Online streamer Duke Dennis has millions of followers, but that fame comes at a price, like having his Final Call Dodge Challenger Black Ghost stolen from his house. But the guy didn’t get famous by just playing victim, so Dennis tracked the limited edition muscle car down and had the thief arrested.
Mark Zuckerberg’s daily driver might shock you.
Trouble began for Dennis after he said some fans figured out exactly where he lives. That’s when people started camping outside his house and a couple of his vehicles were broken into. But thankfully the man had a plan in case someone swiped his pricey Mopar.
Dodge only made 300 of the Challenger Black Ghost Last Call muscle cars, using the Hellcat Redeye Widebody as the base vehicle. Output is dialed up to 807-horsepower, but what really makes the Mopar hot are the unique aesthetics.
Each one was designed to look like the famed Black Ghost, a 1970 Dodge Challenger RT SE which would race others on Woodward Avenue in Detroit back in the 70s. Supposedly, the mysterious muscle car never lost, often disappearing for months at a time, hence it being called a ghost by other street racers.
While the original Black Ghost sold for over $1 million back at a Mecum auction in 2023, these limited edition tribute cars aren’t worth nearly as much. But they’re still pricey, with listings for those still at dealers sitting around $130,000 or so. MSRP for the Last Call model was announced at $100,000.
With the Mopar muscle car worth that much, one would think the owner would have some extra security. We know Dennis had a couple of trackers installed, which he used to see where the Dodge was after the unnamed thief swiped it.
Hopping on streaming, he declared that he was on his way to get the Challenger back and that police were called, later saying the thief was busted and his ride was recovered. Now the streamer is apparently considering moving so he isn’t targeted again.
