Ponch only sees in two colors.  Orange isn't one of them.

I know a guy who has a 2008 charger i think thats the year that has only 1200 miles he claims its gonna be worth millions like the old charger he saids.  He has a photo where the car sat on the lot, all papers, everything u can document.  Claims its worth 80k right now from a appraiser........

What's worth more today? 

Original 1970 340 Challenger with a factory SHAKER, or a 1970 318 Challenger with 340 heads and a home made shaker???   

depends on whos buying. Ive said this before...I just dont think these cars will have the same level of collectability of the classic era muscle cars. just look at the first edition numbered 2008 challengers....

[JB400]

I doubt if the Charger Daytona's would be even worth half of what a classic Charger is in the same condition, in about 10 years time.

[1974dodgecharger]

If they decided to put a modern 440 in a new chally i can see that being collectible.

heh...shaker hood kits for new gen challenger have been in the aftermarket for years. Likely, for a lot less than what it will cost to add this as a factory option.

A Cervini hood is about $1,800.00, plus shipping & paint so why does the factory charge $2,500.00?  

Because it meets all the frontal impact, pedestrian safety, rust out and warranty standards, to name a few things... 

Your worried about all of this in a hood.  Geeez

I'm not worried at all, about anything.  Just stating a fact to a question asked about cost.   

[odcics2]

Just to clarify...  I really like my Challenger; it looks good is comfortable & looks good, but I  just don't see it becoming as a collector car. I take care of it by keeping it garaged and driving it in the rain doesn't bother me, but not in the snow or havily salted roads.

Bought my 68 Charger a few years old and drove it year round, in salt, snow, etc.  (did ok, too, like all the other rear driving cars out there!!)

It was just a car, like the thousands all around you back then...    Oh, paid $750. for it - the going price!!!      43K miles from one owner!

Bottom line - who knows what will become collectable in the distant future?    We'll all be gone. 

[1974dodgecharger]

Things that are not considered collectible will be collectible.  Alot of people buying the new challis and chargers are betting on they will be collectible hence why they won't be in the future let it be 20 years or so.....

You may not be, but you can be damn sure Chrysler is.  In today's day and age you've gotta cover your ass at every turn.  Safety standards and the fear of getting sued or recalling are harder then ever before. 

[6spd68]

Agreed, just look at the G-body 442's and Hurst Olds...  You can get one mint for 5000$.  Although why would you really want too?

So if you replace the factory hood with a aftermarket one, it voids all warranties in a crash ?

[odcics2]

Very good question!

You can bet that some insurance companies would try to wiggle out of a claim!   


If you change the chip in a car and the engine blows, it's not covered...    Yeah - very good question...

[6spd68]

Flip that around a bit... You're driving along the highway, aftermarket hood installed.  It releases, smashes your window, blocks your vision.  You end up driving into a ditch, hitting a tree, and killing the passenger next to you...

Chrysler holds no responsibility as YOU were the one who had a non-original part installed on YOUR car.

Same situation with a stock hood?  Different outcome, and grounds for a suit/recall...

[64dartgt]

Wow!  The factory is offering an option that has been readily available aftermarket for years now...and that is exciting how 

Next thing you know they will bring back RT stripes and chrome flip top gas caps. 

How about knocking 5K off the ridiculously overpriced SRT?

Aint that the truth!

  Agreed

Start looking at the Core models like the Yellow Jacket.

[Budnicks]

I dont care what it costs.....really digging this color combo....just sayin  

I like it, I like the Super Track Pack Option too, it's pretty pricey thou....  if your going to spend $50k-$60k  what's another $5K for style & handling...
