XV 71 Challenger Convertible - PICS

[dqhemi]

We just finished up this car and are really happy with how it came out.

We brought it to a show last week along with some others and people flipped over it.

Here's a few quick shots.
If you want to see it, it will be at our open house Sat June 16.
This may well be the last public appearance for this car as it will go to its new owner right after the open house.

LOL!

Actually, we've been accused of creating "car porn" on several occasions now.

Thanks!

[hutch]

if they made cars like that today, you would have to get on a waiting list for it.  that is art on wheels.

[runningman]

Awesome, is that viper blue or electric blue?  I am going with electric blue on mine

It's a custom color we created for this car.

As smokin hot as she is, I would have to pass on her as well. . . My wife would never let me keep her.

I'm glad you guys are really liking this ride!   
We thought it was pretty awesome, but great to hear othe rpeople feel the same way.

Thanks!

Goals are a really good thing!

Well the prices of convert shells are going up faster than you can say Charger.
So my guess is a year from now the same build will be a chunk more.

Basically you're looking at a $216,000 build and this car has all the bells and whistles.
Even billet hood hinges we made.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Thank you for your concise, honest answer.  Obviously a build like this is geared toward a client that has done well in life.  I always wondered what something like that would cost to build.
I guess when you think about all the R & D and customization that goes into the build, the price is spot on.

Kudos to you & your company John
