A once-mythical muscle car<\/a> will be crossing the auction block soon.<\/p>\n

The 1970 Dodge <\/a>Challenger <\/a>R\/T SE was owned by Detroit police officer and decorated U.S. Army veteran Godfrey “Dennis” Qualls, who used it for illegal street racing on the famed Woodward and Telegraph Avenues.<\/p>\n

Qualls kept a low profile because of his profession and didn’t mingle much with the other racers.<\/p>\n

He’d just show up every once in a while, usually win, and then drive off into the night in the 426 Hemi V8-powered coupe with its gator skin-patterned vinyl top and pistol grip shifter.<\/p>\n

HERE’S WHEN THE LAST V8 DODGE MUSCLE CAR WILL BE REVEALED<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It became known as the “Black Ghost,” but after a few years Qualls disappeared from the scene and faded into Motown lore, keeping his exploits close to the vest, and the car hidden away.<\/p>\n

That was until 2014, when he let his son Gregory in on the story about the car in the garage that he used to ride in as a little boy. A year later, Dennis died from prostate cancer, leaving the Black Ghost to Gregory, who got it fixed up with a few friends and revealed it to the world again. It was considered so significant that when the news got out, it was added to the National Historic Vehicle Registry<\/a> kept at the Library of Congress in 2020 and displayed on the National Mall.<\/p>\n

This year, Dodge is even building 300 special-edition versions of the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye<\/a> that pay tribute to the Black Ghost, all powered by the brand’s 807 hp supercharged V8 and priced around $100,000. But if you don’t mind spending a little bit<\/i> more, you can buy the real one instead.<\/p>\n

This May, Gregory is sending the Black Ghost across the auction block at the Mecum Auctions event in Indianapolis, where it is expected to sell for an astonishing amount.<\/p>\n

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the value is well into\u00a0seven figures,” Mecum Auctions vice president of consignments Frank Mecum told Fox News Digital<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even without its history, the car that Qualls paid $5,272 for is one of just 23 Challenger R\/T SEs built that year with the Hemi and 4-speed manual transmission, with high-quality survivors worth hundreds of thousands today.<\/p>\n

But those are just cars. The Black Ghost is a legend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
