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.

For $22,500, Pick up one share of birkin stock.
Originally feted for its added lightness, the Lotus Seven has always been a heavyweight of the homage car business. Today's Birkin is just one of a bunch, but will its price make this Seven the one? What's in a number? Well, if that number happens to be 7, then a...

If perchance you should happen to be gangster – as I know I am - you might just need a conveyance that fits your urban-contemporary lifestyle. And while not a ‘lac, today's Audi A8 is fittingly down. Even though it wasn't a winged Saab Viggen – which by the way,...

The Lamborghini Countach is perhaps the all-time most uncompromising car for speed and jaw dropping appearance, and one today can set you back six figures. Today's Kitborghini lets you have all that... at a compromise. Yesterday's really fluffed up your collective merkin, as evidenced by its 73% Nice Price win...

We began the week with a Porsche, so it seems only fitting that end it with one as well. This one's a N'awlins' 911, and you might find its price is ripe for a Louisiana purchase. Here's your Jalopnik tip of the week- when seeking someone to emulate for the...

Ever find a treasure at a garage sale? Well, today's 1999 Saab 9-3 was bought from GM's Heritage Collection blowout, and while covetable, will its price make it not destined for your garage? The GM Heritage Collection is a repository of the maker's most memorable or noteworthy achievements - and...

C3 Vettes are typically more cruiser than bruiser, but today's '75 is painted a metallic shade of bruise, and you might find its price makes it a plum deal. The horror over Porsche's introduction of a tarted up Tourag has not abated, as evidenced in the vitriolic responses to yesterday's...
