I just ordered a HellRaisin Scat Pack Widebody 50th Edition, totally loaded. I’m told it should be here in either March or April. I’m beyond excited to get it!
It's very tempting to get a 50th Anniversary R/T with the 5.7! I love what they have done with the interior & exterior new color schemes, I especially dig the 1970 Challenger R/T dash animation as I owned (2) '70 Challengers including a 440 auto R/T! Thanks for covering this news!
It looks cool but you can probly find similar and better wheels for your challenger and just have it wrapped or plasti dip in similar or better color for way less
In case anyone is looking for a Gold Rush w/ shaker, as of March 26, 2021, there is one over at Autonation Dodge Arapahoe in Denver (go to their website to see if it's still there). I didn't care for the Gold Rush color IRL, nor the wheels. It has a sunroof and I was banging my head on the bulge in the headliner from the track (I'm 6'-3").
I don't think Canada's getting shafted though as stated. Think about it! Only 70 in one color means in twenty or so years those will be the ultra rare ones people will be trying to find! Making the Canadian models the more valuable ones to collectors!!! So Canada will actually come out on top!
Great overview. It’s nice to see a large manufacturer release truly capable one-offs that are truly unique. They may be over 10 years old but can’t deny Dodge is still selling a lot of these.
Wish they would’ve hopped up the V6 for this model. At least an exhaust and a cold air intake. I would never buy a V6 but I think those would be cool options
Really wish they could make a small run of these and badge them as Plymouth Barracudas. Yes I know there's no Plymouth division now but there's no reason a limited run couldn't be sold out of Chrysler dealerships.
Most of my old school Mopars have been B body cars, but once did own a 74 challenger and was the only e body that I've ever had. In fact other than it and a 70 duster, they were all b-bodies. My first car was a 68 charger, and actually owned two of the gorgeous machines over the years. #1 was only a 318 car, but the second was an RT with built to the nuts 440 + added six pk and was one badass Mopar. Especially since it was a 4-speed car, and a fricken blast to drive. LOL Forget MPGs, it was more like gallons per and certainly did produce a whole lotta smiles though 💪🏼😎
Nice big cavernous interior with the Belvedere's and Fury.. Really wasn't any heavier or slower than my '70 Chally RT 440 either and plenty of room for 6. My 'Stang and Iroc were 2 seaters, period. ;)
Fair point, I love my Daytona now and the fact that it’s “limited edition” so these must invoke the same response amongst new buyers. Should be pretty sought after years later too
Yes, a little too much for some stitching and a few minor things here and there. That money could be spent on mods that make the car stand out much more.
What about the Jeep Commander? When was the last time anyone heard anything about them? I used to own one, and I'd love to see the history, pricing, specs, etc. The kind of thing that you did with the Dart, Aspen, Caliber, etc. But yeah I really would love to see that! :) Like so he can see, if you're interested!
Lets see, $5K to $6K for icing on the cake ? Me thinks not. Yet many will rush to get these vehicles. Me ? Meh, why ? For that kind of $$$, show me the beef ! Light weight package,: Racaro seats, lithium battery, etc. You know like Mustang and Camaro, really spice it up not ginger bread.
@@Karmy. The all new 1978 Challenger was a Gallant effort. ;) With 3 full speeds, (plus reverse and neutral) a lusty 114 hp and genuine front wheel drive (no jive!) these cars could reach 60 mph in 2nd gear in under 20 seconds. Although it's 85 mph speedo wouldn't tell on you C/D once recorded a one way top speed of 98 mph in a 1982 'GT' model with the big block 2.6L HO engine, upgraded to 122 hp. "Mitsubishi, takes you where you want to go."
Where does Dodge get 50 years from? I counted 24 years 1rst Gen '70 - '74 , 2nd Gen '78 - '83 , 3rd Gen '08 - '20 that's not 50 years I still like the Challenger, but 50 years is a lie. I like the truth. 2021 will make 25 years. Vanishing Point Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the 50th Anniversary Editions are too limited. Why not offer them to all-comers with equal opportunity? I tried ordering one from the North West's largest dealer and I was told basically to get lost. I have a 2017 Camaro 2SS with every option which I special ordered with Chevy home-office help. The window sticker was filled ! So Dodge, Chevy sold over 5,000 50th Anniversary Camaros. That brings a lot of money to the Corporation. And MANY happy customers.
I believe the produced more of added colors since they early ones sold.out ..they carry same challenger 50 in grill and on rear spoiler..but they don't have shaker hoods or dash plate with Production numbers 0-70 for each trim ND color ..so u have 50th cormmerative ..and 50th anniversity that are numbered only
Well I say congrats to the designers this is a very appealing and artful edition of the Challenger, I am partial to the GoldRush; will be interesting to see how fast the orders are placed.
I like the V8 widebody with the coloured shaker hood. Dodge is economically smart to milk that design and just tweak the looks, options and power. Enthusiast cars don't need a complete new look every 4 years, it's a waste of money. Imagine drastically changing your house that often (wasteful). Thumbs up dodge.
I rather have an increase in horsepower instead of all the cosmetic BS touches. Dodge really need to bump up the 6.4 HP to at least 510 to 540. The are getting left behind.
If the bump up hspwr of 392 it'll be SRT all over again, they'll price it right out of the market once taxes, option & Insurance is concerned.... a few will pay 4 a few extra horses vs a standard scat but an advertised 500+ will put ya in whole new tax bracket, they'll force options to justify it, like there are still mopar 17 shakers setting on lots with ppl trying figure why there still trying sale a 3 yr old specialty model, it never moved!! ppl got financing for moderately loaded or basic scat instead, 50,000 is used hellcat terrority....
Yeah but they will only be made 1 year. I wish I had the money to buy one and let it sit for 50 years so I would have a 1 year production car with no mileage on it
A little help for the aged HEMI would be nice, how about a Stage 2 dealer installed kit for a msrp of $1495? The parts have been there for a decade. The 392 is 9 years old, could use a retune also...I'm getting tired of paint, decals, wheels and nothing else. Two years to go, make them SPECIAL!
What about the 1320 scatpak that model is special and until the C8 vette comes out the fastest naturally aspirated car from the factory,so it’s not just stickers and wheels.
You'll have your chance. There will be at least 3 more years of production, just like they are now. They haven't changed at all since 2015 (Aug 2014 build). Save your money. It will happen. Unless you decide you really want an electric Mach One. That's not a razor... ;)
It was for a year or two (can’t remember exactly for the Challenger but definitely for the Charger) then they switched back and made SXT Awd again for whatever reason
What about the Jeep Commander? When was the last time anyone heard anything about them? I used to own one, and I'd love to see the history, pricing, specs, etc. The kind of thing that you did with the Dart, Aspen, Caliber, etc. But yeah I really would love to see that! :) Like so he can see, if you're interested!
They should produce ten more units so the total comes out to 1970. The year the car was introduced
Yea why 1960, doesn't make sense, does someone have a rational answer?
70 in each color
Exactly
Maybe when it was a concept car
Finally wheels in a color other than black.

Agree pretty neat touches like the low numbers on each paint code and the theme continues on everthing. It is pretty pricey though.
Yeah I’d like to see more features for $5-6k but they will be coveted in the future for sure like the past Daytonas and Super Bees were

If it's not broke.
@silverbird58 wtf a split bench in a muscle car? What a dumbass.
I’m hoping to order one if the dealer doesn’t jack up the price.
It looks cool but you can probly find similar and better wheels for your challenger and just have it wrapped or plasti dip in similar or better color for way less
I have a 50th widebody and believe me the wheels look awesome in person.
That Gold rush SP Shaker is bad ass looking
Finally someone that knows the slant six came in a Challenger
The Slant-6 was Cryslers main car engine from 1959-1983. It was in everything.
I have one in my 71 Challenger, would never change it
