Unfortunately, both the brand Dodge and the model name Dodge Challenger are trademarked. Would you be willing to remove references to the trademarked names, remove or alter logos (if any) and make this a more generalized muscle car? I know that kind of defeats the purpose of having such an iconic car, but art featuring trademarked content can't be licensed to the public domain.
If anyone has more information about this kind of IP, please let me know. Until we know more I have to mark this with a licensing issue for now. Let me know if you have any questions. :)
As I stated on the other submission page, my intent was not to upset you nor to allow people to steal your hard work. Quite the opposite. However, there are very real legal conflicts between the licenses accepted on this site and the terms you've outlined. I am not just making that up to be a troll. See my response on the other thread for additional information: https://opengameart.org/content/8-bit-horror-nes-style-music-pack#comment-79384
My intent was not to screw up your day. I apologize if that is the case.
There is no field available for adding your own license. OGA only allows the licenses listed on the Submit Art page: CC0, OGA-BY, CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, and GPL. The Copyright/Attribution Notice field is for specifying how you would like to be credited and if you would like a URL listed with the attribution. It is not for specifying additional stipulations, which are specifically disallowed by all but one of those licenses:
No additional restrictions - You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits.
Or, for the GPL:
You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
The insistence on allowing others to be able to legally repackage or resell assets is not so that others may profit off of your hard work. It is legally necessary so game developers can use the assets at all. If they make the assets available for free in their game, but still create a game that earns revenue, they would be breaking the license terms despite best intentions since selling the game is technically selling the assets as well, even if the assets are also available for free. Even if their game was free, if it were ever hosted on a website with advertisements, that would legally count as earning revenue which calls into question the legality of "reselling". Even without any ads or revenue of any kind, distribution of the game at all would create a problem with "repackaging" and "redistribution".
I understand your desire to disallow resale or redistribution of your hard work. Your assets are your property, and the license you choose to release them under is entirely your prerogative. However, we do not allow any licenses except the ones I've listed above.
If you are not willing to revise the additional stipulations in the description to adhere to the license you've selected (Previously CC-BY and CC0, currently GPL) then I'm afraid the assets cannot be hosted here.
I hope you will keep the assets here since I think they're pretty good, but if you wish them removed, that is your choice. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
You should know, however, that the license you've selected contradicts your stipulations about
"You may not include, redistrubute, sell, or license this content in an asset pack."
Both OGA-BY and CC0 allow all these things. Actually, all the licenses accepted on OGA allow for redistribution, reselling, and- to some extent depending on the license- relicensing assets, even in asset packs with no value-added.
With a license that requires attribution like OGA-BY or CC-BY, it is unlikely anyone would actually be successful in reselling your assets since they would be required to link back here (where their customers would see they could just get it for free) but it is still allowed by the license. I also noticed you included CC0, which does not require the attribution you've requested in the description.
I recommend replacing the CC0 license selection with CC-BY to be sure attribuiton is enforcable as well as removing the stipulations about no redistribution, reselling, relicensing as those additions are actually forbidden by the -BY licenses no additional restrictions clause.
Until then I have to mark this as having a licensing issue. Let me know if you have any questions. :)

interesting 8-bit mash-up.
Be sure to include bart's attribution instructions here as well:
That is a fantastic looking model.

Thank you for sharing.
However, the following stipulations conflict with the licenses accepted on OGA:
