Car enthusiasts passionate about old-school Mopars were undoubtedly waiting patiently for Chrysler to resurrect the two-door Charger. But despite their expectations, a short-wheelbase version never made it to the production line.
The owner of this particular Charger was one of many enthusiasts disappointed with this decision, but if Chrysler wouldn’t give him what he wanted, then he would build it himself (or with the help of a professional shop capable of performing such a complicated project). That’s exactly how this two-door Charger conversion project started. Read on to find out more!
Charger Heritage
Chrysler decided to build their own inexpensive sporty car in 1965 to get the piece of the market dominated by Ford Mustang at the time and called it the Dodge Charger. It had an unusually aerodynamic shape, and tons of cool features, including hidden headlights.
The 1969 version of the car was featured in the popular “Dukes of Hazzard” TV show. But the oil crisis hit and lots of powerful cars with big hungry motors simply died. Chrysler had to make changes to stay afloat, so the company started offering sporty economy cars with the Charger nameplate.
After staying dormant for almost two decades, the Charger nameplate was back in 2005. This time it was a 4-door sedan based on the Chrysler LX platform.
Even though it was powered by a powerful enough motor, it looked more like a family sedan rather than a muscle car.
2-Door Conversion
Returning to the origin of the model, a car enthusiast and big Mopar fan from Texas decided to convert this 2013 Charger back into a two-door coupe to showcase it at SEMA show.
All the mods were done by the Supernatural Designz shop in Brownsville, TX. You may want this car if you want really to stand out from the crowd. It immediately grabs attention at any car show with its flashy black and orange camo wrap.
Wide body Kit
Besides two-door conversion with deleted B-pillars, 4″ rear and 2″ front widebody kits were installed. The hood features a custom clear acrylic insert at the center.
The 24″ Staggered Intro Design gloss black aluminum wheels have orange accents on them, and even tires have orange lettering.
The suspension was dropped 2 inches with the help of Eibach lowering kit.
The interior features lots of orange trim elements matching the exterior color theme. Custom black leather seats are ornamented with contrasting orange diamond stitching.
But the biggest mod inside is the sick Db Drive Pro audio system with 4 amps and 3 10-inch subwoofers at the back. The useful cargo space under the motorized trunk lid is framed with custom acrylic panels with LED lighting.

Conclusion
This Charger proves that some builds go way beyond the usual wheel-and-suspension formula. The two-door conversion alone pushed both exterior and interior scores to perfect 10s – something we rarely see. While the Eibach-dropped stance adds a modest 3 points and the engine bay remains untouched, this beast was clearly built to turn heads, not tear up tracks.

Converting a modern Charger into a two-door is like performing surgery on a car – it takes serious skill, deep pockets, and nerves of steel.
But when a Texas gearhead dreams of a car Detroit won’t build, sometimes you’ve got to take matters into your own hands. This SEMA showstopper proves that with enough determination (and a seriously talented shop), you can build the modern Charger coupe Mopar fans have been craving since 2006.
