A pair of modern-day "Swingers" with a retro-themed appearance are joining the Dodge brand's "Last Call." The special-edition 2023 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack Swinger and 2023 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack Swinger represent the third and fourth of seven special-edition Dodge "Last Call" models and give a nod back to the unique style of the Dodge brand's "swinging" muscle car lineup of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The original Dodge Dart Swinger was a member of the Dodge "Scat Pack" club, packing formidable horsepower into a compact package, and included "groovy" options, such as green-on-green interior/exterior color combinations, gold color accents and wood panel interior touches. The 2023 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack Swinger and 2023 Dodge Charger Scat Pack Swinger modern-day special-edition models reach back to that past for inspiration, delivering a throwback exterior and interior appearance.

The 2023 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack Swinger and 2023 Dodge Charger Scat Pack Swinger follow recently announced Dodge Challenger Shakedown and Dodge Charger Super Bee models. Dodge "Last Call" special-edition models celebrate the Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger, which in their current form are coming to an end. 

Six special-edition Challenger and Charger models will be revealed through September 21, 2022. The seventh and final 2023 Dodge model — the very last of its kind — will be revealed at the 2022 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, scheduled for Nov. 1-4, 2022. 

"The name says it all – the originals had a unique, fun character, and that's the same reaction we're hoping for with our 2023 Dodge Challenger and Charger R/T Scat Pack Swinger models," said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge brand chief executive officer – Stellantis. "Dodge Swinger models have always held a unique spot in the Dodge muscle-car pantheon, and these modern-day models bring that fun back to life." 

Only 1,000 each of the 2023 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack Swinger and 2023 Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack Swinger will be produced, both as Widebody models. Those seeking to recreate a classic green-on-green Swinger look can choose from F8 Green and Sublime Green exterior color options, with a White Knuckle option is also available.
