Mopar '10 Introduced By Chrysler

"Mopar '10 has a wicked, sinister appearance that will turn heads. It has 20-inch forged heritage gloss-black wheels, black-chromed grille surround and a functional, vented T/A-style hood with vintage hood pins. Mopar graphics are everywhere - - - on the front fascia, hood, hood-pin caps, body-side stripes, windows and on the chromed fuel door," said Ralph Gilles.

The car will be available only in black with a choice of three accent colors: Mopar Blue, Red or Silver. The interior features Katzkin leather seating with stitching that matches the exterior stripe, a custom leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a Mopar T-handle for automatics or a special short-throw Hurst shifter w/a pistol grip handle for manuals.

Chrysler will build 500 Mopar ‘10s with a MSRP of $38,000 for an automatic and $1,000 more for a manual. Both prices include destination. That puts Mopar '10 right in the middle between the Challenger R/T at $32,610 and the Challenger SRT8 at $43,680.

The Mopar '10 will come with a special owner kit that will include a certificate highlighting the vehicle identification number (VIN), date of build completion, and build number. The kit will also include a limited-edition sketch of the vehicle signed by exterior designer Mark Trostle, a book that highlights the vehicle build, and other Mopar '10 merchandise.

Under the hood will be the 5.7 liter HEMI V8 engine augmented by the cold air intake and functional hood scoop. There will also be an increase in horsepower with the addition of our cold-air intake, a hood-venting system and a vented T/A-style hood.

The Mopar '10 will also include the Super Track Pack suspension-Mopar's most aggressive handling package, complemented by Mopar front and rear powder-coated strut tower braces. Super Trac Pac is a comprehensive system, including unique sway bars, bushings, springs and shocks.

Many of the special components will be offered individually in the Mopar catalog.

Don't be surprised to see limited run special Mopar editions of other vehicles from Chrysler.
