Built as an update from the original Topless Charger concept from 1968-69.
The 1970 Super Charger was Dodge’s latest show car entry. Based off the 1968 topless Charger, the Super Charger was designed by Dodge stylist and built by George Busti of Creative Customs in Detroit. By using the 1968 topless Charger, the Super Charger had a strong platform on which the stylist could make cosmetic changes.
New of 1970 was the introduction of tapered nose cone and functional air scoops on top of both fenders, which were borrowed from the Dodge Daytona. Engine cooling was increased by adding two sets of vacuum operated louvers in the hood. The rear deck lid now incorporated an adjustable air spoiler. The driver was able to electronically operated the rear fin for increased rear down force.
The Super Charger’s new paint scheme included seven coats of "Fire Orange" paint with non glare black accents. The interior was simply changed to current 1970 standard Charger. The black trimmed interior included fully padded high back bucket seats.
But the ultimate was the ’70 Dodge Super Charger. Based on the ’68 Topless Charger idea car, this vehicle was updated with a Plymouth Superbird-style nose cone, wore brilliant (and original) Fire Orange paint with a black hood, had a cut-down 10-inch windshield, and, unlike many of its show-only cousins, came equipped with an honest-to-goodness 440-cubic-inch, 375-horse Magnum V8. Features that never made it to the production line included a rear spoiler that automatically adjusted as speeds increased, vacuum-operated hood vents, side pipes, and twin flip-open gas caps.
