The 1986 Dodge Charger wasn’t the big V8 muscle car of the past—it was a smaller, front-wheel-drive hatchback that packed a punch, especially in Shelby-tuned Turbo models. If you’re keeping one of these on the road, you’ll want to check the brake system, turbo components, and weatherstripping, as those are some of the most common failure points. A weak spot on these cars? The electronic dash and gauge cluster. If your speedometer or tachometer is acting up, you’re not alone—these old electronics tend to wear out. And don’t forget about the suspension—if your Charger is riding rough, a fresh set of struts and bushings will make a world of difference.
