So let's say you're an owner of a Dodge Challenger Demon 170. You just bought the ultimate factory Challenger with upgraded supercharger, engine and driveline, and it makes more than 1,000 horsepower on E85 ethanol. But you want to go even faster, what do you do? Well, Hennessey Performance is planning to have a 1,700-horsepower solution, though it arguably won't be a Demon anymore.
As we've seen in this series, most Detroit four-door sedans of the postwar era aren't worth much to enthusiasts and they continue to be discarded after languishing for many decades in fields and driveways. Chrysler products of the 1940s and 1950s are particularly vulnerable to this grim fate, particularly ones with flathead straight-six engines (i.e., most of them), and I've found plenty in just the last few years. Coupes, on the other hand, are worth something and tend be better at avoiding that sad tow-truck ride to the nearest Ewe Pullet. The bad news here is that today's two-door Junkyard Gem now resides in such a place, but the good news is that that place is a family-owned yard near Denver that will sell whole cars and not just parts.

Hot on the heels of a Jeep Wagoneer S teaser and photos of the prototype next-generation Dodge Charger (or Challenger), comes a reveal and details of what will likely underpin both of them: the STLA Large platform. It's one of multiple Stellantis flexible architectures that will be the basis of its upcoming electric cars, and apparently internal combustion ones, too.
Lee Iacocca's Chrysler Corporation sold K-Cars in the United States for the 1981 through 1989 model years, saving itself from near-certain bankruptcy in the process. These cars are becoming difficult to find in the Ewe Pullets of the land, and I hadn't written about a true K in the Junkyard Finds series since way back in 2019. Today, we'll look at a K sedan that survived 36 years before being retired in California.
Automakers love putting out teasers, using us media dopes to build anticipation.
Here it is, folks: You’re looking at the first pre-production photos of the electric Dodge Charger Daytona. Dodge just dropped these pictures in a social media post this morning with little context or explanation, but it’s clear enough to determine what we’re looking at.
News broke earlier this week that Stellantis would pull out of auto shows, including the upcoming Chicago Auto Show, for the foreseeable future.
