Mr. Norms 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T 426 Hemi

You’re looking at a 1971 triple black Dodge Challenger R/T equipped with a 426 Hemi and a 4-speed that was sold new at Norm Kraus’ Grand Spaulding Dodge in Chicago. This one is all business and there are indications that it was driven hard early in its life. I like that. See more detail at Muscle Car of the Week. Video after the jump!

Buy a New 1970 Dodge Charger….Wallet

Don’t know what to get the Mopar nut short of a way-too-expensive 1970 Dodge Charger R/T? How about a wallet made from the same vinyl material as the Charger’s seats? Apparently, Couch Guitar Straps found some NOS or maybe aftermarket seat vinyl and decided to make wallets out of it. I want one just because of the description: “Made in the USA. Handmade by dudes in California on some serious heavy duty machinery who drive motorcycles and scooters and old American Vans and Japanese hybrids and listen to King Tuff and play guitar after work.” Find more info at The Truth About Cars.

Batman Inspired Dodge Challenger

What would a graphic designer, when not creating superhero adventures as a comic book artist, or designing paint schemes for the likes of Hennessey Performance, Scion Racing, Turner Motorsports or Meguiar’s, drive as his personal car? How about a Batman inspired Dodge Challenger? John Sibal’s 2009 Challenger features a black and brushed gold paint scheme, a shaker intake setup, a Zoomers cat-back exhaust and an Air Runners airbag system. In a deep, guttural, slow voice “I’m Batman”. Find more info at Hot Rod. Photos are by our good buddy Larry Chen. More pics after the jump!

2015 Dodge Challenger News

Allpar probably has the most thorough coverage of the upcoming and highly anticipated 2015 Dodge Challenger. The big story is the new Hellcat 6.2 liter supercharged Hemi, which is rumored to produce a whopping 660 horsepower and 640 lb-ft of torque. Other changes will include an 8-speed automatic and a refreshed interior complete with some of the modern electronics and gadgets found in other Chrysler products (UConnect 2, a backup camera, etc.). Exterior changes will probably be somewhat minor, though the Hellcat will require added air intakes. We will keep you updates as we learn more.
