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!

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!
Watch the Transformation of the Defiance Charger
Defiance is a new post-apocalpytic show on the Syfy channel. I haven’t seen it yet but this new trailer looks cool, especially since it features a Dodge Charger transforming into some kind of Mad Max zombie killler. Check out the trailer after the jump!
Tons of Cool Mopars in New Pennzoil Commercial
Saw this on TV while getting a haircut last week. Love the old Challenger and ’66 Satellite convertible! Check it out after the jump!
2015 Dodge Charger
Allpar has some interesting stuff on the 2015 Dodge Charger. They are currently expecting a mild refresh for 2015 to carry over until the big RWD Chrysler cars are completely redesigned (somewhere in the 2017 to 2020 range). Right now they are expecting a 6.2 liter Hemi pushing around 580 horsepower, updated electronics such as UConnect 2, Via Mobile and parking aids, eight-speed trannies for all motors (not just the V6 cans) and perhaps some suspension tuning. The rendering below shows some influence by the Maserati Ghibli. You can read more at Allpar

ICON Dodge Powerwagon D200: Coolest Truck Ever?
A lot has been written about this truck, unveiled at SEMA last year. But check out the video after the jump where Jonathan Ward talks about his awesome creation.
Movie Mopar of the Week: 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T from Vanishing Point
Could Vanishing Point be the most famous Mopar movie of all time? I would say yes. Not a whole lot to add. If you want to read about the cars used in the movie this seems like a good resource. Or if you want, just watch the grande finale after the jump!
