While scrolling through the Mopar® Octane Facebook group, I stumbled upon a post by Andrew P. Mills showcasing two photos of his garage – packed wall-to-wall with Mopar muscle. In those photos alone, I counted six modern Dodge Chargers, along with several other Dodge and Chrysler brand vehicles. Intrigued, I messaged him to find out just how many Chargers he owns.
Turns out, Mills has eight Chargers – seven modern and one classic – plus four more modern Dodges, another classic Dodge, a V10-powered Dodge pickup, a few Chrysler models and a classic Chrysler. That brings his total Mopar vehicle count to 17 vehicles, 14 of which carry the Dodge badge – making him a perfect fit for a DodgeGarage spotlight.
Let’s break down his fleet, starting with the Chargers (mileages noted where available):
- 1972 SE with a 400-cubic-inch big block
- 2007 SRT8 Super Bee, 1 of 1,000 (40k miles)
- 2009 SRT8 Super Bee, 1 of 4,000 (53k miles)
- 2011 Mopar Edition R/T, 1 of 1,000 (16k miles)
- 2013 SRT8, 1 of 2,200 (45k miles)
- 2016 SRT® Hellcat (16k miles)
- 2020 SRT Hellcat Daytona 50th Anniversary Edition, 1 of 501 (9k miles)
- 2023 Mopar Edition Scat Pack Widebody, 1 of 220 (6k miles)
Beyond the Chargers, his Dodge lineup includes:
- 2018 Challenger SRT Demon, 1 of 3,300
- 2010 Challenger Mopar 10, 1 of 500 (just 60 miles)
- 2007 Magnum SRT8
- 2021 Challenger Scat Pack Shaker (3k miles)
- 2nd-gen Ram 2500 V10 (26k miles)
- 1960 Dart Phoenix with a 318 Wide Block
Rounding out the Chrysler side:
- All-original 1967 New Yorker with a 440 big block (68k miles) – his first Mopar vehicle, sold and later repurchased
- 2005 Crossfire SRT6
- 2014 Chrysler 300 SRT8
When asked about his collecting goals, Mills shared:
“I go after unique, low-mileage cars. It’s part investment, part passion. My grandfather was a Dodge mechanic for over 40 years – I grew up around Mopars. I trade up when I find better examples. Chargers are perfect for a guy with five kids – four-door muscle. Love the look of Challengers, but they’re not as practical for me.”
That investment mindset explains the ultra-low 60-mile count on his 2010 Mopar 10. Still, Mills makes a point to enjoy his rides.
“The Mopar 10 is the only one I don’t drive. I had a low-mile Demon, but sold it to buy one with 20k miles so I could actually enjoy it. I like originality, but not at the cost of seat time – I drive at least one of them every week.”
His two favorite cars to drive? The 2016 Charger SRT Hellcat and the 2005 Crossfire SRT6.
Mills has owned plenty of Mopar vehicles over the years, including a Ram 1500 TRX, Power Wagon, 1978 Super Coupe and a 1976 van. As for future additions, he’s got his sights set on a 1969 Charger, a 426 HEMI® engine-powered Coronet, and more limited-run Mopar Editions like the Durango Mopar ’22, Challenger Mopar ’14 and ’17, and the Chrysler 300 Mopar ’12.
