Dixie Challenger

Description[]

Dixie Challenger is a 1970s-style muscle car first introduced the 1981 line-up. This is a heavily modified version of the Rodger Dodger, Bye-Focal and other related castings with a new tool and die-cast for cost savings due to lesser parts. It has 16 exhaust pipes on the base.
