Dodge Challenger Concept Car Is So Sweet
I grew up in the 60’s and started driving back in the mid 70’s so cars from the late 60’s and early 70’s were the first ones I was looking at when I started to drive. Some of the more sought after cars were the 1969 Camaro, the 1970 Roadrunner and of course the 1970 Challenger and Barracuda.
Well, I was quite excited when I first read the news that Dodge was reintroducing the Challenger once again with their announcement of the Challenger concept car. After seeing pictures of it I thought, now that I can afford a new car, I had to have one of these.
I actually saw a picture of the Challenger first before I read anything about it and thought it was a Barracuda, although Plymouth is now defunct. It reminds me more of a Barracuda than a Challenger. The rear end looks more like the Barracuda of the 70’s and the new concept car is sans that hideous vinyl top included on the 1970 Challenger.
Unfortunately this sweet little nostalgic ride won’t be in showrooms until 2008 so there isn’t any info on price or performance at present. I guess it’s just going to be something us 70’s muscle car fans will have to wait for.
