What a sleek beauty. I think there may have been a HotWheels version of the Charger III at some point in the late 60s or early 70s. Some design elements were changed and Mattel renamed it Torero...
I agree the Viper is the closest thing to a "Charger IV', ie. successor to the Charger III. It's too bad they sucked up to Ford heritage instead. I thought they were being diabolical and trying to get a piece of the pie from AC Cobra collector car buyers. However the story I heard is, Chrysler employees were riding around in a Cobra and said a new car should be made with a similar vibe.
Love love love these vids!!

Thanks for the great comment
Great concept! At least Matchbox put it into production. 😛
I think I had one of those! Great car.
Wow!
Looks like a cross between a corvette and a tornado
It's side profile is definitely ahead of it's time, that canopy would never work in a production car though (i.e Lincoln L100).

The blueprint for the Ferrari 512 S. Pininfarina Prototype from 1969. The best of all sleek canopy experimental cars. Where is it today?
