"I LOVE MY CAR BECAUSE ... I now have a Muscle Car that not only looks sharp and gets up and goes, but also stops, handles and has all the safety items that come on a car built today. Dodge did a excellent job of capturing the retro muscle car look of the 1970s Challenger."

Are you sure you aren't a car salesman? Is that an RT or a TA? Sweet Ride anyway. I like the Challenger retro muscle car as much, or maybe a little more than the Mustang. I know what you're saying about the original muscle cars... handling and stopping didn't seem to matter so much back then. Probably why most all of us youngsters in the 70's and 80's who drove them, wrecked them.
Side note... I know those are low profile, but your tires sure look low on air in that picture.

Nice ride there gramps...but being a 60's child I find these re-makes insulting.
If their gonna make a retro muscle car they need to take from the last or most popular series made.
Why make them all look like a puny sports cars.
Now go get some real retro rubber for that thing and put some dang Cragers on it and jack up the back dude!......JMO no offense

I'm sorry for the sad people who have nothing better to do but troll these pages to leave moronic comments. They are just not happy people and anyone who can smile pisses them off. You have a nice car and it *is* great to have the nostalgia of older cars with the benefits of modern technology. Good for you for getting something you enjoy and thanks for sharing it with us.

My Grandpa bought an orange 1971 Roadrunner, new, and all us kids loved him and his 'Roadrunner'
He too was a very happy man, was once the world tree-topping champion and could do at 80 more one arm push-ups than any of a dozen18-19 year old kin.
You go, guy.

Get rid of those cheap plastic wheels and put some real retro alloys on there for a huge improvement in looks.
