In traditional English pubs, the landlord would call out “last call!” to encourage stragglers to get their final drinks and head home. Customers knew the landlord was serious and would not reconsider, and there was an air of finality for those late-night revelers. So, you could forgive performance car buyers if they believed the same kind of message coming out of Dodge HQ. The company would produce some special versions of its vaunted muscle cars to bring an end to that chapter. Dodge would frame the 2023 Challenger and Charger as the final Hemi-powered versions, and it would also build seven Last Call special edition models to punctuate the message. But as it turns out, that specific call may not have been the “last” one, and the story looks more nuanced. With Dodge apparently reversing its muscle car retirement story and bringing a new Charger Hellcat back, what does that mean for the Last Call used car marketplace?
