Over nearly 75 years, Chrysler’s Dodge and Plymouth brands have offered some of the most memorable and exciting muscle cars ever loosed on the motoring public. Arguably, it all began with the 1951 release of the vaunted V-8 Hemi engine. This legendary beast passed through a handful of displacements until finally morphing into the all-conquering 426. Chrysler’s V-8 prowess shone in early 1960s factory-lightweight drag cars then moved to muscle-era classics like theCharger,Roadrunner,GTX,Super Bee, andSuperbird.
But it wasn’t just about Hemis; Chrysler offered a variety of V-8 engines including 340, 383, and 440 displacements fitted to other top-flight cars like theBarracuda,Challenger,‘Cuda, andDuster. No other Detroit automaker offered a wider variety of performance cars in the 1960 and early ’70s.
Emissions requirements and ever-increasing insurance tabs put the squeeze on performance cars beginning in the mid-1970s, and Mopar performance declined for decades. But it returned with a vengeance in the 21st century, first in the guise of anew Charger (4-door!)and then the belovedretro-design Challenger. Both of these iconic models were put to rest in 2023, but not before unleashing the wild 807-horsepowerDodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeyeand the outrageous 1,025-horsepowerDodge Challenger SRT Demon. Power to the people, indeed!
The Complete Book of Dodge and Plymouth Muscle Carsis a must-have reference for all Mopar muscle fans.
