Old School Soul, New School Muscle
“Always try to be a better version of yourself than the day before. And stay humble.”
— Dwan “Mamba” Harris
In the heart of North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, lives a builder whose passion for horsepower runs deep. At 47, Dwan “Mamba” Harris has already created six show cars—imports, lowriders, muscle, you name it. He’s traveled coast to coast sharing his builds and soaking in the culture that raised him.
His latest machine, a menacing 2023 Dodge Charger Scat Pack Widebody, is more than a showpiece. It’s a tribute—to legacy, to vision, and to the car culture that shaped him. With plans for a SEMA 2025 debut, this one hits harder than the rest.
A Legacy on Four Wheels
Dwan’s automotive passion began with his father, a lifelong car enthusiast who passed away in 2020.
“I’ve been around cars since I was a kid,” Dwan says. “Cars, trucks, bikes—anything with wheels. My dad introduced me to it all. That passion’s never left.”
From competitive karting to earning the title of 2017 Flat Kart Champion, Dwan has lived a life centered on speed and detail. His newest build is a continuation of that legacy.
Building the “Ghoul”
The inspiration? A joke.
On April 1st, MotorTrend posted a spoof rendering of a Hellcat Widebody ‘Ghoul’ concept—wild lines, aggressive stance, the whole fantasy package. But instead of laughing it off, Dwan archived the idea.
“When Dodge dropped the Last Call lineup, that Ghoul concept came back to me. It was time to build my own version.”
He ordered a 2023 Charger Scat Pack Widebody, bone stock, and began a transformation rooted in Mopar history and modern aggression.
Finished in F8 Green, a classic 1970s Dodge color, the Ghoul Bee blends vintage soul with futuristic power.
“I build with a full plan before the car even arrives. Color, theme, stance, drivetrain—it’s all mapped out. Of course things change, but the plan starts early.”
Under the Hood: Controlled Chaos
This isn’t a cosmetic build—this one bites.
The Charger now houses a fully forged 426ci HEMI, topped with a 3.0L supercharger. Supporting upgrades include:
- Blower cam
- Ported & polished heads
- Upgraded injectors
- Stainless Works long-tube headers
- High-flow catalytic converters
- AWE Tuning performance exhaust
To handle the power, Dwan pairs the engine with a reinforced suspension:
- RDM Builds upper control arms
- Petty Garage 1.25” lowering coils
- Wheel-hop eliminator kit
A 1-of-1 set of TIS Street Wheels wrapped in wide 315-series rubber keeps the Ghoul Bee planted.
Factory Brembo 6-piston fronts and 4-piston rears bring everything to a halt when needed.
Inside the Cabin: Refined Muscle
The interior is a blend of motorsport inspiration and modern refinement.
- Katzkin premium leather on seats, doors, and console (installed by Dalas Upholstery)
- Color-matched Barton pistol-grip shifter
- Yellow-faced US Speedo gauges
- Carbon fiber trim accents
It’s not flashy. It’s intentional.
Exterior Details: Wrapped With Purpose
Wrapped by Prodigious Wrap Co., the Ghoul Bee features:
- Full carbon fiber lip kit
- Candy green mirror caps
- Hellcat Redeye rear spoiler
- Mopar hood pins installed by Steve White Motors
- Ikon Motorsports upper grille with snorkel lighting
- Functional cold-air routing integrated into the grille
Every detail has a story—and every piece has a purpose.
Build Partners & Teamwork
While Dwan tackles much of the interior and specialty installs himself, he credits the following partners:
- Modern Muscle Extreme – Engine build & install
- One Stop Truck & Auto – Suspension & powder coating
- 336 Detailing – Paint correction & maintenance
- Steve White Motors – Springs & hood pins
- Prodigious Wrap Co. – Wrap install
“No, I’m not selling it,” Dwan laughs. “Every build means something to me. This one especially.”

Community Roots

“The car scene is home,” he says. “It’s where you meet people who feel like family. No clubs, no bars—just passion and good energy.”

“Always build for you. And put your best face forward—you never know who’s watching.”
