Dodge is announcing the brand\u2019s penultimate \u201cLast Call\u201d special-edition model, the 2023 Dodge Challenger Black Ghost, a modern-day vision that channels the HEMI\u00ae<\/sup>-powered spirit of a muscle car that haunted metro Detroit\u2019s famed Woodward Avenue in the 1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original Black Ghost, a black 1970 Dodge Challenger RT SE (special edition) owned by Godfrey Qualls, ruled Woodward Avenue in the 1970s. Qualls\u2019 1970 Challenger quickly earned a legendary reputation for flexing its 426 HEMI-powered muscle on Woodward and then driving off mysteriously into the night, not to be seen again for months, leading to the \u201cBlack Ghost\u201d nickname. Not simply a local legend, in 2020, Qualls\u2019 vehicle earned a spot on the National Historic Vehicle Register, and remains in the Qualls family to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2023 Dodge Challenger Black Ghost special edition offers a modern manifestation of the historic vehicle, wrapping a black-and-chrome appearance, including unique black \u201cgator skin\u201d roof vinyl graphics similar to the original, around a Challenger SRT\u00ae<\/sup> Hellcat Redeye Widebody bumped up to 807 horsepower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2023 Dodge Challenger Black Ghost is the sixth of seven special-edition Dodge \u201cLast Call\u201d models, following the previously announced Dodge Challenger Shakedown<\/a>, Dodge Charger Super Bee<\/a>, Dodge Challenger and Charger Scat Pack Swinger<\/a>, and Dodge Charger King Daytona<\/a> models. The \u201cLast Call\u201d models celebrate the Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger, which are coming to an end in their current forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just one final Dodge \u201cLast Call\u201d model will be announced \u2014 the very last of its kind \u2014 at the 2022 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, scheduled for Nov. 1-4, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are so many legendary muscle cars in Dodge brand history, it was hard to choose the seven vehicles we wanted to pay homage to with our Last Call lineup, but the Black Ghost was an easy pick,\u201d said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand chief executive officer \u2013 Stellantis. \u201cThe 2023 Dodge Challenger Black Ghost is the prelude to what we\u2019re going to unveil with our seventh and final special-edition model.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
