A 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T with a 440-cubic-inch V8 should have enough muscle to make its rear tires tremble with fear. After all, Dodge's legendary 440 Magnum was rated at 375 horsepower when new, making it one of the nastiest engines available in…
Nov 4, at 3:08pm ET America is feeling extra patriotic the last few days, and nothing screams aggressively American quite like a Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. Well, that kind of power usually comes at a price most Americans can’t afford. Due to…

If you're in the market for a still-new Hellcat-powered Challenger, I think I may have found one of the best deals out there in this TorRed model. Sadly, it's already been sold, but there's nothing stopping you from trying to…
The Dodge Challenger story may have ended in 2023 after three generations, with the company introducing its new-age muscle car, the eighth-gen Charger, but the model lives on, and still gets a lot of attention from the petrolhead crowd. It still…
Detroit’s finest were great and all, but American muscle of the sixties and seventies didn’t have a real following outside the United States of Automobile. With one notable exception: Australia, the country where roads are longer, lonelier, and more inviting…
This car was "built especially for Michael Strahan." This is what the window sticker shows. Ordered directly by the Hall of Fame defensive end, this 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 Jailbreak Last Call (good luck remembering this designation!) is a one-of-one…
This is a project that looks like it’s been parked outside, next to other projects and under the clear sky. This can’t be good news for a vehicle that’s still in good shape, and because it needs a complete restoration,…
The Charger wasn't a big seller in its first two years on the market. Originally an upscale fastback, it moved about 37,344 units in 1966 and only 15,788 examples in 1967. In 1968, the Charger returned as a more conventional muscle car, and sales exceeded…
The Dodge Challenger arrived late to the pony-car party and still managed to steal the show. The original of 1970 shared its E-body platform with the Plymouth Barracuda and offered engines up to the 426 Hemi, along with wild colors such as Plum Crazy and Sublime. It lasted only until 1974, but it left a lasting impression, helped by its role in the 1971 film Vanishing Point. A later Challenger built by Mitsubishi in the late 1970s and early 1980s is mostly remembered as a footnote.
The modern Challenger arrived for the 2008 model year as a faithful retro recreation of the 1970 car, with a long hood, a short deck and Hemi V8 power. It was bigger and heavier than the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro, but it won fans with its style, comfort and spacious back seat. Over its long life, Dodge turned it into a horsepower showcase, adding the supercharged SRT Hellcat in 2015 and the drag-racing Demon in 2018, culminating in the Demon 170, which produced more than 1,000 horsepower on E85 fuel.
Production ended in December 2023 at the Brampton, Ontario, plant, as Stellantis moved Dodge toward the new two-door Charger. The final Last Call editions became instant collectibles, and low-mileage Hellcats and Demons now trade at prices that reflect their status as the end of an era. The Challenger went out alongside the Camaro, after giving the Mustang its toughest competition for years, and its absence has left a gap that the new Charger is meant to fill.
The feed follows the Challenger's lively afterlife: auction results, collector values, tuning stories, recall notices and any news on whether Dodge will ever revive the name. Expect plenty of classic Challengers too, from barn finds that sat for decades to concours restorations, rare factory options and big-block survivors with their original paperwork. And expect the occasional brand-new Demon 170 that never left its plastic wrap, a reminder that the last of the Hemi pony cars became investments almost as soon as they rolled off the line.
