'The Dodge brand has been deeply rooted in American culture for more than a century and we continue to see that connection at our auctions,' said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. 'Power and performance have been a staple of Dodge vehicles that appeals to collectors of all ages. The combination of our extensive docket that includes vehicles from this great American automaker, along with their interactive exhibit and 'Thrill Rides' that will run throughout the nine-day event, help to make Barrett-Jackson the ultimate automotive lifestyle experience for the entire family.'

Among the anticipated Dodge vehicles crossing the block is a genuine, documented and unrestored 1971 HEMI Challenger (Lot #1421) powered by a 426ci HEMI engine with a pistol-grip 4-speed manual transmission. It is one of 70 HEMI Challengers produced that year and features an A34 Super Trak Pak, power brakes and bucket seats. A rare red with black interior 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona (Lot #1369) is one of 503 produced in early summer 1969 for the first NASCAR race at Talladega. It features its original 440ci Magnum engine with a 4-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust with a correct date-coded automatic transmission.

The pickup, a staple of Dodge history, will also feature prominently at Scottsdale, including a 1941 Dodge Power Wagon (Lot #1311.1). The custom-built Military Power Wagon is nicknamed 'Full Metal Jacket,' and features smooth seams and a full custom Brazilian hardwood bed accented by hand-brushed nickel.
