Detroit Muscle has created the perfect Mopar build — a classic Dodge Charger powered by a Hellcat V8. Marc and Tommy found the base car, a 1969 model in Alabama, in good condition with little to no rust. However, it wasn't completely stock, with some modifications already in place.
A well-known YouTuber specializing in wacky builds has turned his supercharged Dodge Challenger Hellcat into an off-road beast. And no, instead of just jacking it up and giving it a set of substantial off-road tires, he and his team worked to transform the car into something similar to the off-road Dodge Viper project by Superfast Matt.
With more than a thousand horses at its disposal, the Challenger SRT Demon 170 is Dodge's most extreme muscle car from the factory, but can it beat Tesla's infamous straight-line contender from a standstill?

There are restomods, and then there are retromods, the latter being taking a new car and making it look old, just like this 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye that has been modified to look like a 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda. This particular example has surfaced at Mecum's upcoming Kissimmee auction (2-14 January 2024) as Lot S220 and features carbon fiber bodywork inspired by the '71 Cuda. It also gets a livery to match that of the original and a remarkable four-stage candy purple paint job. As if that weren't impressive enough, you can get a matching set, with two available 1971 Hemi Cudas available at the same auction.
The first Barrett-Jackson event of 2024 takes in Scottsdale, Arizona on 20 January, and the famous auction house is coming out swinging with a host of desirable metal, like this 1964 Lincoln Continental custom-built convertible.
Ford Performance is getting in on the festive season cheer with a cheerful four-minute video of Santa's Training Camp. With former child star and now NASCAR driver Frankie Muniz as drill sergeant, Santa is put through his paces to earn his HDL (Holiday Delivery License), with challenges including a military-style mud crawl to plug Christmas lights into the bed of an F-150 Lightning and practicing his present drops down a chimney while drifting a Ford Mustang GT.
