Low-mid 80's Dodge Charger or possibly a Rampage too

At first I thought that two, but by 1978 the charger looked like this:
So I thought it might be a gen 2 challenger. But the grille is wrong

Looks like sho220 got it. A "Charger" in name only I guess as Wikipedia doesn't even list the 83' as a successor to the Charger.
Edit: I guess wiki does list it. I missed it the first time I looked http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Charger_(L-body)

Yea, I think it's an early 80s charger. I can see the sloped c-pillar through the window.
1982 charger |

I didn't want to make a new thread, but I was driving next to something on my way home from work today. I couldn't make out the emblems on the trunk. Any ideas???? The headlights were round.

Shagaliscious, instantly knew from seeing the picture that it's a Qvale Mangusta...
And like its predecessor, the De Tomaso Pantera, it's a Ford V8 powered Italian sportscar.

Cool, thanks man! I've seen my fair share of Panteras, but that is the first time i've seen one of those. I bet that thing moves with a V8 in it!
