Dodge Challenger Yellow Jacket Showcar

[1972challenger]

OK folks...with all the pics we've seen of the new Challenger showcar and an article on the Panther Pink Chicago Challenger in the new issue of Mopar Collectors' Guide, does anybody know whatever happened to the Yellow Jacket car from (I believe) late '69?

JS27R0B100022 - It started life as a 1970 Hemi Challenger convertible and was converted into the Yellow Jacket show car. After it had been shown as the Yellow Jacket, it was retooled again and became the Diamante. It still exists, give me a minute or two to find the link.....

Thanks for the quick reply. GREAT PHOTOS!!! :clapping:Makes me wonder how cool it would have been to see a '75 or '76 model..it would have given the Trans Ams a serious run for the money in the mid '70s.

I won a "my classic car " licance plate by identifying the dianonte on their website a few years ago!

Wow! The yellow jacket is friggin cool! It makes those later tail lights look great in triplicate.

I wonder if anybody will ever make a recreation. Seems like it would be a a cool project.

Are there any other pictures of the yellow jacket? I Googled and found nothing else.
