The original Challenger had a very short run which some people forget 70-74

And still others forget about the late '70s/early '80s Challengers.

So true

Charger name ends 36 or so years ago

problem is the general public doesn't know what that is.  everyone knows a camaro or mustang.  not too many people even know what the challenger and barracuda were.  lets face it, it's john q public with his 6 cyl. plane job that sells most..people who buy that model pretty much know nothing about cars.

thats why they won't make a retro 71 ish sattelite

also plymouth is no more wouldnt be right calling it a chrysler road runner, i agree its sharp but like was said only mopar die hards would understand it, also they would probaly shoot themselves in the foot again by overpricing it like the challenger.

It is an interesting thought, but  can't happen because of the scale of economy in manufacturing. To build a car at a low price point requires you build a large volume of them to hit profit margin. While we like to think we are a large sized group willing to spend cash, the sale of two door units over the last decade says otherwise. Heck, conduct a straw poll at your local grocery store for one hour, one afternoon. If you find 10-15% of that sampling that would be willing to buy a 2 door coupe, I'd be surprised. And within that group you will find even less that would be willing to drop the coin on a retro Charger. The only way of building specialty cars with limited interest is to crank the price way up to achieve margin with fewer units.

And don't split your retro market with two entries.  One at a time.

It's hard to evolve a car that has already evolved.  The Mustang II was Ford's way of saying, "we are all out of ideas". 

When the ponys get tired, introduce the retro charger.

Isn't it funny that that car was worth more than a Hemi Challenger when it came out.

I'd buy a new car because it appeals to me - not because of what it's copied from. I'm personally tired of parking next to new Mustangs, Challengers, and Camaros with the window stickers and temporary tags still on them at shows and cruises.
