Thirty years from now, the first dozen matching-numbers or so Dodge Challengers will sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Well, maybe. Just watch any footage from the Barret-Jackson highlight reel and you’ll know what we mean. The final version (enough with the “concepts” already) will debut Feb. 6 at the Chicago Auto Show.

Expect the cars to be auctioned at Barret-Jackson, a private Dodge dealer and of course the mother of all auctions, eBay.

That said, the first three 2008 Dodge Challengers (proudly made in Ontario, Canada) will be auctioned off to the following organizations:

• Dodge Challenger No. 1 to benefit notMYkid
• Dodge Challenger No. 2 to benefit United Way of Southeastern Michigan
• A Third Dodge Challenger will be auctioned off on eBay.com in early 2008
