A couple of weeks ago, Chrysler announced details on the Dodge Mopar 10' Challenger special, but kept the pictures under wraps simply teasing us with a single illustration of the muscle car.
Today, the company published a full set of images on the Mopar '10 Challenger, which is available for pre-order now in a limited production of 500 units with pricing set at $38,000 for an automatic transmission and $39,000 for a manual gearbox.
The limited edition model is based on the 2010 Challenger R/T with the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine. Mopar, the parts and accessories arm of Chrysler, has spruced up the car with a raft of cosmetic and performance enhancements.
"Mopar '10 has a wicked, sinister appearance that will turn heads." said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO of Dodge, Chrysler Group LLC. "The Mopar brand resonates with hard-core enthusiasts, and this car will too."
The car comes equipped with a hood-venting system, a cold-air intake, a front strut-tower brace with shock caps, and a unique engine cover plus a rear strut-tower brace that stiffens the chassis to improve handling.
The Mopar '10 Challenger is available exclusively in black with blue, red or silver strips on the outside and matching accents inside. Exterior features include 20-inch forged heritage gloss-black wheels, black-chromed grille surround and a functional, vented T/A-style hood with vintage hood pins. And let's not forget the Mopar logos that can be found just about everywhere, inside and out - we get it, it's a Mopar special...
As for the interior, there's Katzkin leather seating and a custom leather-wrapped steering wheel with baseball-style stitching, while nostalgia fans will surely dig the Mopar shifters (T-handle for automatics and Pistol Grip for manuals).
As a bonus, all owners will receive a unique cover and a special kit that includes a certificate with the vehicle identification number (VIN), date of build completion, and build number, and a limited-edition sketch of the car signed by Chrysler Group design boss Mark Trostle.

nice! even better than those promising pre-intro photos :)!!! i love the interior as much as the sexy body of this beast.
so into the new look of dodge! it is great to see so many improvements instead of letting their cars go stagnant. the flood of new and updated chrysler-jeep and dodge-ram vehicles is the most impressive of the "big three". thankfully, rwd and those monster v8 engines remain.
good
SWEET!
good morn'n gorgeous!
Since when does a manual transmission cost a grand more than a automatic transmission??
This car is such a direct throwback that you would think there should be thirty-six cent gas to go with it? Great for its time—three decades ago—but lost in today's world.
smart to introduce this vehicle just as the current viper (as we know it) ends production.
Speaking of oldtimers: My favourite is the Facel Vega HK 500.
So you say that this is a throwback lost in todays world? Then explain to me why Chrysler dealers can't keep them in stock, especially the V-8 versions. The fact that they are throwback muscle cars is the reason why they are so popular. Option heavy midsize beige-mobiles approaching and breaking the 35k barrier with their wheezing 4 cylnder and 6 cylinder engines make vehicles like the Challenger Mopar 10 very appealing to many buyers.
LOST!
