Defiance Charger is One Badass Mopar
After that awesome Defiance preview last week I thought we’d take a closer look at the Defiance Charger. Dodge has worked with SyFy in the past–on shows like Ghost Hunters and 31 Days of Halloween–so they were first in line for this integrated video game/tv series, which was under development for five years. Dodge was very involved in the design process and approved all renderings before the final car was built. I think it looks great with power bulge and rust, and of course Chargers look great with push bars so they are a no brainer for a post-apocalyptic badass look. Under those visual mods is a relatively stock 2013 Charger. More pics after the jump! Via Jalopnik and Allpar
Don Garlits 1983 Chrysler New Yorker on Craigslist
According to the guys at BangShift, it’s actually legit, despite the seller’s claim that the “engine is from a 68 challenger.” Huh? Asking price: $50,000! Ad text and more pics after the jump! And while it’s still up, you can see the ad on New Jersey Craigslist
1967 Plymouth GTX Featured on Hemmings TV
I’ve always loved the 66/7 B-bodies, and the ’67 GTX is my favorite. This example was painstakingly restored by Doug Bolt of Orlando, Florida and recently featured on Hemmings TV. Check out the video after the jump!
Hemi Rampage
Saw this posted on Miss Mopar’s Facebook page. Kind of sad they only made the Rampage for three years–you don’t see them much anymore. And you certainly don’t see many with a Hemi stuffed between the fenders!
1968 Plymouth Road Runner on eBay
I’ve featured a few high dollar trailer queens on here. Well, how about a driver that some of us might actually be able to afford? It’s hard to find a decent Road Runner under $20,000 these days but this might just be a good example. Sure it has the wrong seats, a silly butt stripe and goofy wheels. But being from Colorado it’s probably fairly rust free, and I’d love to have it. The no reserve eBay auction ends tomorrow! Lots more pics after the jump!
Update: looks like it sold for $17,101, bid up from about $15,000 early this morning.

Movie Mopar of the Week: 1970 Dodge Challenger from Death Proof
Tarantino loves to reference other movies in his films, and the white 1970 Dodge Challenger from Death Proof overtly referenced the Challenger from Vanishing Point. All E-bodies have frameless windows so they had to weld in frames for the “masthead” stunt. You can check out the whole chase scene with the ’69 Charger after the jump!

Joe Strummer’s Lost Dodge
Dodge built a 3700 GT for the Euro market in the 70s and apparently Joe Strummer acquired one during a trip to Spain in 1984/5–a trip to get away from The Clash, which was in the process of breaking up. He then lost the Dodge in a parking garage in Madrid, which has now inspired a documentary called “I Need a Dodge.” Sound cool? Filmmaker Nick Hall is looking for funds to complete the film and is asking for donations to complete the film. Trailer after the jump!
