#1 of 500 – The First Mopar® Branded Vehicle

Steve O’Brien of Denver, Colo. has one of each SRT8® vehicle—Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge—as well as an SRT10® Ram pickup. When he saw the Mopar® ’10 Challenger R/T he couldn’t wait to order it. “The design and interior of this car is just awesome,” said Steve O’Brien who purchased the vehicle from GO Chrysler Jeep Dodge Southwest in Littleton, Colo.

The Mopar ’10 Challenger has the heritage of the classic Mopar muscle cars. Its existence arose from a mere idea that quickly emerged from the dedication and energy that came from combining two highly talented teams—Mopar and Dodge. The result is the limited-edition Mopar ’10 Challenger R/T: the pure synergy of Mopar soul and Dodge spirit.

It takes to the road with the dynamics of a 5.7-liter HEMI® VVT V-8—the very essence of Dodge performance. Then it meets Mopar—and the going gets really good. With its aggressive profile, unique striping, front and rear strut tower braces, cold air intake system, underhood venting and authoritative 20-inch forged wheels with a menacing gloss black finish. Inside, unique touches like the stylized shifters, custom Katzkin leather interior and scores of other features make this Challenger R/T unmistakable.

This custom vehicle also comes with a highly personalized owner kit. Along with the Mopar ‘10 Challenger R/T documentation and distinctive artwork, the kit contains materials that emphasize the unique character of this ride. The Birth Certificate shows the exact date of manufacture with the proprietary number of the vehicle. Particularly distinguished are the classic Mopar wheel center caps and era-specific marine-grade stainless-steel lynch pins and lanyards. Top that with Mopar ‘10 merchandise and a vehicle rendering signed exclusively by the Dodge designer and you’ve got all the makings to help you celebrate ownership of a Mopar ‘10 Challenger.

“The Mopar ‘10 reminds me of the ‘70s,” Steve O’Brien continued. “I just can’t wait to burn the tires off of it.” To his surprise, it turned out that his Mopar ‘10 is the first one—a huge bonus for an avid car collector.

Be sure you don’t miss out on your own legend, Mopar ‘10, the first car ever officially badged a “Mopar.” Only 600 were made for the U.S. and Canadian markets. See your Dodge dealer as soon as you can, before the last of these legends is gone.
