Last chance: Only 3,361 new Dodge Challengers and 98 Chevrolets built

While both models have been discontinued by the end of 2023, there are still some brand new models available for sale

The American muscle cars we know and love are slowly disappearing, including the Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro. If you’re eager to own one of these badges before your only option is the used car market, you’d better hurry, as there aren’t that many new examples in dealerships across the United States.

A quick look at the Dodge eShop portal reveals that there are currently 3,361 Dodge Challengers in stock at the time of this writing (Editor’s note: This number has dropped to 3,164) Available throughout the United States. The automaker ended production of the Challenger last December, and while it will live on to some extent through a new-age Charger, it remains to be seen whether the model can achieve the cult status that the third-generation Challenger did .

Various Challenger variants are available across the country. The most affordable is the SXT RWD model, which uses the entry-level 3.6-liter V6 engine with 303 horsepower, but cheaper SXT AWD models can also be found. As of this writing, the cheapest Challenger is $34,455 and comes from Lampe Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.

On the other hand, there are numerous 2023 Challenger Black Ghost RWD models, the most expensive of which has an MSRP of $162,836. All Black Ghost models are powered by a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine producing up to 797 horsepower.

Camaro inventory tight

While there are thousands of Challengers to choose from, there are far fewer Chevrolet Camaros on dealer lots. We found 98 examples in Chevrolet’s inventory, 90 of which are 2024 models and eight are 2023 models.

The most common model for sale is the Camaro 3LT, with 42 units still available. They were followed by 19 1LTs, 17 2LTs, a dozen 2SS models and just three 1SS models. There are also some LT1s scattered around. As for the Halo models, there are two 2024 Camaro ZL1s to choose from, priced at $94,320 and $95,790, for those willing to spend nearly six figures on one of them.

Like Dodge, Chevrolet hit the kill button on the Camaro last December, marking the end of an era. But don’t give up on the Camaro nameplate just yet – rumors suggest Chevy plans to resurrect it in the future, albeit possibly with an all-electric heart. Whether this will excite or anger believers is anyone’s guess. But for now, the Camaro, a true muscle car, is on borrowed time.
