Dodge Revives The “Swinger” Nameplate For Its Latest Special Edition Duo!
One Of The Original Members Of The Scat Pack Is Back...
It’s been a “swinging” good day for Dodge, as the American performance brand pulled the covers off of a pair of retro-themed muscle cars as part of its “Last Call” program. The third and fourth of seven special edition models give a nod back to the Dodge Dart Swinger (a member of the Dodge “Scat Pack” club, and known for potent horsepower into a compact and affordable package.
“The name says it all – the originals had a unique, fun character, and that’s the same reaction we’re hoping for with our 2023 Dodge Challenger and Charger R/T Scat Pack Swinger models,” said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand CEO. “Dodge Swinger models have always held a unique spot in the Dodge muscle-car pantheon, and these modern-day models bring that fun back to life.”
The 2023 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack and Dodge Charger Scat Pack Swinger Widebody models, use some elements from the Dodge Challenger 50th Anniversary Edition models and Challenger “Holy Guacamole” Concept, including the popular Gold Rush-colored wheels.
Only 1,000 units of each, will be produced and only in Widebody form. Those who are looking for a retro look can choose either from F8 Green (PFQ) or Sublime (PFB), for that classic green-on-green Swinger look. There will also be a White Knuckle option available, as well.
