Mopar limited edition of the Challenger to be offered by Chrysler.

Chrysler is going to sell a special Mopar limited edition of the Dodge Challenger sporty car starting in August.

The company will build 500 Mopar 2010 Challengers at its Brampton, Ontario, plant.

Chrysler says the car, with a functional hood scoop, is the first Mopar edition of one of its vehicles. Mopar is Chrysler's service and parts brand.

The automatic transmission version will be priced at $38,000, including freight, while the manual-transmission version will sell for $39,000, including freight. Both will be powered by Chrysler's 5.7-liter Hemi V-8.

The car will be offered in black with three accent colors: blue, red or silver. The accent colors will appear on side stripes and the baseball-style stitching on the steering wheel and seats.

Customers will receive a special kit when they buy the car that includes a certificate with the VIN number and date the car was built along with a sketch of the vehicle by Chrysler Group designer Mark Trostle.
