Dodge Challenger "Black Ghost" pro-touring tribute!
Or just the body! The current price is for the car only ! (no engine and transmission) We can make you a nice combo deal with an engine and transmission.
"The black ghost"
The black ghost was a legend in the early 1970s. It popped up at street races and was gone again after the win in Detroit. It was a Dodge Challenger 426 HEMI RT/SE 4-speed with a gator gain hardtop, and in triple black. He also picked a super track pack 4.10 rear gears with heavy-duty springs and a Chrysler A-833 four-speed manual transmission with a Hurst pistol grip shifter on top. This thing was a beast!
Nowadays, black cars are quite common, but not in the 70s. But this person, who made this car a legend without really knowing it at the time. Knew what he was doing. Originally, he wanted to get a normal black vinyl top and a shaker hood. But something went wrong with his order, and he got this unique Dodge Challenger 426 HEMI. Personally, he didn’t like the gator grain when he got the car, and because of the order that went wrong, he didn’t receive the shaker hood, either. But he didn’t return it. And went for it. Stalking the streets with his buddy, he drove the streets of Detroit, joining street races, and after winning, he quickly left the scene again. Nobody knew who this person was. But they knew the car. And that’s how it got its name, the “Black Ghost”. Quickly defeating its opponent and quickly leaving the scene again.
Godfrey Qualls was an ordinary American, who served in the army in America. After that, he went on to become a cop. He was the man that owned the “Black Ghost” And did street races with it (Ironic, a cop who became a street racing legend in Detroit)
