The Mopar 14 Challenger Sells Out in One Day

The Mopar 14 Dodge Challenger R/T went on sale on April 1^st and by midday on April 2^nd, the bespoke and limited edition Mopar muscle car was completely sold out.  It took less than two business days for Mopar fans around the country to quickly order all 100 examples of the Mopar 14 slated for production but based on how awesome this customizable, limited edition Challenger R/T is – I am not all that surprised that it took just over a day for the company to sell all 100 units.

“The very high demand for the Mopar ’14 Challenger spotlights the success of our limited-edition, Mopar-modified vehicles, and also clearly demonstrates the passion our customers have for personalizing their rides,” said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar, Chrysler Group’s service, parts and customer-care brand. “Whether during or after the ordering process, Mopar is there to help put a personal touch on customers’ rides.”

The Mopar 14 Dodge Challenger was available in either Pitch Black or Bright White and of the 100 units sold – 52 chose black and the other 48 chose white.  The Shaker hood striping package was the most popular of the three available striping options while the most commonly selected Mopar accessory items ordered included the Mopar hood pin package, Mopar Performance badges, quad exhaust tips, the Dodge Challenger monogrammed car cover and the Mopar Performance cat-back exhaust system. Mopar hood pin package, Mopar Performance badges, quad exhaust tips, the Dodge Challenger monogrammed car cover and the Mopar Performance cat-back exhaust system.

A full list of the top options for the Mopar 14 is listed below.
Mopar short-throw shifter
Mopar cat-back exhaust
Mopar performance suspension
Mopar lowering springs
Mopar Electronic Vehicle Tracking System (EVTS)
Mopar performance badges
Mopar hood pin kit
Mopar car cover
Mopar door-sill guards
Mopar sequential taillight kit
Mopar premium floor mats or slush mats
Mopar chrome exhaust tip
Mopar fuel-filler door
Mopar wheel locks
Mopar interior trim bezel kit
Mopar Shaker hood

The good news for all of those folks hoping to purchase a Mopar 14 is that while the factory-built Mopar 14 Challenger is sold out, pretty much every component of the package is available through the Mopar Performance catalog.  This means that any 2014 (or previous) model year Dodge Challenger R/T can be converted to look just like a Mopar 14…it just won’t have the same collectable value.  Also, the Shaker hood is not currently available, but Mopar officials stated that it would soon arrive to the catalog provided that the Challenger Shaker and Mopar 14 proved to be popular enough.  Considering that the Mopar 14 took just over a day to sell out while the Challenger Shaker sold out in 4 days, I would think that the Shaker hood system is definitely popular enough to offer to other Challenger owners.

The Mopar ’14 Challenger shows that when combining a legendary car like the Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker and making it even more exclusive, we create collectible performance machines unlike anything else on the road,” said Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO of Dodge Brand. “From the Mopar ’14 Challenger to the new Scat Pack performance stage kits available on Challenger, Charger and Dart, you can continue to expect great things when Dodge and Mopar team up.”

"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.

"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.

"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.

"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.

"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.

"Being based on Detroit," says Rall, "I never miss the North American International Auto Show, the Woodward Dream Cruise and Roadkill Nights, along with spending plenty of time raising hell on Detroit's Woodward Avenue with the best muscle car crowd in the world.
