Build it! Remember the days of having one nobody else has; tired of Jeep getting all the high impact color choices ! Please bring back Orange Pearl from 2008 along with this one!
 
I like the wheels, they are clean looking and add to the appearance of the car. The black wheels on everything is getting old. The color is nice and actually looks better than F8 green. I think the wood and plaid interior is an excellent choice to illustrate the heritage of the Challenger going back to the 1970's. I see the Holy Guacamole as a well thought out concept. I hope they make these appearance choices available to the public.

I’m with you on the black wheels and accents, way too overdone. Dodge should (must) offer some choices in options and not all lock step packages. I chose an 2019 R/T Plus and passed on a “Shaker” because I wanted chrome wheels and gas cap and body colored spoiler and not black. If I could order my shaker package with the chrome retro look that would have been great and why not , more choices makes sense. I’m buying my Challenger off lease and then looking to add the shaker and some other small mods that won’t alter the reliability and integrity of the factory set up too much. This retro package really works for me minus the interior mods. Choices Dodge, more choices.
 
The plaid interior is a nice touch. It is a nod to the 1978-80 Dodge Challengers built by Mitsubishi. I'm glad someone in Auburn Hills recognizes this part of the old corporate history.

Goes back before that. Mod Top Barracudas and later houndstooth seats in B and E body 70s muscle cars. Looks great in my son’s 1971 Dodge Charger R/T.
 
That particular plaid pattern was resurrected in 1975 as a Chrysler Newport trim. This move was a bit of nostalgia from the 1940s Chrysler Highlander trim.
The same plaid design would also be found in other Chrysler corporate products starting with the 1976 model year. I wonder if there is some hidden significance to a malaise era interior design for this concept.:unsure:
