Dodge Challenger Rt Classic B5 Blue on 2040-cars

In 2009, Dodge offered a "Challenger R/T Classic" model to celebrate the re-release of their iconic musclecar. The R/T Classic included 20" chrome retro-style wheels, a retro R/T Side Stripe, retro Script badging, and a limited number were available in B5 Blue, just like they were in 1970. Dodge manufactured a total of 31,500 Challengers in 2009 before Chrysler halted production due to the economy. Only 759 Challengers were produced in B5 Blue that year, and only 523 of those were the R/T Classic. That's just 1.66% of production. After their financing was secured and their marriage to Fiat was arranged, a few more Challengers may have rolled off the line, but it is believed that none of these were B5 Blue as their production run had already ended. Of the 523 B5 Blue R/T Classics produced, 244 came with manual transmissions (this one) and 279 came with automatics. These cars aren't numbered like Dodge's other "Limited Edition" cars such as the Charger Daytona (of which thousands are produced). These are "Sleeper Collectibles". Very limited production insures long-term desirability, and this is a 1-in-244 car. And it's highly-optioned to boot. There's even an "Easter Egg" in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the form of a resettable 0-60 MPH timer.

Low-mileage, and the best upgrades are included on this car. The Challenger has a SMS 296 Supercharger that was installed at Hennessey in February of 2010.  The front license plate holes are untapped. The windows aren't even tinted. The oil has been changed every 3000 miles.

Since purchased, this car has been garage kept under the original car cover.  It has only ever been hand-washed, top-to-bottom, since I've owned it. I purchased this car "new" with 3 miles on it.  2000 miles are break-in highway from dealership to my house, to Hennessey and back for the supercharger installation. 

A 90 milimeter throttle body and Hop Not kit were installed in 2010.  The SMS 296 supercharger cost $7,500 in 2009 and the installation was another $3,169.  I added the 85 mm pulley ($600) to get the boost to over 6 psi.  The new dyno run showed 502 rear rear horse power vs the 456 from Hennesey with just the supercharger back in February 2010.  Please feel to email with any questions you have.

Thanks,
