the dealers can’t give you updates on the status of our cars because they dont know.
i work at a dodge dealership, i ordered mine dec. 3 2007. our chrysler rep is in the dark just like we are! it’ll get here when it gets here.
I will never purchase a four door vehicle again. The lines of this car are exceptional. My kids and friends told me it was worth folding the front seat and bending a little to get a ride in the back. Well worth the wait.
Looks awesome and powerful, like the late 60’s model.
Loved the video. Keep ‘em coming!
Jackson’s car is Black and is the one in the background on the video. It was the first one off the line.
No Challengers have shipped yet. Those were pre-production models at the race.
Bob
order mine early dec…got “D” status.dealer said to expect it 1st week of june,not holding my breath.can`t get here quick enough,good luck guys!
09 srt8 is now available in Hemi orange!
Bob helped our voice get to Dodge!
Yes..now hoping for Go Mango or Cintron Yellow Challenger
If this tracking is right and if Bob is correct about the time frame there is no way he is going to get his car by the 5/15. He his still stuck in confirmation.. I have been a MOPAR fan for 22 years and it looks like Dodge may have forgotten how to take care of true customers. I wonder if Barrett’s car and Petty’s car actually got to them?? anyone know??
Waiting in Michigan - hang in there. My just popped up and will be made in the next two weeks. I understand that the reason they are slow is that they are doing many more quality checks than usual because they want to make sure every detail is perfect. We have waited this long.
i put money down on mine the day after they announced it would be made and have been put out in the dark and am still stuck in d status so i can’t even log on to the website to check and see if they are doing anything my vin no. is a real low one if i don’t get a real low dash tag and they screw that around (which i fully expect to happen) i probably will take my business elsewhere and this come from a guy who has spent almost 200k on dodge vehicles in the last 5 years . a courtesy call or some kind of back scratch would be appreciated
No, Craig Jackson’s car #1 is Hemi Orange with sunroof, Mygig and perf tires. Delivery is set to be at the May 10 Challenger 500 at Darlington. Thats probably why we finally got one off the line.
I think Craig Jackson’s car is black….
So I suspect that was Craig Jacksons car rolling off the line as #1 Chally built.
Okay, a couple of comments. Nice job Brampton. Now if we could get Dodge/Chrysler customer service to do their jobs and provide information to the customers about the rest of the 08 orders and when things are going to happen with the 09’s. We should see a large run of Challengers, which were ordered 5/6 months ago, with maybe a Charger/300 sprinkled in NOT the other way around. Finally, this is the second mention I have heard that 09 orders are underway (in the video and on Allpar). If the orders are underway, why don’t any of the people who check these blogs on a daily basis know about them?
Finally, after 35 years we now have a mopar muscle car! We want the high impact colors now, so please put them on your web site under the color options. I have been holding on to my mopar for 10 years waiting for the Challenger and now you still aren’t offering the cool colors. B5 blue doesn’t cut the mustard…it is a color blind old man’s color. Gas is going to hit $5 dollars a gallon this summer so you better sell them while you can. You can put the Hybrid in them in 2010 to pick up the sales. How about a turbo V6? Anyhow, thanks for bringing back a Awesome looking car and remember to offer Sublime, Plum Crazy, Petty Blue, Lemon Twist Yellow and just a plane black.
Nice to hear you’re gonna build as many as we order! I’d hate to see the price gouging continue into the 09s. Especially on the r/t and v6s.
Well …. There is one down!! Only 6399 to go.
Wow. Hey did ya see all those Chargers coming after the Challenger? Too bad it wasn’t the other way around. Nice video. Thank you for sharing Dodge. OK. Let the Excitement begin!
I can hardly wait to order my ‘09 Challenger. All I have to do now is wait for my particular color selection to show up and I am there. So, Dodge, what do you think? 2010 for Catch-me-Copper??
i heard 09 pricing comes out next week sometime…waiting.
A bob ARE you there,good mtivation video but we don’t know thw date to order the 2009,
and We never saw what kind a plate number chrysler fix on the 2008 challenger to give a unique number, it will be interresting to see that identification , went we look the ford mustang Roush model he show that plate?
