Does anyone know if/when they are going to start building and shipping new Challengers again? Thanks!

I was reading on edmunds.com last week that the only plant that has been reopened now is the Viper plant. Since dodge couldnt sell it, they're keeping it. They still plan to shut it back down for two weeks in july.

Don't forget they had all those Challengers built and stored on the old military base prior to the plant shut downs.

So they should still have adequate stock.

They are obviously not to overstocked.  I have tried to buy a Challenger and you would think Chrysler was a fortune 500 Co. they just refuse to deal!  I was told the best they can do is 1k under sticker.

I hear ya went to the dealer hear in Michigan when I found out they could get a B5 blue RT was told he would call me in 1 hr with a price. 2 days later I stoped by said they had trouble with Canada and should have a price in a day or so. 1 week passed nothing so went out and bought a 71 Challenger my first E Body love it and glad I did what I did,so much for helping out the economy!!!

41husk,how many dealers did you go to to try and pick one up?It's worth a shot to go to multiple dealers and check their stock and try to deal,some around me are the same way.I did not play their game,if they started with the going back and forth,telling me they can't really discount them, they are selling them selves,etc,I basically said I am not going to waste your time or mine and walked out.Suprisingly a couple did'nt even try to drag you back in,so you are right ,they refuse to deal.Luckily I found a dealer that what I thought was giving me a real good deal,sold me one that could'nt nail it any better if I ordered it(the exact options I wanted).My friend who bought one also,is friends with the owners son who runs/works the sales floor so I geuss that helped.I got mine for a little more than $2K less than sticker,did'nt think I would do better than that so I grabbed it.This was back in March though.
It's funny,one dealer I tried to buy at kept telling me "we sell 10-12 a week",the other day at a local mopar show sponsered buy them and put on at their dealership,I saw one particular car I was looking at from back in March!!!!

I have been to four different dealers, one was even losing its franchise had two of them and said they sold both for 1k under sricker.  I should have jumped back a few months ago when the factory was offering 4k off
