2009 Dodge Challenger Srt B5 Blue 6.1l Hemi Excellent Showroom Condition on 2040-cars
Palm Harbor, Florida, United States
|
Up for sale is my 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 in B5 Blue. I have owned this car from new and have pampered it as a show car since. For the first few years she was my daily driver until I moved her to my classic car collection. I got this car with every available option which includes the very rare B5 Blue Pearl Paint. This color was only offered in 2009 and rolled over into 2010 due to the Chrysler bankruptcy. Additionally many B5 Challengers were R/T Classics not SRT8's. Final production numbers (as I have found) are that they made 239 B5 Blue SRT's in 2009 and 83 of them were automatics with 156 being manual 6 speeds. These SRT's came with everything and the option list was basically: Sunroof, performance stereo with Kicker sub and navigation...I have all of them! In addition to the factory options I've added a few modifications for both cosmetic and performance purposes. You will notice the car sits lower as I installed a complete Eibach Sportline suspension with BF Goodrich 275/40 performance tires ALL THE WAY AROUND (yes these fit perfectly...even with the lowered suspension) which provide a fantastic performance ride and look killer. To make the car sound better I installed a Corsa performance cat-back stainless steel exhaust. Do your research, these two mods are some of the best on the market for this car (not the cheapest). To help her breath better, I installed a Mopar cold air intake and to keep her cool, I installed a 180 degree thermostat. I also installed the newer front chin spoiler from a 2011- present model as I thought it looked better. To tie it all together, I have a DiabloSport tuner installed with the 93 octane tune. She runs and drive beautifully! She has never been to the track nor have I raced her. I have however tested her performance, stop light to stop light and all I can say is its awesome. Based on the vehicle information system, my best 0 to 60 time is a 4.72 which I added a picture below. As for the interior, I added a set of polished stainless pedals, SRT push button start, SRT steering wheel emblem, polished stainless steel sill plate, and a carbon fiber pistol grip shifter handle. Other modification are a billet nose badge in satin black, 3M 1080 matte black wrap on the hood and custom "Challenger SRT" 1970 style T/A stripes, and a billet oil catch can. I have every receipt and piece of paperwork I got with the car and have left the leather seat tag in place since new. I have a collection of classic cars and my plan was to keep this gem of a retro-looking muscle car and pass it down to my children. That was until the new 2015 Challenger with a Supercharged Hellcat Hemi making 707 hp was released recently and I found it is being offered in B5 blue. I currently have a deposit on one of the first B5 Hellcats and well my wife says we don't need two B5 blue Challengers ( I kind of agree). So here is your chance to own a very rare and cool muscle car at a fraction of the price... I have well over $50k invested in this SRT and considering her excellent condition and warranty...its a STEAL! Oh YES, this Challenger comes with an extended warranty up to 100,000 miles and ends 10/23/2016. Since I an the original owner, I can transfer the warranty one time to the next owner. Although I have pampered this SRT, applied so many coats of synthetic wax that water beads right off her, applied so many coats of "leather soft" that the seats look as close to new as you'll find, and cleaned underneath the car (yes I am a perfectionist and own a car lift) BUT she is still a 2009 with 45,000 miles so you can see minor wear (or I can see it, many people cannot). Normal wear items like the arm rest and belly pan were replaced with OEM new parts when I moved her to my collection because I wanted her PERFECT. I am in no rush to sell her as production of B5 Hellcats doesn't begin until early November 2014. She is an awesome example of a rare optioned car and priced fairly IMO. If you don't think so, try to find another in this condition with the modifications. If you don't like the modifications, I have all the original parts with the exception of the suspension and exhaust. I offer no warranty other than transferring the policy I have with Mercury Insurance group to a private buyer (warranty can't be transferred to a dealer). You need to have the cash to buy it, I do not finance nor am I going to wait for you to figure out if you can afford it or your wife approves. I will provide you whatever information you need to make a smooth transaction and WELCOME an inspection by you or your mechanic! I have nothing to hide and will be sad to see her go. Also I do not offer shipping but will work with your shipper to get her loaded. Full payment must have cleared my bank before I let her go...NO EXCEPTIONS! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call me: Bob (727) 642-5811 NOTE: A few of the pictures show the older style front chin spoiler as I only recently added the newer model style which can be seen below:

2013 Dodge Charger AWD Sport
Tue, 29 Jan 2013We won't beat around the bush: The all-wheel-drive Dodge Charger is not a brand new car. This generation launched in 2011, AWD models and all. But for 2013, Chrysler has added an optional sport package to the AWD model, available with both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 or the sweet, sweet 5.7-liter Hemi V8. The upgrades for this new sport pack are mainly cosmetic; a gloss black grille, new 19-inch alloy wheels and body-colored rear spoiler make up the list of exterior changes. Inside, there are new sport seats and paddle shifters, and the eight-speed automatic transmission has been reflashed for better performance.
But because vehicles like the Dodge Charger mainly stick out in our minds as being rear-drive bruisers, Chrysler wanted to give us the opportunity to test out the LX platform's foul-weather prowess. And perhaps no place more appropriate to test such a system was way up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula in the dead of winter.
Driving Notes
2014 Dodge Durango
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Say what you want about the Dodge Durango, but ever since it came on the scene in 1998, it has occupied its own niche in the SUV market - not too small, not too big, tough, able, not always the best on the road and not always the best off-road. If it were a football player, it would be a tight-end that can block and catch. If it were a hamburger - a double burger with cheese and bacon, but not the Whopper.
As part of a mid-cycle upgrade for what was already a very capable SUV that Chrysler introduced in 2011, and built on the same platform as the Mercedes GL-Class and Jeep Grand Cherokee, the 2014 Durango has gotten some refinements worth noting that have cleaned up its tailoring and toned up its body and powerplant. The result is an SUV that shows itself to be a very good value in a category full of sticker prices that can run away faster than a kid who's been told he has to take ballroom dancing lessons.
Chrysler executives showing us the new Durango made a special point to reiterate that the Dodge brand is not going away, as has been rumored after the company took the Ram and Viper - the cream of the brand - out from under the Dodge umbrella. Turns out Dodge has been the brand attracting the most young people (who knew?) and has a younger average age buyer than Honda. The Dodge brand historically has also attracted buyers who aren't exactly Phi-Beta Cappa, which some companies worry about. Chrysler not so much. Dodge buyers tend to be more the working, high-school-educated, community-college-educated backbone of the work force in America. If they keep coming to Dodge, the Durango is a pretty good piece of hardware to save up for.
Dodge and Jeep recalling 895k SUVs for possibility of headliner fires
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Dodge and Jeep are announcing recalls of a total of 895,000 Durango and Grand Cherokee models worldwide from the 2011 through 2014 model years. There's a possibility that the wiring in the sun visor can short circuit and cause a fire. It specifically affects vehicles built between January 5, 2010, and December 11, 2013, and there are approximately 651,000 of them in the US, 45,700 in Canada, 23,000 in Mexico and 175,000 outside of North America.
Screws that fasten the sunvisor to the headliner may pierce wires in the visor, if the part has been removed or serviced, potentially causing a fire risk. If the wires short circuit, they could overheat and potentially combust. The automakers report three injuries caused by this defect, and according to the investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "there may be a total of 52 unique fire incidents."
To fix the problem, Dodge and Jeep will inspect the vehicles for suspect wiring, and all of the models, whether damaged or not, will get a new sun visor spacer with a wire guide to stop the possibility of short circuits. According to the automakers' announcement, "this condition is not present in vehicles which have not had the headliner or vanity mirror serviced." They will notify affected owners, and repairs will begin in August.
