This award winner has a long list of modifications.
Garage Kept Motors of Grand Rapids, Michigan is pleased to announce this unique 1978 Dodge Magnum for sale. This is a one-of-a-kind, multiple award-winning Magnum that’s been also featured on a television show. The list of customizations is virtually endless; it’s not hard to see that this beauty has truly been spoiled in all the right ways.
This 1978 Dodge Magnum is more than just a car, it’s a work of art. The car has been under the same client ownership for the past 27 years. It has been with heavy hesitation that he has decided to sell it. He purchased the car stock in 1990, but the only original part of the Magnum that remains is the glovebox door and VIN number. Close to $300,000 has been invested in this no-expense-spared Magnum. The entire build process was well thought out and carefully executed with no shortcuts taken. All of the work was performed by professionals, like Classic Coachworks, who Garage Kept Motors personally knows and can vouch for. The entire body of this ’78 Dodge Magnum is made from steel and the interior is all custom finished with only the highest quality materials.
The most noticeable exterior upgrade is the flawless Tahitian Green Pearl paint job that looks as though it changes color when indoors versus outdoors. The car is also sporting a custom-cut windshield, custom hood scoop, custom side mirrors, modified and blended bumpers, hand-formed steel ground effects, and a molded trunk lid. Lighting mods include custom hand-formed LED taillights, modified headlight openings with custom lenses, custom LED running lights and side markers, and a rear spoiler with integrated LEDs. What’s more, the roof has been extended by six inches in order for the rear glass to lay down into the trunk area. The side-door window openings have been lowered by two inches and the opera windows were removed.
This blue/green stunner is powered by a Mopar 400 cubic-inch V8 engine with a mild cam. The car has also been upgraded with front and rear disc brakes, as well as a hand-built suspension system for the torsion bar modification. Moving onto the cabin, the interior sports all custom fabricated surfaces with a real Tiger Wood trim and color-matching ambient lighting. The seats and tracks were also custom built. Additional features include a drop-down rear-mounted T.V. screen, Classic brand gauges, an overhead console and rear side storage for Bluetooth headphones, navigation, 15-inch subwoofers, an open-notch steering wheel, and electric doors.
The retro look is a head-turner and will stun spectators at your local car show. Speaking of car shows, this 1978 Dodge Magnum has been on display at numerous top events and has received many awards. The car was most recently entered into the Grand Rapids' ArtPrize event. It was also on display at the 2017 Detroit Autorama and given the prestigious Gene Winfield “Select Six” Award at the Syracuse Nationals from 8,500 show cars. This specially built Dodge Magnum was also on the popular television car show Dream Ridez in October of 2017.
