Replying to: badness (Feb 15, 2006 11:46 am) Here's one for sale (1970 Challenger R/T) -- heck they'll even deliver it for slightly over $200K: http://www.bibliauto.com/store/proddetail.php?prod=Challenger70&cat=173 Also, the recent Barret-Jackson auction had a couple... http://www.barrett-jackson.com/auctionresults/common/collector.asp

Unlike the hideous midget Charger with the Dakota grill, the prototype Challenger appears to have some sheet metal DNA from the original Challenger. My question is will DCX pull another Bait&Switch routine like they did after parading the sleek, eye-catching, and aerodynamic 1999 Charger prototype to auto shows, only to roll out the stubby Checker Cab Charger. If DCX management intends to insult true Mopar enthusiasts by serving an Egg McMuffin again, after showing us a Sirloin Steak, they can keep it.

| Since I remember Dodge Division came with the best performance cars, it is time to go back to the good times!!!. | |

The teasing new Challenger seems to be more of a retro-Plymouth Barracuda to my eye. I note the filler panel in front of the leading edge of the hood, the way the rear quarter comes up to the hip, the rear taillight, all seem more Barracuda-esc to my eye. Regardless, I think its beautiful even if they called it a Meadowbrook! Regards, Dusty |

| Anyone notice the the yellow and red side marker lights on the Challenger were stickers? | |
| If Dodge puts it out as designed, then they could have a real winner. It has similar lines to the old Challenger but with some new softening. Kind of like the current Mustang versus the first year Mach 1. Not quite the same but you can tell the linage! | |

You may have the body looking like a 70's Cuda, but everything else will be totally different then the old ones. This is a good thing, because they were great in a straight line, but handled like a tank in the corners and on back roads. In snow, well take a bus to where ever you wanted to go to get there. If Dodge builds it, then they will sell. With the technology of to day you should have a car that not only will go fast but handle and ride much much better then in the 70's. The gas mileage should be double of what we got back then. Yes i had one in 1970 and that Cuda only got 10 miles to the gallon on the hiway and lucky to get 4 when you were pushing it hard. It was a sleeper with 340 in a black stripe down the back quarter panel, but that orange body had a 440 with the six pack, four speed and 4.11 gears. Sure wish i still had it to sell on e-bay so i could afford to buy the new one when it comes out. |
