HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. — Unique Performance and Foose Design have transformed original 1970 and 1971 Dodge Challengers with contemporary wheels, engines, suspensions, transmissions and interiors. The limited-edition supercars are on sale now, with a price tag starting at $189,000.
Engine choices include a 360-horsepower 5.7-liter "modern" Hemi or a 540-hp Mopar 426 Hemi linked to a Tremec TKO five-speed transmission and a custom hydraulic clutch. The Foose Challenger features a Unique Performance Products rear suspension, Baer four-wheel disc brakes, staggered Foose wheels and BFGoodrich tires. Styling cues include Foose emblems, a custom front grille, shaved bumpers and a custom hood. Each car has a unique serial number.
Interior features include two-tone high bucket seats in either vinyl or leather with suede inserts, a carbon-fiber gauge package and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
The first production Foose Challenger will be sold at the 2007 Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona.
What this means to you: If the Foose name is what you're after, this Challenger is a steal. If you're just looking for a nicely built Challenger, you're better off getting an original and building it yourself.
For a mere $200,000 you, too, can own a Foose Challenger.
