This bronze 1969 Dodge Charger might look familiar to a few of you, not that it in itself is famous. Rather, it’s sadly pretty infamous as it has been a project car for two magazines over the course of a dozen years: once introduced early in this author’s career while as Mopar Muscle Magazine, and later while at Street Legal TV. At Mopar Muscle, the Charger was christened “Brazen” for its T7 Copper paint, and while at SLTV, we named it “Killer Kong” with hopes of installing a Gen II Hemi between the shock towers. Sadly, that wasn’t meant to be, and opportunity’s knock took yours truly to greener pastures.

Throughout that time, this particular B-Body has been caged, subframed, media blasted, primered, stripped bare, painted, reassembled, plumbed, wired, aligned, had its brakes bled, and even driven under its own power (although it still lacks registration. We’ll get right on that). But it is with some aplomb that we rebrand our ever-going project “Brazen” once more, much more so for its boldness as a street machine than its hue.
