Renowned custom-car builder Rich Evans joined forces with Mopar® over the summer to create a one-of-a-kind Mopar-modified Dodge Challenger for the 2010 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas, Nev., Nov. 2–5, 2010. Evans’ final creation, transformed into a modern-muscle standout utilizing Mopar parts and accessories, was revealed this evening at a press conference in Mopar’s 15,300 square-foot SEMA exhibit.

The Mopar makeover commenced on July 15 when the 2010 base-model Dodge Challenger arrived at Evans’ shop, Huntington Beach Bodyworks in Southern California. Evans’ creativity kicked into overdrive immediately as he designed an eye-catching, edgy new blue-and-silver graphic scheme specifically for the vehicle. Evans also disassembled the car and modified each part with his personal touch.

“This is one of the coolest and most interesting projects I have ever had the pleasure to work on,” said Evans. “Collaborating with the Mopar team has been a blast. The hardest part was going through Mopar catalogs and deciding which parts and accessories to use.
