11. Dodge Charger R/T
Most people know how the Dodge Charger looks like since it is one of the most popular and sought-after classic muscle cars in the world. But, the Brazilian version is totally different although it carries the same name and model designation. In the late ’60s, after the demise of the Simca operation, Chrysler decided to introduce the Dodge Dart, which they would produce locally.
The car was modern and among the most prestigious Brazilian models. But in 1971, Chrysler surprised Brazilian performance enthusiasts with a new model they called the Charger R/T. Basically, it was a dressed-up two-door Dart with a new front design and graphics. Also, it had a vinyl roof and a 318 V8 engine with 215 HP. The new Charger R/T was immediately one of the most desirable cars in Brazil. With its optional air conditioning, plush interior, and front disc brakes, it was highly advanced for the times. But the high price meant it was relatively rare, but also highly desirable.
