mile as it would have in the 1960s, not handle like a sports car. That said, it's not fully old-school, as under the Coronet 440's hood is a Mopar Performance 472 crate engine, which is essentially a stroked and bored out 426 Hemi.
