Has anyone heard yet when you can actually place an order for a 2023? Right now the dealers are all telling me they can't order the 2023's yet. Thanks, RRDon

PS Do you guys think it would be ok to post a pic the very first, brand spanking new, muscle Mopar I bought when I was 20 years old?

Absolutely!

Hi Guys, I'm a life long Mopar guy who still has a 68 Road Runner and of course my new Ram Rebel truck. But I've been wanting one of the new Challengers for quite a while now and I'm getting ready to order a new 2023 Jailbreak as soon as they are available. I want to learn as much as I can before I order. I appreaciate any advice as I look forward with excitement about getting one of these 'last great Mopar V8 muscle cars'. Thanks, RRDon

I still remember it like it was yesterday, the look, the feel, the sound and the incredible excitement of buying a brand-new high-performance muscle car. I guess that's why I have to do it again. One more time before, well you know, I have to take that 'last off-ramp' on the highway of life. :)

383 cu in pistol grip four speed. 335HP 425 ft lb torque. No power accessories, nothing under the hood but the engine.
97 octane gas was 29 cents/gal. Thanks for letting me share a piece of automotive history.

My best quarter mile time with this car, stock except for Thrush mufflers, open air cleaner and slicks, was 13:42 at 105mph. More than one SS396 Chevelle was treated to this view:

I used to race at Beeline Dragway in the Phoenix area.

71 and yes I have good teeth LOL

The pic in the avatar is my current Road Runner, at 1968. It's another 383 four speed. So far it as taken a trophy at every car show I've put it in.
Here's a peek under the hood:

We had a '69 RR 383


It died a horrible slow death in a barn in Vermont


Love that car and yours is very nice, especially in great shape!


Thanks for sharing

I had a 1970 Challenger TA. Street and Drag raced it to death. Sold it when I came back from the AF. Needed a normal ride for moving on in life.
Watched it leave on a rollback, never to be seen again.

I was ready to move on.
I dedicated all of my income and time during high school and later keeping it running and competitive.
I only miss it now as a nostalgic memory. Wouldn't want it back.

None of us knew at the time these cars were, not just the end of and era, but that would someday become such valuable collector items.
