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 and 279 came with automatics like this one. 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-279 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.

I purchased this car new in 2009 with the intention of pampering it for 25 years and being the old guy at the car auction with the one-owner, low-mileage, all-original HEMI Challenger. But a change in my priorities means *you* can be the one pulling the dust cover off of your two-owner, low-mileage, all-original HEMI Challenger. I have made absolutely no alterations to this car.  The front license plate holes are untapped. The windows aren't even tinted. It is exactly the way it came from the dealer except for gas, oil, and a set of MOPAR security lug nuts. There is a tiny pair of paint chips inside the door frame on the driver's side that were there when I purchased the car. I have not attempted to have them repaired. It's cosmetic and I considered them a birth mark of sorts. There's another tiny surface scratch in the clear coat on the driver's door. Its origin is unknown, but there's no damage to the door.

Since purchased, this car has been sheltered by a 4-layer NOAH Block-It custom-fit car cover under a CoverCraft 10' x 20' steel canopy with UV-blocking top. The canopy sits against a solid fence and underneath a shade tree, and the perimeter of the canopy frame is wrapped in hardware cloth to prevent any debris from being blown/thrown into the area. This car is not exposed to the elements except for temperature changes (much like a garage). It has only ever been hand-washed, top-to-bottom, since I've owned it. I purchased this car "new" with over 1,000 miles on it. The dealership manager couldn't resist adopting it for a month before selling it (thanks, buddy). At the time, it was one of only two B5 Blue Challengers for sale in the state of Georgia. I drove it to Illinois twice in 2010, but the rest of the miles are slow "neighborhood" miles - just enough to get it warmed up every couple of months and turn the wheels a bit. And maybe take a few pictures. The NOAH cover I originally bought in 2009 was getting a bit saggy and fuzzy, so I purchased a new one in 2014. It is included with the car in this auction.

B5 Blue is a legendary color, and a close look at the photos on this auction will tell you why. The base color is a beautiful shade of blue by itself, but when the sun hits it, it springs to life. The blue gets richer and it takes on a turquoise specular halo. Absolutely everyone compliments it. The value in this particular car lies not just in its beauty and rarity of color, but also its condition and mileage. I've looked on eBay, and I've seen a few B5 Blue Challengers selling for much less. They're driver cars, with higher mileage, add-on goodies, and a few dings here and there. If you want a pretty blue Challenger to drive around and park in a crowded parking lot, you'll have plenty of less expensive cars to choose from and I encourage you to do so. If you want to invest in a rare, original, unmolested Challenger which will most certainly appreciate in value if properly pampered, look no further. I've taken care of this car for the first five years. The rest is up to you. Don't miss your chance to be the second owner of this gorgeous and valuable collectible!

As an added bonus, I'm including a limited-production set of die-cast Challengers - a 1:24 scale 1970 HEMI Dodge Challenger R/T and a 1:18 scale 2009 HEMI Dodge Challenger, both in B5 Blue. These were a promotional item for Wix Filters back in 2009 and I couldn't resist buying them. Very few people own a B5 Blue Challenger. Fewer still own one with a matching collectible die cast scale model set. You can be one of them, but only if you submit the winning bid. ;-)

NOTE: Closer inspection reveals that there is a split in the window trim inside the driver's door, and the passenger window button on the driver's door is loose but functional. These are reflections of the build quality and not the result of overuse or abuse.

Mopar '15 performance kit now available for Dodge Charger R/T

Tue, Jun 9 2015

Dodge is releasing a new Mopar performance kit for the 2015 Charger R/T sedan, offering up just 50 examples of the dealer-installed upgrade package. Only a select few dealers will sell the kit, and they'll do so at a price of $3,550. As per usual, the Mopar kit makes both performance and aesthetic changes. For the 5.7-liter Hemi V8, upgrades include the Stage 1 Scat Pack kit, which adds a cat-back exhaust and cold-air intake, good for 18 additional horsepower and 18 more pound-feet of torque. There's also a new strut tower brace and a "premium fuel powertrain control module." Aesthetic changes are remarkably simple, with matte black body-side decals being the only notable addition to the exterior. In the cabin, there's a serialized dash plaque and new door sill plates. This is the sixth Mopar special edition since 2009. If you wish to join this fairly exclusive fraternity of Dodge owners, dealers are currently accepting orders, with deliveries slated to start later this month. Scroll down for the official press release from Dodge.

2015 Dodge Charger priced from $27,995, Hellcat from $63,995*

Sun, 19 Oct 2014

Ladies and gentlemen, let's get the most salient bit of information out of the way right off the bat: $63,995*. That's the amount of money Dodge dealers will be asking for (at the very least, naturally) for a 2015 Charger Hellcat (*plus $995 for destination on all pricing figures). That rather reasonable sum will bring home its buyer a 6.2-liter Hemi V8 engine boasting a supercharger to post such gaudy figures as 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, leading to a top speed of 204 miles per hour to go along with an NHRA-certified quarter-mile time of 11.0 seconds.
With that out of the way, the rest of the 2015 Dodge Charger pricing information breaks down as follows: $27,995 will deliver a sedan with a 292-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Moving up one step of the ladder nets the buyer an SXT model with the same engine, but a nicer chunk of technology and optional equipment for a $2,000 premium. All-wheel drive adds another $3,000. Hemi V8-powered R/T models now boast an eight-speed transmission bolted to the same well-loved 370-horsepower engine as before, for a base price of $32,995.
The SRT 392 model that had hitherto been the top-performing Charger brings with it an asking price of $47,385 while bargain hunters can equip a Charger R/T Scat Pack machine with that same 485-horsepower 6.4-liter Hemi, albeit with somewhat less posh interior bits and pieces, the removal of the 392's adjustable suspension and hi-po wheel and tire package for $39,995.

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
