this is far out.... Car and Driver found the history of the Hotchkis E Max Challenger!


In 1970 Charlene Bebko was about to graduate from Penn State, and  her parents paid for a new car as a graduation gift, so she went to a Dodge dealership in Erie, Pennsylvania, and checked off options for a new Dodge Challenger. 

At the end of the 70s, Charlene was building a career and working in Philadelphia, with a company car, and sold the Chally. 

Hotchkis bought the Chally on eBay in the mid-2000s, used it as a testbed for the development of suspension packages for E-Body cars. 

Fully reworked under the skin, but with its 340-cubic-inch engine only mildly overbored, the Dodge debuted at SEMA in 2008 as the E-Max.

Hotchkis sold it a month ago, and Charlene bought it, for 66k
