The end grows nearer, but so does a new beginning.
As dramatic as that sounds, the radical and quickly impending change that faces the muscle cars that Dodge is known and loved across the country for is going to dramatically change the world of American Automotive performance. For years, cars powered by the Dodge’s incredible V8 engines, and especially the recent Hellcat-powered acceleration and power monsters have been poster children of domestic automotive excellence. Dodge is one of the cornerstones of the history of muscle cars in the United States, and with decades of legacy to look back on, the “Last Call” series of muscle cars that heralds the end of the current chapter of Dodge performance is a bittersweet reminder of how Dodge got where it is today.

The latest addition to the “Last Call” series references Dodge’s legendary “swinging” muscle car lineup from the golden age of muscle cars in the 60s and 70s. That’s why the new special edition of the Dodge Challenger and Charger is called the “Swinger,” and it’s available for the 2023 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack and the 2023 Dodge Charger Scat Pack. Coming after the Dodge Challenger Shakedown and Dodge Charger Super Bee, the new Swinger models pay homage to the original Dodge Dart Swinger, which was part of the “Scat Pack” club with high power in a smaller package, along with bold looks, which are translated to the new models with retro-inspired gold badging and accents, and green accents in the interior, which match the F8 Green and Sublime Green available colors that reference the old car. Only 1,000 Chargers and Challengers will be made with this spec, and both will be available as widebody models. As this chapter ends and a bold new one begins, Dodge is making the goodbye as bittersweet as it can.
