Product Description : The Charger 500 was not fast enough, so engineers created the now legendary Charger Daytona. This car was an oddity, with an 18 inch extension in the front which gave the car a downward force, helping to keep it on the track. The rear still had lift in corners, so a large wing that rose 23 inches high was built into the rear, tall enough to let the trunk open. This design proved to be so successful that NASCAR changed their rules in 1971 to not allow engines over the size of 305 ci (5.0 L), with the previous limit being 426 ci (7.0 L). The Charger was completely re-styled for 1971. Hidden headlights were now optional, not standard. A cool option was the Ramcharger hood, which allowed the driver to flip a lever under the dash, which opened a passage for clean air into the carburetor. The R/T was still available, but was discontinued for 1972. The new Rally option replaced the R/T in 1972. 1971 was also the last year of the 426 Hemi and 440 six pack engines in the Charger, or any other Dodge model. The Charger would roll through 1974, and then become an option on the Chrysler Cordoba from 1975 through 1978. Ages 12+ Boxed 8" x 5" x 4"
