Dodge 100th Anniversary Editions

Posted on by

In 1914, the Dodge brothers struck out on their own and never looked back. To commemorate their centennial, Dodge is releasing two limited production cars early in 2014 based on the Charger and the Challenger. Both cars will be available in an exclusive “High Octane” red pearl coat paint with unique 20 inch wheels and badging. The flat bottom steering wheel, formerly only available on SRT’s, is a nice touch. There are also many smaller details such as a different color “100” on the speedometers and brass colored accent stitching as a reminder of the Dodge brothers machinist heritage. See more detail at Allpar.

The Shaker hood is back. Yes, we’ve seen aftermarket versions for the Challenger, but this is a factory setup and is available on Challengers for the 2014 model year. That not good enough for you? The R/T Shaker packages includes the “Super Track Pak, with high-performance steering gear, brake linings and monotube shock absorbers, P245/45R20 Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car three-season tires and three-mode electronic stability control (ESC) with “full off” mode.” Dodge also unveiled the New Mopar ’14 Challenger–only 100 of these will be built. Last but not least, the Scat Pack is officially back! This not only includes “three Mopar-engineered stage kits arriving in Spring 2014” but a whole club package reminiscent of the original Scat Pack. Lots more pics of the Mopar booth plus the full press release after the jump!

1970 Challenger T/A Super Stock Survivor on Ebay

Posted on by

This 1970 Challenger T/A is still wearing the same paint job it raced with in 1970. With only 3,103 miles, most everything else is original too! Immediately after it was purchased, it was prepared for the drag strip. Apparently, due to a falling out between the owner and the builder, the car’s track days were very limited. The paint, the rake, the wheels and tires–just perfect. See it here on eBay. More pictures after the jump!
