The Mopar Top Eliminator Program is Back!

This will be the seventh season of the Top Eliminator program, which honers the best Mopar restorers and modifiers. A total of four winners will be selected in 2013. Two winners will be chosen from competitions at Mopars in the Park and the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals. A third will will be picked from drag cars at the NHRA U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis. And this is super cool: a fourth will be chosen online. Builders can upload pics of their Mopars and people will vote to determine the winner. More details at Chyrsler.com

Below is the 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 owned by Tom Ledoux of Pearland, Texas which won last year.

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!

Dodge Charger and Challenger Most Popular Muscle Cars

Most popular in terms of search traffic, anyway. That’s according to Cars-On-Line, who claims that 18.5% of buyers are searching for Chargers and 15.7% are searching for Challengers. This seems a bit high to me, but hey, there is no question that Chargers and Challengers are popular (nevermind the fact many people seem to confuse the two). I assume, too, that this would include late-model Chargers and Challengers. Anyway, I showed you that awesome Hemi Charger yesterday, so how about this beautiful purple 4-speed 1970 Dodge Challenger RT/SE, for sale via Cars-On-Line.
