Turning An ABANDONED Police Impounded 2008 Dodge Magnum Into the ULTIMATE HELLCAT SLEEPER!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I bought an abandoned 2008 Dodge Magnum from a subscriber that bought it from the police impound. It has been sitting on the side of the shop just waiting for new life to be breathed into it, and since I had a full Hellcat swap laying around from a 2020 wide body Charger I bought from a local dealership after somebody wrecked it. It only made sense to put the two cars together and have a new daily for awhile.

How about the newer 300c front-end change it up. Ijs
My Dad always had wagons when I was growing up. Loved them ever since. Hot rodded a couple of chev caprice wagons, but I fell in love with the magnums when they came out. What you’re doing to them brings them to a whole other level! I absolutely love the end result of yours! Thanks so much for sharing your builds Dave!

Thanks 👍
Leave that front end alone because it is so rare for the Magnums. That front end is my favorite style. If it was the 2007 and earlier then go ahead and swap it to whatever to make it different. I would like to see 300 front end.

Bro that front is hideous just my opinion tho
Had my 07 Magnum for 17 year and had no issues with any of the things you mentioned. I will own another one on day!
What? No way... He started a new project before finishing any of the other 7.
6.1 never had cam/lifter problems, that started with the VVT motors
That new color is fire and i can see the flakes in the paint on camera. It all depends on the angle of the camera to see it clearly.
I can't wait to see how this one turns out and you definitely got to do new videos on the GTO because hearing it again was awesome!!😇
Please leave the 08 front end and maybe update the interior. To me that would be the best of both worlds to me.
Do what ever you want with em man, i just enjoy watching you work and i'm learning so much from it ❤
Awesome job Dave. I love to see you work.
Bro look up the 08 magnum SRT8 look that's the best look . It's mean looking it has the hood scoop and waffle grille
The little poke out looks good tho dave
I love your content. Slow and Steady Wins The Race. You always do things the right way.
It looks amazing! I love the fact that you are so fruga in your builds that you even saved the washer fluid. I just love wagons
You should put a challenger front end on that one. It would be tough.

Glad you enjoyed it
I agree, how do you do so much and make it look so easy..guess when you do it right it looks that way. Masterful work
Put a 300 front clip on it!
Love the intro to the video
Absolutely love it!!. Wish I could do my Magnum like that 😢
Dave, have you seen the truck conversion kits to turn a Charger into an El Camino style pickup? It would be cool to see you do one with a Hellcat powertrain. You could use it as a parts runner and put old school looking Junkyard Dave logos on it.

Very cool build 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love the video so far and I’m only at 4 minutes. Loving this go pro cam
I always wanted a magnum since the day they came out. Seen an srt that was black with dark gray stripes and loved it. But I had a toddler when they came out and driving a 92 camaro with 170k on it. So there was no way I was going to be able to afford one. Now they are impossible to find in decent shape with non insane mileage for an affordable price in PA. And yet here my man is building another badass magnum. Guess I’ll live through this channel. Lol
Love to win one. I miss my 2006 Magnum RT AWD.
Excellent repair and restoration!! Cool seeing you effortless tear apart this chassis like you built one from scratch! 😉
Being it's an 08, I'd like to see you keep the stock nose. If it was an early one, not so much.
What a fun color! You're off to a great start with this one!
and i can't wait to c u drive it u make it look so simple
Damn you’re good!
Been waiting for this day to come...you use her as a guinea pig long enough ❤😂❤😂
Reminds me of a model car magnum my brother had years ago with that yellow like gold. He loved that model car. Hope you paint it all that color.
WOW! I have a 2008 Please do this to my Car!
Just wauw, thats gonna be a ripper hehe. Big Up!
DAVE! Stop doing these, watching these is an addiction because I know I myself can't get it done but you're always doing quality work, it's amazing, and I can't look away. 😂 If I could put a 392 in mine I would. I've had my 07' since 2008, got 144k on my 3.5 V6, and it's done pretty much everything. Travel, autocross, track days, etc. They sure are versatile. Keep it up, looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
Omg Dave another one wow
Can I bring my Maggie over? I’ll buy the pizza and beer
I loved my 5.7 Magnum but the transmission, brakes and half-shafts were definitely not the best. I like what I'm seeing!
The next build is "plumb crazy"
Youre a pro at doing these by now😂
The SS is his best sounding car. It normally aspirated and just sounds nasty for motor only. I’ve always liked the sound of an LS engine with a good exhaust. You could always put the aftermarket wide body fender flairs on this one so you can run a wider tire. No need to go all crazy on this build.
Should do the challenger front end swap, I've seen a couple and I think it looks super good.
Will you ever work on the Durango? Also will be nice to see more videos from you.
It's a shame we don't have this in Scotland 😢
Let's name it.....Schlager
Hey Dave love your channel but for the love of God please finish the vr4 . We've watched a hellcat magnum build for the last 4 years and now your doing it again. It's bad ass for sure. No one on KZread is doing justice for the vr4. Do that for us please 🙏 thankyou
Me feeling a sense of accomplishment because I put a Lego car together. Dave, Hold my beer!
The Stripper 💃soundtrack while undercoating her was a bit contradictory 😜. Awesome color choice for rest of bay.
I would love a sleeper one like that, sweet
That paint color is nice , putting it over the black paint probably makes it a nicer color too. 😎
I do appreciate the new music for time lapses
If 08 srt front bumpers and parts werent an absolute nightmare to find id definitely vote to get the srt front. Hopefully you keep it 08 as so few exist anymore. And for the love of god if you swap the front end dont cut up the 08 fenders they are sparce as hell to find for sale.
you should keep the 08 look. they only made that body style for 08. but if you do switch it up do the 11-14 srt charger front end since youve already got a magnum with the 15+ front end. just my opinion
reminds me of the E46 M3 yellow
Morning dave
Hay Dave. The Charge Magnum convert is called a Chargum.
Car looks amazing.. If anything, you should sell not give away.. Your time, and parts etc are not cheap. At least you can recoup some of what it cost you to do this type of work.
After you finish this one - let's work together on mine! BUILD THEM / GIVE THEM AWAY / SELL THEM - ALL OF THE ABOVE!
Great job Dave! It's going to be cool :o)
good video, lots of progression and not much chatter
Dave ur officially the Hellcat Dr.
I second the 300s front swap srt version if there was such a thing (i know the first Gen had one but not sure of second gen)
O.k. Dave. I have a 2005 R/t Magnum with the standard 5.7 hemi. Would love to turn it into a Redeye sleepsr. Interested? Let me know. You are a mopar mad genius!

Plan on spending 50k
You make it look so easy…🤦🏾♂️🔥
You should definitely sell those swaps for profit!
I'd suggest to keep the 2010 Magnum SRT8 front end because I LOVE sleepers, but the new model 300 SRT front end is what I vision this with.
Goals!!
Love magnums. When are you gonna get back to the Keller?
You should do the 300S front clip
What about the srt8 front end dave?
I have been waiting for this build. If you do the giveaway , I will 100% entering it. Like I said I have owned 4 diff Magnums 2 R/Ts and 2 SRT8s. I would love to win are buy one if you do as you said. I wish Dodge would have under coated them when they was being built. I looked all over for a Magnum at the first of the year never could find one they was worth owning, Im not like I was 15 years ago.. In 1993 lost both my legs above the knees at my job. I got into drag racing When i stop racing I was making passes of 7.65@165. Anyway I end up buying a 2019 Dodge Challenger has the v6 only 50,000 miles. I heard it cost a lot to have a HellCat motor put in one. But I love the Magnum. Can't wait to see this one to be built.
The 05-10 charger SRT8 front end on the magnum would look pretty dang sick in my opinion with the newer charger side mirrors.
GTO! Gran Turismo Omologato! Very nice!
I hope he keeps the og front grill
That looks really good, is the whole car gonna be the same color?
That certainly is flakey, your just shy of Bass boat flakey 😎It looks really good though. 👍

Thanks 👍 I was almost going to do a black base with larger flake but decided to do this color
I want to buy it. I miss my 06 clifford
Hey Dave when are you going to get back to the woodie wagon you started on Thanks Eric
Sign me up for the give away when it's time!!! I currently have a 08 Magnum SXT but I would love to have hellcat swap Magnum! Hell I would even like to purchase it..
Men you are leaving my dream to be able to do all that.
It would look awesome if you leave the original front end on it and are able to retrofit the widebody pieces onto it
Please no redo of your other one falling off the lift!!! 😂
like this type of video
Hey Dave, when are you going to bring back Sunday afternoon live?
You should be able to build one of these in your sleep by now.
Put a 300 or challenger front end on it
you do great work. sell em.
