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

Posted on by

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!

Triple Black

Posted on by

Most people agree that triple black = black paint, black interior and black vinyl top (or black convertible top). Makes for one mean combo, especially on a Mopar. There was a great thread on this option combo on Moparts recently, with pics of some very cool Mopars like this triple black 1968 Dodge Cornonet R/T. More examples after the jump, including triple black ‘Cudas and Challengers!

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

Posted on by

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.

Vintage Mopar NASCARs To Be Featured at the Concours d’Elegance of America

Posted on by

This year’s Concours d’Elegance of America at St. John’s will feature vintage NASCARs, including several very cool Mopars. Pictured below is the 1970 Plymouth Superbird formerly raced by Ramo Stott, which apparently was the first Superbird to score a victory in a NASCAR-sanctioned event at the 1970 ARCA 300 at Daytona. After the jump I have a pic of a very cool 1972 Dodge Challenger “Kit Car” developed by Petty Enterprises to help aspiring circle track racers. You can read a lot more about these cars and the other non-Mopar NASCARs to be displayed over at Hemmings.

Running on Empty 1970 Dodge Challenger on eBay

Posted on by

Running on Empty is an Australian cult car movie from 1982 which featured a pretty wild 1970 Dodge Challenger. Well, that car is on eBay now, and the seller claims it’s a numbers matching 440 6-pack car, too! Obviously it’s a right-hand drive car, and the Buy It Now is $149,000 Australian (about $137,000 US dollars). Lots more pics after the jump, along with the original movie, which someone uploaded to YouTube in its entirety. So check out the pics and then make some popcorn and watch!

Reader’s Rides: Sebastian Kraft’s 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T

Posted on by

Sebastian bought this very original looking California car in Hamburg, Germany, and it currently resides with him in Dresden. Can you imagine this burly American muscle on German roads? Must scare the crap out of AMGs and Porsches. It’s a numbers matching 4-speed 383 car. Sebastian added a Magnaflow X-pipe for a little extra growl. You may notice from the pics that he also owns a 1968 Dodge Charger…
