Mopar Celebrates 75 Years With Four Modified Rides

To celebrate its 75th anniversary, Mopar recently revealed four custom vehicles that will be on display at the upcoming 2012 Chicago Auto Show,February 10–19. The customized models that will carry what Mopar refersto as its best-in-class parts and accessories include the Mopar '12 300, ’13 Dodge Dart 'GTS 210 Tribute,' the ’12 Fiat 500 'Stinger' and the ’12 Mopar Jeep Compass 'True North.'

While the Mopar '12 300 will be available this summer straight from the factory, components for the Fiat 500, Jeep Compass and Dodge Dart custom configurations will be available this fall as stage kits or by individual components through the Mopar catalog.

Mopar kicked-off its year-long 75th anniversary in January at the 2012 North American International Auto Show with the introduction of the Chrysler 200 Super S by Mopar and the Dodge Charger Redline.

Mopar reports that the Mopar '12 300 will build on the success of the Mopar versions of the 2010 Dodge Challenger and ’11 Dodge Charger. The new '12 300 transforms Chrysler's 300 flagship sedan into a performance machine with parts and appearance products straight from the Mopar catalog.		’The ’13 Dodge Dart 'GTS 210 Tribute' will feature additional matte-black trim pieces, including a lower chin spoiler, side sills, rear spoiler and rear-diffuser panel. With performance calibration that maximizes fuel/air mix and spark advance, improved airflow and low back-pressure exhaust, the 'GTS 210 Tribute' achieves 210 hp from a base engine of 184 hp.
The ’12 Fiat 500 'Stinger' builds on the SEMA Award for Hottest Sport Compact presented during the 2011 SEMA Show. The New Fiat 500 'Stinger' integrates two Mopar stage kits that deliver bolder styling and select high-performance parts from Mopar's catalog.		Mopar is set to further improve the off-road form and function of the Jeep Compass with its offerings for the 'True North' model. Exterior features include a matte-black finish on the roof, wheel flares, lower fascia and door cladding, as well as rear fog lights, 16-inch alloy wheels with BFGoodrich All Terrain tires and a two-inch lift kit from Rocky Road Suspensions.
