Nice picture Allen. Which one is Mark A?
Patrick
Mark is the guy that is seated. The guy standing is a friend named Eric, and the seated girl is Eric's girlfriend at the time. I still need to get you more old pictures... did I ever send you any yet?
You can email me at: xs29j8@charter.net

I would really appreciate Allen if you could copy and mail any pictures of the Challengers from the early 80's. I would gladly cover your cost.
Mark is trying to locate pictures of the car when it had its racing paint job on it right before he did the restoration. I hope he can!!

Patrick - I will start looking for pictures of your car again. I even have one or two with the racing paint job, but it believe it was partially covered with a tarp. Please email me at the above address so we can talk directly...Thanks - Allen Here is a link on a GM oriented forum... interesting exchange between the bowtie faithful... http://www.gminsidenews.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=22971Sounds like most of them like it... maybe enough to buy one?!?

Just in case the corp. guys are watching, here is my You make a hemi with a 6-speed in this car and I will buy one. If it's still a MB auto (expensive, complex mess), I will not. Make mine Black with a White interior, Shaker, ducktail, and as few electromechanical band-aids (no ABS, Suspension, etc.) as possible. Oh, and if you think the Bullitt did well, make a Vanishing Point version with Rallyes...

If that car is built...and if it is priced below 30K...DCX will have a hit. That is a great looking car!!

My wife says, "Is THAT cool looking?" I said, "Heck yeah!!!" What this tells me, is that someone inside Dodge actually knows what should be built. Too bad it took a bastardization of an American icon (Charger) to get the message to someone important enough to see the light. While I can't afford either one right now, they did almost have me sold on the new Charger idea, only because it was the cheapest LX out there and the Daytona package with its tacked on black stuff, imho, helps the poor thing out. Plus, once you are inside and driving, you can't see how unattractive the outside is. It's not one of those cars you turn around to look at as you're walking inside from the parking lot. But, this Challenger concept, I give it 2 drools and a dancing banana! (as long as real people can fit into the back seat, unlike the Mustang....) plus a bonus black marks

Let me get this straight. Ford has a Mustang, Pontiac has a GTO, Dodge is considereing a Challenger. All we need now is Chevy to come back with a all new Camaro and its 1970 all over again! Muscle car wars are back!!!

[...also the rear window angles look a little off ...
yes they do look very different, in the one pic the quarter glass looks like stock 70 glass and in the other its pretty different, not as narrow on the top.
I guess I assumed this wasnt a hoax b/c of the website it's on (and other sites) but on second thought maybe we have to wait and see if this if for real...

the insiders on allpar are not denying this as the real thing. one of them stated we will see it soon (Naias im assuming). The best part about this is that supposedly it's LX based and not LY so we may see it in production form sooner than expected. I guess DCX has called all of our "build a two door, Hemi powered, Mustang fighter and ill buy one right now" bluffs. So bust out the check books boys and girls, it's time to go mustang hunting.

Dear Lord, let the wheel bolt pattern be 5x 4.5 so i could put 15" wheels on it with tall drag radials and skinnies up front. Amen a Dana 60 would be great too

My thoughts exactly (rattlesnakes extra).
The photos look real to me. As for the grille, nothing a little black paint won't fix.
If those make it to the showrooms, so will I.

I think they are calling this a concept to see initial reaction just in case they get the same response as the charger. They still have time to change any glaring negatives that come up. That being said, my first initial reaction is although it is almost too retro. I would have one in my driveway without a doubt as is. If they build it, I hope it doesnt become a laden down pig with options galor so it is a couch on wheels. Keep it simple and light. I am not suggesting things like no air conditioning, but we dont need power everything and cup holders on every panel. NO Mercedes wood interior/options crap for the "sophisticated" driver, it needs an interior for a driving enthusiast that is all business, no fluff.
