This is our second 1972 Dodge Dart Swinger reader’s ride this month! Pretty heavily modded, but still a bit more of a street car than Mike Moreck’s 1972 Swinger. Here’s the word from Mick:

Reader’s Rides: Doug and Glenda Young’s 2010 Plum Crazy Challenger SRT8

I just got this cool pic of these two late model Challengers nose to nose. Here’s the word from Glenda:

We live in a small town in NE.  Our neighbor, Greg Wade purchased the black RT about 3 months ago.  We have owned the PCP challenger since 2010, bought it new off the showroom. It is a SRT8  6 speed w/hurst shifter, tinted windows, cold air intake and a few other extras.  Just thought I would share this.  Doug and Glenda Young own the PCP.  Love this car.

One more pic of Doug and Glenda’s PCP Challenger after the jump!

Reader’s Rides: Steve Christensen’s 1982 Dodge Challenger

Check out Steve’s all original 1982 Dodge Challenger. These were build by Mitsubishi and sold as the Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Sapporo in the United States from 1978 to 1982. Here’s the word from Scott:

Here is a rare find. My 9th Challenger. Yes 9th. A 1982 Dodge Challenger, all original down to the am/fm non-cassette radio. A true survivor. Making this even more impressive is that the car currently has 230,000 on the clock. The car is a 5 speed, all wheel disc brakes, aluminum Road Wheels. Ok, it may not the pony car, but this Challenger does have a 2.6 liter Hemi. When I got my first second generation Challenger in Nov 1981, I went from Fife, Wa to Treasure Island San Francisco, 800 mikes at an average speed of 69 mph, fact. I have owned seven of the pony cars, all of them unique and special. The 1982 Challenger is a remarkable car. Hard to find today. It gets looks wherever it goes and people don’t realize that in the 80s Dodge had a Challenger.
