The Challenger look alike, i believe, was an exercise by one of the Nascar teams. Basically, a version of the new Nationwide series cars that will debut
at several tracks this year. I believe it was pitched to SCCA as what the next gen
TA cars could be.

I can at least figure out what kind of car it is without looking for a sticker.
Way back in the '70s Dodge sold Duster and Challenger shell kits for racers...

Wild guess here the SCCA and T/A stickers are a rouse
it is a Chip Gannasi built Challange. Maybe a test of a Nationwide Cup road race car ??
Love the 4 speed transmission. takes T1 in first were we take it in 3rd.

After seeing a better view in that video I was some what disappointed, it appears to just be a nationwide car
I'm still way more impressed with the HOWE body made for the camaro cup in sweden
