Yes, Truck!
This is something you won’t see every single day. It’s possible that you won’t see it every day. Dodge has never offered a Dodge with a pickup bed instead of a trunk and back seat. Smyth Performance, however, offers conversions for sixth-generation Chargers from 2006 to 2010. This is what you will see, so if you like it, make sure to place a bid.
This is because this particular example was just put up for auction on Cars & Bids. We have less than 24 hours until the hammer drops. The auction ends July 13, and the price is a healthy $12,000. There are currently 14 bidders. As the auction draws near, it’s likely that the price will rise as more bidders are involved. After all, where else can you find a Dodge Charger Ute with such a great look?
The auction listing shows that the car truck is only 68,800 miles. The car looks great and was converted in 2020. The bed is made of fiberglass quarter panels and a steel tailgate. The box is a trick modular device that can be lifted up to reach the spare tire in its original location. It is described as professionally installed and the photos show that it looks very neat.
The rest of the car is and it has a Hemi underneath. In 2006, the Charger was reborn with a 5.7-liter V8 that produced 340 horsepower (254 Kilowatts) as well as 390 pound-feet (529 Newton meters) of torque to its rear wheels via a five-speed auto transmission. This sounds like a machine that burns out weight and removes it from the back. Although we can only imagine what this American Ute can do, the listing mentions upgraded springs that will improve the handling. The Hemi hauler rides on 20-inch wheels, which will give it some power, but it is still a great ride.
According to Kelley Blue Book a 2006 Charger R/T with 68,000 miles and in excellent condition is valued between $7,400-$11,000 Bidding has already begun past this point, and we are curious to see how much it rises before the end of all that.
