The Chevrolet Camaro might have a dominating presence on the show floor at <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/SEMA/">SEMA</a>, but there were still a handful of Dodge Challengers to wave the Mopar flag. This particular example was found tucked away in the Chrysler display described as a "Mopar Edition" and features two dozen items straight from the Mopar catalog. Some are as simple as the hood pin kit ($71), while other upgrades are more substantial like the Stage II coilover suspension system ($1,750). <br />
<br />
We especially liked the Mopar Edition hood decal even though it's a bit pricey at $350, and the set of five-spoke, 20-inch aluminum wheels would be on our wish list as well. Follow the jump for the full list of parts installed on the car, and decide what would go on your own Mopar Challenger.<br />

I've always liked the early 70's Challengers & Barracudas. In fact I even owned a 1967 Barracuda (coupe) that I regret to this day having sold and always told myself that I'd own another one some day.

Closest I came was about 10 years ago when I almost bought a 1970 Tripple Black (black body, vinyl top & interior) Challenger with a 382ci & a four speed for about $21K. While it wasn't a Hemi or a 440 - I'm sure it would be worth a small fourtune today.

Anyway before I got my 2008 Bullitt I was looking at the SRT8s but they where crazy expensive at the time. Thought I'd wait for the R/T with the 5.7L Hemi but Dodge kept on dragging it's feet.

But after looking at the R/T now - while it's a sweet ride a regular Mustang GT would've been the better buy. So I'm pretty happy with my Bullitt needless to say.

Still the new Challenger is a nice looking retro ride.
