Dodge's pony car arrived for 1970, late to the muscle car party but with engines up to the 426 Hemi, and a white one starred in the film Vanishing Point. It lasted until 1974. The name returned in 2008 on a faithful retro coupe that ran until 2023 and spawned the supercharged Hellcat and the drag-bred Demon.
