Dodge (1914 to Present)

Dodge, an American automotive powerhouse established in 1900, has transitioned from its early days as the "Dodge Brothers" parts supplier to becoming the premier architect of the modern muscle car, with market values in Australia for 2026 reflecting its high-octane prestige. While the brand officially ended production of its legendary HEMI V8 Challenger and Charger in 2023, the all-new 2026 Dodge Charger has arrived as a "multi-energy" marvel, offering both a 670hp electric Daytona and a 550hp "SIXPACK" twin-turbo inline-six, with Australian imports and right-hand-drive conversions for these latest models—as well as the monstrous Durango SRT Hellcat—frequently commanding between $180,000 and $300,000 AUD. The desirability of the brand remains exceptionally high, fueled by the visceral "Last Call" editions and the iconic Viper, which has become a blue-chip investment piece with late-model ACR variants now fetching over $350,000 AUD locally. The buyer pool is a dedicated collective of American muscle purists and high-performance investors who value Dodge's unapologetic "outlaw" branding and its status as the last bastion of true, widebody street presence, ensuring that even as the brand embraces electrification, its petrol-powered heritage continues to dominate the secondary market in Australia.
