Dodge used the "Challenger" name in the late 50's for marketing the Coronet but the first true Dodge Challenger was introduced in 1970. This was Dodge's entry into the pony car race to compete against Mustangs, Camaros and other muscle cars. Fast forward to 2008 and you will see the manufacturers all returning to their roots and introducing new evolved versions of their 60s/70s muscle cars. Once again the Challenger was called upon to be a direct rival of Ford's Mustang and Chevrolet's Camaro. The first drawings and teaser photos were released online in 2005 but it wouldn't be until December 2007 that Dodge began taking orders. Production was kept fairly exclusive with all being pre-sold before production even began. They have since been quite sought after with certain versions being the collector car of the modern era. This super clean 2020 Dodge Challenger sits at the top of the list when it becomes to desirability. It goes by multiple names and is the R/T Scat Pack Widebody Shaker "Gold Rush" edition. Basically any trim, paint, or body upgrade you could get was ordered factory on this car. It is also the 50th anniversary car making it quite unique and this one is #25 out of 70. Production was very limited and this is one of those cars that in 20 years you will be seeing in "classic car" collections. The car not only has been adult owned by a single owner since new, the owner is a certified ASE and EVT master mechanic. So you can be rest assured not only has it been well maintained but anything done to the car has been done professionally. The 2,650 miles on it were only to and from car shows. It has never been raced or abused. The body is in excellent condition throughout and of coarse features that slick Gold Rush paint that has a beautiful finish. Across the upper layers including the roof it is painted a matte Black which is a nice contrast to the Gold. Adding to the aggressive exterior is that shaker hood and it has a shaker lift kit that has been installed to raise it taller through the hood than it was from the factory. Custom LED lighting has been added in the scoops which really look cool being lit up at night. The hood has also been customized with chrome Mopar hood pins. The car really looks great and the body mods that come with the widebody really give the car that tough muscle car look that lets you know it means business. All of the glass on the car is in excellent condition and has been tinted. The 20 inch rims look great on the car and with only 2,650 total original miles the Pirelli tires have a lot of life left in them. 4 wheel no drill splash guards have been added and are a nice addition to keep that paint looking good. Black Gorilla wheel locks are also in place to make sure they aren't going anywhere. Speaking of security, the stock security system has been largely improved with not just the wheel locks but motion sensors and a manual kill switch.
Underneath that very cool hood is a 6.4L SRT Hemi V8 waiting for you to unleash its 485 HP and launch this Challenger down the road. With it's low mileage everything is very clean throughout. These are excellent motors to begin with but even still the owner (once again a certified mechanic) has still found ways to improve it. From the factory the car only had the "Powered by SRT" valve cover on the passenger side but on this one the drivers side has been upgraded to match. An inline engine oil vapor catch can has also been added to increase the life of the motor and potentially help save on future costly repairs. From maintenance to upgrades everything is documented down to small details like oil/SRT filter changes at both 500 and 2500 miles. The automatic 8 speed transmission shifts smoothly and you also have the option to manual shift via the paddle shifters or console shifter when you want to be fully in control. The car sounds great and it has custom Mopar quad tips that honestly look a lot cleaner than the stock ones. Underneath the car are lift point blocks so when you put it up on a two post lift you don't have the put the weight on the body like you would normally. That shows the level of detail, love and care this owner has for the car.
The interior of the car is in excellent condition with its combination of cloth and leather upholstery. It really looks great and on the high back power bucket seats you will note the embroidered "50" for the "50th anniversary". Being what it is you can bet the car is fully loaded with all the bells and whistles like keyless entry, heated leather wrapped steering wheel, an 8.4" touch screen, 4G LTE Wi-fi hot spot and much much more. It really leaves nothing to disappoint.
Other extras that come with the car is a car cover, Weathertech floormats, a battery tender, a show sign and a mirror mounted wired in radar detector with GPS. This Challenger is truly an awesome machine and being a limited edition top of the line is one of the few modern cars that will continue to be very desirable in the future.
