The innovative Dodge Power Brokers dealership program formally launched last month alongside the return of the Direct Connection company-designed performance parts program. To launch the program, Dodge selected around a hundred dealerships across the country to be official Dodge Power Brokers Dealers, which includes uniquely trained sales, service and parts department staff members who can help customers add gobs of warranty-safe power.

For some dealerships, installing performance parts will be a relatively new experience, but some of these dealers have already spent time building high-performance modern Dodge products. One such dealership is Szott M-59 Dodge in Highland Township, Michigan. Szott Dodge is a long-time supporter of the huge Detroit Area Modern Mopars club, the dealership has a dynamometer on site and over the past few years, their service department and body shop have worked together to build some very cool machines.

 One of those cars is the 2007 Dodge Magnum shown here. While it began its life as an R/T, it has been so heavily modified inside and out that it isn’t fair to assign a trim level to it. This Magnum, owned by dealership CEO Tom Szott, has been transformed into a two-door supercharged panel wagon with a custom interior and a cool name – and it was almost entirely built at the dealership. 

 The idea of transforming a 2007 Dodge Magnum into a slick panel wagon was the idea of Tom Szott, who came up with the name, as well. As you approach this car at a show, such as the Detroit Autorama where it took 1st place in Street Machine Custom 1980-current in 2022, the unique exterior is what draws you in, with the rear doors and rear side windows having been removed, with the Mopar Express logo displayed along the sides where a factory Magnum has windows. The body work is so clean that it looks like it could be a factory design, finished off in the stunning deep red-orange paint. We tried our best to capture the brilliance of the paint, but it is impossible to portray how this car just glows in the sun. 

 In addition to the elaborate body transformation, this Magnum has custom side-exit exhaust, custom headlights and taillights, and Billet Specialties Bonneville Series wheels wrapped in Mickey Thompson rubber. The front wheels measure 18×7 with a 28-inch-tall tire, while the rear wheels are 20×15 with a 31-inch-tall tire.
