The original Dodge "Yellow Jacket" show car evolved from the 1970 Challenger. Like the Super Bee, it was part of Dodge's "Scat Pack" of high-performance cars and was shown at various auto show exhibits beginning in late 1969.
Painted pearlescent Honey Gold, the roadster was powered by the 426-cubic inch HEMI® V8 and carried a number of the famous performance features, such as a unique front spoiler, wider tires, heavy-duty suspension and brakes, and manual transmission, along with the Rallye instrument cluster and shaker hood.
