The year might seem like a long time ago, but it wasn’t. Just look at the , which, unlike yourself, . But how can the used Dodge Challengers compete with the newer ones, given that they’ve kept the same cosmetics but come with more power, more features and a warranty?

Novelty. That’s how.

Novelty, in this -listed ’s case, seems to be dressing up like it robbed the local Halloween store from the outside. If the demonic red headlights on this thing pulled up to your house and revved on Oct. 31, it might just send your kids (or cats) running.

The car, which came with an original to the modern lineup’s high end of a rated ,really is something, and it gets stranger the more you look at it. It goes to painful lengths to remove most of the original branding, but makes sure to trace the outline of the Ram logo up front and highlights that it’s an SRT performance version. Its wheels are more Hot Wheels than real life, and only the back half got the wide-body treatment.

The interior meets expectations—diamond stitching on all of the seats, quilted doors, a custom sound system, and just about every random, excessive appearance feature you could imagine. It’s so absurd that it would be almost cool, aside from the questionable exterior choices.

But in the age when the current Dodge Challenger (2008-) may never die, the older ones have to find ways to make themselves stand out in the crowd. This is certainly one way to do that.

How do you like your classic sport utilities biased; more towards the sport, or tilted to the utility? If it’s the former, then today’s ML58 might just be your ride, that is if its price doesn’t make you want to miss the Brabus. Brabus, you know the name, you know...

For $9,500, This 1985 Suzuki Samurai Goes Long
Suzuki’s Samurai is most memorable for its charm bracelet-tiny size. Today’s edition turns that notion on its head by being sort of a Scrambler edition. Will that, and its price, make you long for it? Yesterday’s may have once cost a pretty penny, but at present 57% of you think...

When I learned I’d be driving the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde, my mind was filled with the denizens of the Italian Car Cliche Swearbox.
