Dodge is back with another special-edition model that pays homage to the legendary muscle cars of the past. Introducing the 2023 Dodge Challenger Black Ghost, a modern-day vision inspired by the HEMI-powered spirit of a muscle car that ruled Detroit’s Woodward Avenue in the 1970s.
The Legend of the Black Ghost
Back in the day, the original Black Ghost made its presence known on Woodward Avenue. It was a black 1970 Dodge Challenger RT SE, owned by Godfrey Qualls. This beast of a car, equipped with a 426 HEMI engine, became legendary for its powerful performance and mysterious disappearances. The Black Ghost would flex its muscles on Woodward Avenue and vanish into the night, earning its well-deserved nickname. In fact, the car was so iconic that it made it onto the National Historic Vehicle Register in 2020. And today, it still remains in the Qualls family.
Modern-Day Manifestation
The 2023 Dodge Challenger Black Ghost special edition brings the spirit of the original Black Ghost into the present. This modern-day incarnation features a black-and-chrome appearance, complete with unique black “gator skin” roof vinyl graphics that pay homage to the original car. And under the hood, it’s powered by a Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody engine, which has been tuned up to deliver an impressive 807 horsepower.
Last Call for the Challenger
The 2023 Dodge Challenger Black Ghost is the sixth in a series of seven special-edition “Last Call” models from Dodge. These models celebrate the end of an era, as both the Dodge Challenger and Charger will soon undergo changes in their current forms. So far, we’ve seen the Dodge Challenger Shakedown, Dodge Charger Super Bee, Dodge Challenger and Charger Scat Pack Swinger, and Dodge Charger King Daytona models. But the excitement doesn’t end here. Dodge will reveal the seventh and final special-edition model at the 2022 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
