IN 1970 I WENT TO THE CHICAGO AUTO SHOW AS A YOUNG TEEN AND FELL IN LOVE WITH A NEW MODEL CALLED CHALLENGER, I LIKE OTHERS THOUGHT THE HIGH IMPACT COLORS THAT MOPAR WAS TURNING OUT IN THE LATE 60'S WERE AWESOME BUT I NEVER SEEN ANYTHING QUITE LIKE THE PLUM CRAZY PURPLE COLOR, OF COURSE I COULD NOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE ANY NEW CAR BACK THEN SO ALL I DID WAS DREAM AND WATCH COMMERCIALS ABOUT THE CAR, YEARS LATER FAMILY , KIDS , YOU KNOW THE DRILL, WHEN I FINALLY GOT AROUND TO HAVING THE MONEY TO BUY ONE I WENT OUT IN MY SEARCH TO FIND MY DREAM 70, WELL I GOTTA TELL YOU THE FEW THAT I DROVE LOOKED GREAT , WERE FAST BUT DROVE LIKE GARBAGE, TIN DOOR SOUND, RATTLES, WINDOW NOISE, I JUST COULDN'T FIND THE RIGHT CAR, SOON GTO'S AND OTHER CLASSICS ENTERED MY DRIVEWAY BUT NO 70 CHALLENGER, THEN FLASH FORWARD TO 2010, DODGE COMES OUT ONCE AGAIN WITH A PLUM CRAZY PURPLE CHALLENGER, NOW I LIKED THE SPEED OF THE SRT8 BUT BEING OLD SCHOOL I PREFERRED THE LOOK OF THE RT CLASSIC, IT HAD THE WHEELS THAT LOOKED LIKE AMERICAN RACING MAGS OF THE 60'S, THE CLASSIC RT STRIPES AND THE INTERIOR SEATS WERE RETRO PATTERNED AS WELL. I ALSO WANTED ONE WITH A OEM MOPAR T/A HOOD WHICH I THOUGHT LOOKED BOSS. IN ADDITION I DID NOT WANT A SUNROOF, I FELT IT RUINED THE RETRO LOOK AND IT TOOK AWAY FROM HEAD ROOM, I LIKE TO SIT UP AND PUT MY ELBOW OUT THE WINDOW. YES IT HAS NAVIGATION OK SO I OPTED FOR THAT ONE NICETY. I FOUND THIS CAR WITH EVERYTHING I WANTED INCLUDING THE DEALER INSTALLED MOPAR ALUMINUM HOOD. IT LISTED FOR OVER 40K NEW. IT ALSO HAS A TRANSFERABLE WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES, AFTER DRIVING IT FOR ONLY A SHORT WHILE I HAD TO IMPROVE THE SPEED WITHOUT VOIDING THE WARRANTY, I ALSO COULD NOT HAVE A HOOD THAT LOOKED LIKE THAT AND NOT BE FUNCTIONAL, SO I PURCHASED THE MOPAR HOOD INDUCTION KIT FROM THE MOPAR 10 AND SENT MY THROTTLE BODY IN TO FASTMAN FOR A LITTLE PORTING, THEN I PURCHASED THE JBA CERAMIC COATED SHORTY HEADERS , THE CAR ALREADY HAD THE MOPAR CAI INSTALLED AT THE DEALER. THE JBA'S LOOKED GREAT AND INSTALLED EASY, THE WEIGHT SAVINGS ALONE SAVED 20 POUNDS. I LEFT THE EXHAUST ALONE CAUSE IN THE CABIN THE ENGINE SOUNDS SWEET TO ME AND I HAVE ENOUGH LOUD CARS IN MY GARAGE, I WANTED SMOOTH FAST AND TASTEFUL. I DETERMINED FROM MY RESEARCH THAT THIS CAR IS PUTTING OUT 424 HORSES, THE MOPAR 10 IS SAID TO BE PUTTING OUT 394 HORSE WITH THE CAI AND COLD AIR HOOD INDUCTION, THE FASTMAN THROTTLE BODY IS SAID TO AD 10 HORSE AND THE SHORTY HEADERS AROUND 20....I HAVE YET TO DYNO THE CAR BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS, YOU CAN GO AND DRIVE A BRAND NEW 2012 6 SPEED RT AT THE DODGE DEALER AND THEN COME DRIVE THIS ONE AND YOU WILL DEFINITIVELY FEEL THE DIFFERENCE. NOW IF YOU NOTICE I DID NOT PUT A PREDATOR TUNE TO IT, I HAVE HEARD GREAT THINGS ABOUT THESE UNITS BUT I AM HAPPY WITH WHAT I HAVE DONE WITH THE CAR AND AGAIN THE DEALER CAN PLUG INTO THE COMPUTER AND IT IS ALL AT STOCK SETTINGS. THIS CAR HAS NEVER SEEN SNOW OR RAIN AND HAD ITS OIL CHANGED AT 1500 MILES, IT HAS NEVER BEEN SMOKED IN. A COUPLE COOL NOTES IS THAT THE INTERIOR HAS PURPLE STICHING IN THE SEAMS AND LOOKING OUT TO THE HOOD FROM THE DRIVING PERSPECTIVE MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR DRIVING A OLD MUSCLE CAR BUT IT DON'T DRIVE LIKE THE CARS OF OLD, THESE CHALLENGERS ARE TIGHT AND DRIVE GREAT, NO RATTLES OR SQUEAKS JUST GREAT ENGINE SOUND, THE SHIFTER IS SMOOTH AS SILK. THE CAR STOPS AND CORNERS WELL. AND IT RIDES LIKE A CADILLAC . NO THESE CHALLENGER RT'S ARE NOT AS FAST AS A 5.0 MUSTANG BUT YOUR GOING TO GET MORE COMMENTS THAT THE DODGE CHALLENGER LOOKS THE BEST . BUT HEY I LOVE CAMARO'S AND MUSTANGS TOO...THEN WHY AM I SELLING THIS CAR, LETS FACE IT IT HAS ONLY 1950 MILES AND I AM SCARED TO PUT ANY MORE MILES ON IT...SIMPLY PUT , SO ITS A WASTE IN MY EYES. I LOVE CLASSIC MUSCLE CARS AND 50'S TWO DOOR HARDTOPS OR THE 57 TBIRDS, MIDYEAR CORVETTES SO I MAY SWAP FOR THE RIGHT PIECE. SO IF YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A CAR LIKE THIS YOUR GOING TO GET A GOOD ONE PLUS WARRANTY,PLUS ALL THE TASTEFUL ADD ONS, YOU JUST GOTTA BE THE TYPE THAT SAYS HECK I AM GOING TO DRIVE THE THING. NOW IF YOU DO THE MATH, THE CAR LISTED FOR 41,419 AND I ADDED OVER 2K IN COOL PARTS WITH ONLY 1950 MILES, SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET A GREAT DEAL AT THE BUY IT NOW PRICE.On Mar-04-12 at 08:07:01 PST, seller added the following information: I assumed and wrongly so that people would realize this car is as close to new as far as condition as possible, you can eat off the underneath. finish is beautiful, I feel the car is better then new due to the performance add on, which does not take away from the originality, you would not even know the headers are on there unless you get underneath the car, they cost me 750 dollars because they are ceramic coated and will not tarnish or rust, These 5.7 are extremely restrictive out of the factory and really come to life if you let them breath a little. These cars stock would only due the quarter mile in 14.10 seconds and 0-60 in over 5 seconds, still fast for what they weigh but considering the Mustang and Camaro of today, they need help! Now Dodge addressed it with the 392 and that CAR IS FAST! but your going to spend 50K to get one, I think with the enhancements I shaved a 1/2 second off the stock times , Without voiding the warranty! Car is still new with no warning lights, the ECU picked up the enhancements nicely and adjusted accordingly, Maybe a Predator tune and free flowing exhaust may get you in the low 13 teens But I wouldn't the car puts a smile on my face just the way it is.On Mar-10-12 at 07:24:55 PST, seller added the following information: price dropped to 31000 reserve is same, first and last time on ebay... first and last price drop
