      This Challenger T/A 392 was sold at auction with only 232 miles on the clock.

      It is equipped with the Dynamics Package, the Plus Package, and the T/A Package.

      It changed hands for only $50,500, well below its original MSRP of $67,120.

      Even as the performance car market evolves, there's still a certain appeal to a naturally aspirated V8 in a rear-wheel-drive coupe. While Dodge has shifted towards electric models with the new Charger, consolidating both the Charger and Challenger into a single model available as an EV or a twin-turbo six-cylinder, many enthusiasts are not quite ready to part ways with the muscle car tradition.

      Fortunately, those who aren't swayed by the brand's new direction can still find attractive deals on nearly-new Challengers from the latest model years.

      To mark the end of the Challenger era, Dodge launched seven ‘Last Call’ series models. Some of these special editions have been commanding high premiums in the used market, but it's still possible to snag a great deal on one. Earlier this month, a Challenger fetched just $50,500 on Bring a Trailer, despite its original sticker price of $67,120, representing a $16,620 difference.

      A More Accessible Last Call Challenger

      This particular Last Call is a Challenger T/A 392 model, which, while not as powerful as the Last Call versions of the Hellcat, has plenty to offer. Notably, it features Dodge’s well-regarded 392 cubic-inch Hemi V8, delivering 485 hp and 475 lb-ft (644 Nm) of torque. While it may lack the large supercharger found in the Hellcat and Demon, most drivers don’t actually need over 700 hp in a road car.

      The initial owner of this vehicle opted for numerous factory upgrades. For instance, it includes the $3,485 Plus Package, which adds ventilated and heated front seats, blind-spot monitoring, lock nuts, and a premium-stitched dashboard. Additionally, the $2,190 Dynamics Package enhances the car with six-piston front Brembo brakes, adaptive suspension, Pirelli tires, and a flat-bottom steering wheel.

      Moreover, Dodge’s $5,385 T/A Package adds Alcantara and Nappa leather seating, a Mopar cold air intake, model-specific graphics, and gloss black 20-inch wheels. The vehicle also features the upgraded $1,795 Harman Kardon audio system, which includes 18 speakers for an enhanced audio experience.

      With merely 232 miles on the odometer, this model was auctioned on Bring a Trailer with no reserve. For a well-equipped Last Call Challenger, the sale price of $50,500 represents a considerable value, especially since it undercuts the starting price of the all-new Charger EV by nearly $10,000.
