what dodge has gotten $2 million at auction?

Challenger Convertible with a Hemi. Any of the "Mopar's" with original Hemi's and a Convertible top are worth a fortune cause so few of them were made.

I'm going to point out now, that I don't care about the "differences" between a Dodge, Plymouth, or a Chrysler. I throw them all into 1 and refer to them as Dodge. It makes using Married with Children Jokes about their products that much easier

Eh, same company, close enough.

Not many Dodges sell for that price, but almost every Hemi 'Cuda 'vert seems to go for that much. The most expensive Dodge I found at Barret-Jackson was this ugly-colored but still sexy Hemi Daytona Coupe: $412500.00. It's usually cars with rare numbers-matching engine options, like Hemi Coronets $660,000 and this nice piece of concept history ($1,100,000.00), but it's a one-of-a-kind so that explains it.

btw, Barret-Jackson has lots of stupidly hi-res pictures of their classic cars, you should all take a look.

From memory, for a brief period during the 1970s, the Australian Ford Falcon GTHO III was the most powerful (fastest?) production sedan in the world.

A lot of middle aged people (now with lots of money) are now buying cars that they missed out on during their childhood/teenage years. That's why we've been seeing quite a few retro designs.
