Streamer Duke Dennis Tracks Down His Stolen Dodge Challenger Black Ghost
Read the full story on Backfire News Online streamer Duke Dennis has millions of followers, but that fame comes at a price, like having his Final Call Dodge Challenger Black Ghost stolen from his house. But the guy didn't get famous by just playing victim, so Dennis tracked the limited edition muscle car down and had the thief began for Dennis after he said some fans figured out exactly where he lives. That's when people started camping outside his house and a couple of his vehicles were broken into. But thankfully the man had a plan in case someone swiped his pricey Mopar. Dodge only made 300 of the Challenger Black Ghost Last Call muscle cars, using the Hellcat Redeye Widebody as the base vehicle. Output is dialed up to 807-horsepower, but what really makes the Mopar hot are the unique aesthetics. Each one was designed to look like the famed Black Ghost, a 1970 Dodge Challenger RT SE which would race others on Woodward Avenue in Detroit back in the 70s. Supposedly, the mysterious muscle car never lost, often disappearing for months at a time, hence it being called a ghost by other street racers. While the original Black Ghost sold for over $1 million back at a Mecum auction in 2023, these limited edition tribute cars aren't worth nearly as much. But they're still pricey, with listings for those still at dealers sitting around $130,000 or so. MSRP for the Last Call model was announced at $100,000. With the Mopar muscle car worth that much, one would think the owner would have some extra security. We know Dennis had a couple of trackers installed, which he used to see where the Dodge was after the unnamed thief swiped it. Hopping on streaming, he declared that he was on his way to get the Challenger back and that police were called, later saying the thief was busted and his ride was recovered. Now the streamer is apparently considering moving so he isn't targeted again. Image via dukedennis/Instagram

2023 Dodge Challenger Black Ghost Heads to Auction
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector A rare 2023 Dodge Challenger Black Ghost, one of just 300 built as part of Dodge's Last Call series, is set to cross the auction block at Mecum Glendale 2025 on March 22. With only 153 miles on the odometer, this modern muscle car pays tribute to the legendary 1970 Hemi Challenger R/T known as the 'Black Ghost,' an infamous street racer once owned by Detroit police officer Godfrey Qualls. Powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine, the Black Ghost Special Edition boasts an impressive 807 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful Challengers ever produced. The car features a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, factory Launch Control, an After-Run Chiller, and Brembo four-wheel disc brakes to enhance its high-performance capabilities. To own one of these exclusive models, buyers first had to select the SRT Hellcat Widebody 27Q package—a $14,605 option that includes widebody fender flares, an SRT Power Chiller, and competition suspension. The Black Ghost Special Edition package, a $5,895 add-on, provides historical styling cues such as a white trunk stripe, a patterned roof, Challenger script badging, and a Black Ghost instrument panel badge. The Pitch Black exterior is complemented by 20x10 Warp Speed Satin Carbon wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires, a twin-scoop hood with hood pins, and SRT-designed spoilers. Inside, the cabin features premium black seats, carbon-fiber trim, a Performance Shift Indicator, and a Uconnect 4C 8.4-inch touchscreen with navigation. A Harman Kardon 18-speaker audio system, a Driver Convenience Group with blind-spot detection, and HID headlamps further elevate the driving experience. The 2023 Black Ghost continues the legacy of its 1970 predecessor, blending heritage styling with modern muscle car performance. With limited production and collector appeal, this high-powered tribute is expected to draw significant attention when it crosses the block at Mecum Glendale 2025. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter
