Dodge is evoking the spirit of the original 1970 Challenger with a special edition car it will introduce later this month.

Dodge quietly placed the Challenger R/T Classic special edition car on its Detroit auto show stand during press days but won't announce details until later this week.

The Challenger R/T Classic will be offered initially in Hemi Orange and Torred. A B5 Blue edition will come in late February or early March along with other Challenger colors.

The R/T Classic is set apart by racing stripes and the original Challenger script on the front fender sides, instead of on the grille, as in the current vehicle. It will be the only Challenger R/T with a working hood scoop.

Dodge also will launch a B5 Blue version of the SRT8 in March. The Hemi cranks out 376 hp when mated to the six-speed manual transmission.

The automatic transmission version generates 372 hp.

Wow, how nice would that be?!!!!

The Classic package was on the Dodge US site as an orderable model shortly after the Challenger release.... I want to say sometime in the summer is when I noticed it.

I asked about it here in Canada and the dealer had no idea what I was talking about.

[Old Moparz]

Isn't anything they're build now "limited edition" with the way their finances are?

The car looks nice, I'm hoping they're around long enough so I can get one.

those are nice

Not really into those wheels, or the hemi orange.  Otherwise, beautiful car.  Would love to see the blue.  Challenger is still winner and champion of the muscle re-issues as far as I'm concerned.  I don't know anyone that doesn't like them.

Oh man, was posting previous reply when the blue pic was put on.  Wow.  That's nice.  The cragar style wheels are a big improvement over the hemi orange rollers, definitely.
