For some, you will never be able to replace the classic Dodge Challenger. For others that do not have a place in their heart for classic's, the new Challenger will be the car they give their money and attention to. I'm cool with that, however, it leaves us free to wonder what effect the new Challenger will have on the value of the classic Challenger. I have asked a lot of people, most of which are classic lovers so their opinion may not reflect everyones. Some of the best arguments that I have heard to support the fact that the new Challenger will not have a negative effect the classic Challenger value is;

1. The classic's will never be made again, period...
2. Classic Mustangs and Camaros still hold their value, why would the Challenger be any different?
3. Classic's don't face the same emmision restrictions making them easier to modify and customize.
4. With the price of new cars today you could purchase a really nice classic that is an investment and not a liability. What do you believe 45 - 50K will buy in the classic car world today?

Plus, for those who has not had a chance to drive a classic Challenger, you would NOT believe the attention these cars get. Some this attention will go down once the new one's hit the market because they will become more reconizable to the general public. Right now, the only time I ever see a classic Challenger is at a car show, I hardly ever see one on the road.
