Hello Fellas -

Wondering if anyone could help identify what I think was a highly modified Dodge Challenger that was being driven through south west London this evening.

Will try best to describe - tried to get a pic, but was on the push bike....

Looked like a dodge challenger, but with huge rear arch extensions, under which were what I would guess to be 13-14" wide rear tyres. Wheels had some writing in the dish of the wheel (ie parallel with the ground, if that makes sense)

Had an SRT badge in the boot and 6.1L on the bonnet

Painted in Matt black had enormous presence, not lease coz with the extensions it was, physically, enormous!

Plate was summat like BO55CVH.

Re-kindled my interest in yank motors in a big way... Have been googling away to find similar but can't seem to find any pics

Anyone know of the car or what it may be?

Here you go fella, I think it had something to do with the London Motor Museum, although I could be wrong...

It sounds similar to Quintin 'Rampage' Jackson's Challenger, especially the rear end. It could be another special edition build?

that dodge challenger you are talking about belongs to Elo, who owns London Motor Museum - it's called a wideboy because of the widened rear on it and yes it's massive that car - it gets more looks than any porsche, lambo, bmw etc... and sounds awesome too. the wheels are also massive each wheel and tyre costs 13k
however, if you love american cars, classic and modern muscle, his museum is well worth the £10 entrance fee - he has an enviable collection of cars - including a Transformer's truck, and the Batman cars - sooo much there.

Bizarrely I was looking at this car today. It's with the people who do my IVA conversions as it's never been tested.

Wouldn't you just feel like a right cock-end driving around in that though?

That sounds about as believable as the prices he attaches to his cars when he puts them on eBay. rofl

You should see it now it's been sprayed, badly, matte black.
