2009 Dodge Challenger R/t Classic B-5 Blue on 2040-cars
Harlingen, Texas, United States
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 The standard features on this R/T Classic are:
In addition, this car was manufactured with the following options: B5 Blue Customer Preferred Package 27M ($3,460)
Interior Appearance Group by MOPAR $565 Premium Floor Mats with Logo by MOPAR Car Cover by MOPAR Bright door sill guards by MOPAR Electronic Convenience Group ($1,260)
6-Speed manual transmission ($995) Track Pak 3.73 Axle Ratio Anti-spin differential rear axle Bright accelerator, brake and clutch pedals Hill start assist AM/FM/CD/DVD/HDD/MP3 ($535)
Compact spare tire ($100) 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,
Chris

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats
Sat, 16 Aug 2014If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.
Dodge Dart getting hatchback variant... sort of
Thu, 25 Apr 2013In other parts of the world, Fiat builds and sells a version of the Dodge Dart called the Viaggio, and it appears that in addition to the current sedan bodystyle, a new hatchback version of the car is also in the works. Autocar says that the general manager for China's Guangzhou-Fiat joint venture, John Burton, has confirmed that a new Viaggio hatchback will be revealed by the end of this year before it goes on sale in early 2014.
The Viaggio will soon be joined by the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, which in China will be called the Liberty Light, at the Guangzhou-Fiat plant. While the idea of a Dodge Dart hatchback might be enough to enable most of us to forget about the Dodge Caliber, a North American variant doesn't appear to be in the cards. We reached out to Chrysler PR boss Rick Deneau, and he offered a succinct: "No plans at this time."
Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
