Chip Foose and Texas based Unique Performance are at it again with an update of the 70’s Dodge Challenger just like they did for the 69′ Camaro.  The Challenger update will follow a similar path to that of the 69′ Camaro which Chip designed and Unique built.  With Dodge unvailing the Challenger Concept this could not come at a better time as the Challenger name and brand are on the minds of many.

Although details are a little sketchy at this point we have read on Edmunds Inside Line the team of Foose and Unique will make a limited number of original cars with Uniques rear suspension, Wilwood disc brakes, Foose wheels, BFG rubber and a Tremex gearbox.   Choices for the engine could include a 5.7-liter and 7.0-liter Hemi V8’s.

CEO Douglas Hasty has high hopes for the car and nothing but praise for chip, ”Working with Chip, our team will turn a handful of these vintage muscle cars into pink-slip-winning, Z06-eating supercars.”.
