Tim and Pam Wellborn's Musclecar Museum has a cool collection of Mopars and other interesting cars, they have the largest collection of 71 Chargers, and the nations largest collection of Dodge cars

They have the world’s largest collection of 1971 Chargers. They have patiently, and quietly put together the nation’s largest collection of Dodge cars. Their collection of musclecars not only includes Dodge cars but also a very impressive lot of Oldsmobile 442 W-30 Convertibles, Ford Boss 429 Mustangs, LS6 Chevelles, GSX Buicks, AMC Javelins, and a Pontiac Ram Air IV GTO Judge Convertible, one of six known to exist.

Mod Squad Challenger just auctioned, only 2 were made in 1972 that were convertible, both were for the tv show

see this gallery of the restoration of one at http://www.streetfire.net/photo/mod-squad-challenger-tv-car_1304342.htm or see a feature in Mopar Muscle Sept 1987
One just sold at Mecum at Monterey auction for 48500
The 1971 Dodge Challenger Convertible offered was one of the two or three cars used for on-screen work during the 1972 Mod Squad season. Since Chrysler discontinued Challenger Convertible production after 1971, this car was updated with 1972-specific front and rear components, creating an interesting hybrid. Highly optioned with an automatic transmission, bucket seats and a console, it was also used as a PR/show car in period. Today, it displays an exterior refinish dating back 10 years

Skip the first 30 seconds, nothing happens
Learned about this car in Auto Enthusiast magazine, Nov 2011 issue.
That is a great looking car, that gold and white is superb

Worst named car - Dodge Attitude. It's an econo box, from Mexico. Hyundai Accent in Dodge badges. Yup, it was almost a Mexican Accent
It's a Hyundai Accent sold in Mexico. Well, I guess it might be proverbial to have a Mexican accent... but it isn't what comes to mind when you think of a Dodge attitude - like durable, powerful Hemi, or drag racing ready Super Sport cars of the 1960's.I photographed the above in San Diego, and you can see the Mexico plate. Read about the Dodge - Hyundai business of badging here http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/22/badge-engineering-gone-bad-the-dodge-attitude/
