Changes: 1971 Dodge Charger (Torpedoes)

Revision as of 01:47, 16 November 2019

Description

The 1971 Dodge Charger was characterized by a new split grille and more rounded "fuselage" bodystyle. The hidden headlights were now optional. A rear spoiler and a "Ramcharger" hood were new options. This hood featured a pop-up scoop mounted above the air cleaner controlled by a vacuum switch under the dash. The 1971 model year was also the last for the 440 Six-Pack engine (440 cu or 7.2 L), which could still be mated to a Hurst 4-speed transmission, as well as the automatic. In the Super Bee's final year, the 340 became a $44 (€40) option over the standard, low-compression 383. The 340 had three two-barrel carburetors and a rating of 390 hp (290 kW).

This die-cast model is an obviously 'tooned version of the classic muscle car and was part of the 2005 Torpedoes subseries. The Torpedo style was a new cartoon style introduced in 2005 and depicts a car in a skinny, Torpedo-like shape with outboard wheels. These unique vehicles perform well on track sets but the exposed wheels make them more susceptible to bending axles. They are better suited for gravity-driven tracks than Wall Tracks or tracks with a Booster.

+The '''1971 Dodge Charger''' was characterized by a new split grille and more rounded "fuselage" bodystyle. The hidden headlights were now optional. A rear spoiler and a "Ramcharger" hood were new options. This hood featured a pop-up scoop mounted above the air cleaner controlled by a vacuum switch under the dash. The 1971 model year was also the last for the 440 Six-Pack engine (440 cu or 7.2 L), which could still be mated to a Hurst 4-speed transmission, as well as the automatic.

-The '''1971 Dodge Charger''' is an obviously 'tooned' version of the classic muscle car and was part of the Torpedoes series(#2 of 10). The ''Torpedo'' style was a new cartoon style introduced in 2005 and depicts a car in a skinny, ''Torpedo''-like shape with outboard wheels. These unique vehicles should perform well on track sets but the exposed wheels make them more susceptible to bending axles. They're probably better suited for gravity-driven tracks than Wall Tracks or tracks with a [[Booster]]. This series appears to be loosely based off of the 2003 Kawasaki ZXR-9 Concept. Re-releases of Torpedoes vehicles have been somewhat limited, if existent at all.
