During the 1960s, an enthusiast movement bubbled at Dodge. What resulted was a series of cars that started to roll out in 1968, oozingperformance. Cars like the Coronet R/T, Charger R/T, Dart GTS and the Yellow Jacket, among others. Now, here at the 2011 LA Auto Show, the Yellow Jacket has been resurrected.
The color choice is limited for the Yellow Jacket—it’s available only in attention-grabbing Stinger Yellow. The special model also features side stripes on the body and Yellow Jacket logos on the rear quarter panels. The wheels are the same as those on the Super Bee: cast aluminum split 5-spoke designs with black accents. Inside thecabin, the leather seats feature yellow striping and Yellow Jacket logos. The powertrain for the Yellow Jacket is the same as in the Challenger,which means a manual transmission will be available. Hooray!
The original Yellow Jacket didn’t make it past the auto show circuit. This one, however, will, albeit limited to a production run of 1000. Pricing hasn’t been announced for the 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Yellow Jacket, but expect it to be slightly higher than the regular Challenger SRT8, in the high $40s. Buyers can put down their orders starting in December. Cars arrive at dealers in the first quarter of 2012.
