Dodge’s Five Year Plan

Big news today out of Chrysler Fiat: “the SRT family of vehicles will be consolidated under the Dodge brand.” We never understood why SRT was spun off in the first place, so this makes sense to us.

So how about the next five years? Well, the Dart will finally get the SRT treatment for 2016. We all also see an all-new Journey in 2016. Then, in 2018 we will see an all-new Charger and Challenger. Meanwhile, the Avenger will be killed off this year and the Grand Caravan will go away in 2016. Press release after the jump!

One Owner 1970 Plymouth Superbird

First of all: THIS CAR IS NOT FOR SALE. Now: you are looking at a one owner 1970 Plymouth Superbird in near perfect condition with just one repaint.

Chrysler Registers “Rebel” Trademark

Jalopnik reports that Chrysler has recently filed to trademark the name “Rebel” and it appears to have done so with the intent of using it in the future as opposed to protecting past AMC cars with that nameplate. Whether it is for a new model or a trim/package on an existing model (Charger Rebel? Wrangler Rebel? Caravan Rebel?), only time will tell.

1962 Chrysler 300 in the Charles Kee Collection

The next car we are featuring looks like it was one of Charles Kee’s personal cars he wanted to keep. It is a 1962 Chrysler 300 2-door with a big block engine. This is a really nice car, and like many others, Charles Kee put blankets over the dash and seats to preserve them from the desert sun.

Funds raised are to go to the LA Family Housing charity that helps families escape from homelessness and poverty. Find more info at CarBuzz. I always pictured Superman as more of a Viper guy.

SRT Challenger Hellcat Spotted

Update: Motor Trend Calls BS on these Spy Shots

LeftLane has some photos of what appears to be the 2015 Challenger Hellcat, replete with bulging hood and cold air intake. Now that the “run-of-the-mill” 2015 Challengers have been released, they seem to have relaxed their guard re the front and rear covers. The unique hood is a tip off to something special lurking beneath. You can also see SRT on the wheel centers with some serious Brembo brake calipers behind. More pics after the jump!
