This list of special-edition models is rounded out by the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170. This model boasts a 1,025-horsepower engine that will take you from zero to 65 miles per hour in just 1.66 seconds, making it the fastest vehicle ever produced in the brand\u2019s history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each Challenger Last Call build comes with an aluminum plaque that features the vehicle&#8217;s silhouette, as well as details where it was built. All plaques also feature a specialty stamp as a tribute to the historic vehicle\u2019s final year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Dodge Charger Last Call Models<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last call models of the Charger include the Dodge Charger Challenger Shakedown, Dodge Charger Super Bee, Dodge Charger Scat Pack Swinger, and the Dodge Charger King Daytona. All special-edition Charger builds will also feature a \u201cLast Call\u201d plaque, which pays homage to the final year of this legendary muscle car.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Dodge Charger History<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the Charger made its first appearance at a 1964 car show, the model was not officially released for sale until 1966. The vehicle represented the first effort by Dodge to produce an upscale pony car, although it was not an immediate hit. Sales didn\u2019t begin to take off as expected until the late 1960s, when the second iteration of the vehicle was released.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The model continued to be re-released over a series of seven different generations, with significant styling updates being made over the course of the vehicle\u2019s 57-year history. Production of the Charger actually ceased altogether beginning in 1988, but the vehicle came storming back onto the market in 2006.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Dodge Challenger History\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first Challenger was released in the fall of 1969. Similar to the Charger, however, the Challenger was not met with immediate success. Muscle cars were already facing declining popularity at the time, so when the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/1970s\/energy-crisis\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">oil crisis of 1973<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> hit Dodge was forced to cease production of the first-generation Challenger altogether. Luckily for Challenger fans this hiatus was short-lived &#8211; Dodge released the second generation in 1978, with the third and now final generation being released in 2008.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Visit Tobey Auto Group Today\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t miss out on your chance to own a historic piece of American muscle history.
