While six-figure Demon markups and Hellcat mania grabbed every headline, the Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack quietly kept doing nearly everything the halo cars do. This low-mileage example, which has already changed hands once, packs a genuine 485 horsepower from its naturally aspirated 6.4-liter 392 Hemi V8, all for less than 33,000. Read on to see why enthusiasts increasingly call the Scat Pack the smartest buy in the entire modern Challenger lineup.
Dodge built just 740 Coronets with the 426 Hemi for 1966, roughly half of them in range-topping Coronet 500 trim, out of only 2,714 Street Hemi cars built across the entire industry that year. The engine existed for one reason: NASCAR homologation demanded Dodge sell a street version of its race motor. This documented low-mileage example is one that survived being used the way most of them were. Read on for how rare a Coronet 500 Hemi actually is.
