You Have Two Weeks Left To Order a New Dodge Charger or Challenger

Dodge will stop accepting orders for new Charger sedans and Challenger muscle cars forever at the end of July.

“As we transition to an exciting, electrified muscle car future,” says Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis, “We’re marking the end of an unforgettable era for Dodge, and time is running out for those who want to own a piece of it.”

Seven Farewell Editions

Dodge announced last November that 2023 would be the last model year for its two big, rear-wheel drive cars. It is signing each one out with a series of “Last Call” special editions. Each is built around a theme, with many inspired by legendary Dodge muscle cars of the past.

There’s a royal purple Charger Super Bee with an angry bee in a racing helmet two feet high on the hood. There’s a darkened-almost-all-over Challenger Black Ghost named for a legend of 1970s Detroit street racing. Dodge even built a version with 1,025 horsepower that goes from zero to 60 mph in 1.66 seconds.

But they’ll all be gone soon. Dodge has asked dealers to have final orders into the factory by the end of July – just 13 days from now.

They’re Still Selling the Normal Ones, Too

Shoppers don’t have to shell out special-edition money to get a Charger or Challenger. Dodge says it will accept orders for every version of the cars, from an entry-level SXT to one of the Last Call editions, for the rest of the month. Factories will continue churning them out for months afterward, but production “will end no later than December 31, 2023.”

What becomes of the brand that calls its fans “the Brotherhood of Muscle” when these muscle cars are gone? More muscle. But a new type.

What’s Next? “Electric Muscle”

Last summer, the company showed off what it calls an “electric muscle car” – the Charger Daytona SRT Concept. As the name suggests, however, that car remains just a concept. Dodge hasn’t rolled out a production version yet. With the lights coming on at the bar for the gas-powered models, it’s getting late for Dodge to introduce their official replacements.

As it stands, the only things you’ll be able to order at Dodge dealerships 14 days from now will be Durango SUVs (also rumored to be replaced soon) and the all-new Dodge Hornet compact crossover.

Last Call Pricing (With a Giant *):

Last Call editions can’t be ordered – they’re sold through dealerships only.

Interested buyers can use the “Horsepower Locator” on the DodgeGarage website to find out which dealerships still have one to sell. It no longer appears to list specific prices for each car. Instead, it just tells shoppers how many build slots each dealer has left to sell.

Initially, Dodge had protected shoppers from dealer markups by telling dealerships that cars sold over sticker price would be built last. That system is likely useless now that the company is so close to the deadline. So, we’ll publish the last set of sticker prices we have records of below for your reference. But be prepared for hefty dealer markups rendering the list prices irrelevant.

Dodge says ordering for the 2023 Challenger SRT Demon 170 is closed. It carried a sticker of $96,666 when available – about $94.30 per horsepower.

Dodge also charges $1,595 to deliver these cars.
