 You are looking at a one of a kind, 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT-8, owned by a serious collector who is downsizing the fleet as part of my "retirement plan".  I bought the car brand new from Blaine Dodge, and ordered it with NO dealer prep. Why?  I wanted to get the car in the original factory condition, including all of the protective stickers, seat and floor covers, etc.  The plan was to order a car that will be worth big money in 20 years, because at that time it will be the only Dodge Challenger that includes ALL factory pieces and parts. You can still see the suction cup marks on the windshield from the factory assembly process, because the windshield was not cleaned by the dealership. This car hasn't been licensed for the street since 2010, so it will need to be registered. I took possession of the car as they unloaded it from the delivery car carrier.  I drove the car home, carefully removed the seat/floor protection, but left the protective covers, stickers, and badges elsewhere in the interior.  You can see some of these in the pics. I carefully removed and saved the window sticker and other documentation that was affixed to the car. I labelled where these items were located as well.  While the 425 hp SRT-8 engine has plenty of power from the factory, I wanted more.  I ordered a Kenne Bell Supercharger Kit for the 6.1 liter engine, and a few weeks later I completed the installation and testing. I'm very meticulous and worked slowly to ensure a perfect installation.  The car has never been raced, nor have I dynoed the engine.  I can tell you that the car is VERY fast, even with the stock exhaust (the supercharger was designed for the stock Dodge Challenger exhaust, and according to KenneBell, it's a very low restriction exhaust so they recommend using the factory system). The supercharger is a liquid cooled Mammoth 2.8LC.  KenneBell's testing on the dyno resulted with a 173 horsepower gain at the rear wheel.  This converts to over 200 horsepower gain at the engine!  (visit the Kenne Bell website to see the test results on the Dodge Challenger SRT-8 6.1 liter, with the 2.8LC Supercharger kit.  Assuming their numbers are close to accurate, this would be in the range of 600-625 horsepower at the engine, and believe me- it feels like it!  After installing the supercharger and carefully rechecking all connections, I tool the car out for a test.   The factory rear tires would lose traction, even at 20 miles per hour!  Kenne Bell achieves full boost at only 2000 rpm, so you are at peak boost as you leave the stop sign.  Because traction was so terrible with all that new power, I then ordered some sticky, DOT approved street tires for the rear.  I also ordered a 2nd set of wheels that match the factory wheels. So the car comes with 2 sets of rear wheels and tires, both mounted and balanced.  Both the factory tires/wheels and the sticky Nitto tires/wheels are included in this auction.  The pics of the car are with the Nitto sticky tires on it. While the tires were a very expensive investment, they work very well,and look like the factory tires. If you are a street cruiser (or like me, a street punk) and you want a car that looks and sounds stock, but will launch with unbelievable power and traction....this mopar is the ticket!  I've driven the car to a few local shows but have never used it for transportation, hence the very low miles.  There are extras that are included in this auction: 
1. a smaller pulley for the Kenne Belle supercharger, and installation tool.  I've never installed this pulley which increases the boost to a point where you need to run racing fuel in the car.. After driving the car you will probably make the same decision I did, "why would I ever want MORE power?" 
2. the factory rear wheels and tires with very few miles on them.  I would estimate less than 100 miles were on them when I replaced them with the DOT approved Nitto tires. 
3. All the factory-applied protective "stuff", that the dealerships remove and toss.  I have it all, and most is still on the car.
4. Kenne Bell instruction and owners manual, and email exchanges with KenneBell during the ordering process
5. ALL of the original factory parts that can be easily reinstalled if you want to return the car to original condition.  I carefully labeled the parts and bolts so you will know where everything goes.
6. The Kenne Bell ECM programmer.  The car's computer was tuned for the supercharger, using the KenneBell provided hand-held tuner.  This device stores the factory tune, so if you want to restore the car to factory specs you merely plug in the tuner and restore.  It also saves the high-performance tune, so you can go back to it in the future (if you change your mind AGAIN).  ha ha
7. Factory Owners manual
8. 2nd keyless entry FOB
9. Window sticker and dealer order forms/receipts/booklets
10. Husky interior floor liners (front and rear)
11. Splash guards (clip on style- no holes drilled)

I can hold and and store the car for up to 3 months, however I require $5000 down payment, and we will write a formal Purchase Agreement.

Fiat Chrysler expands Takata airbag recall to 3.3M vehicles

Fri, Dec 19 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is expanding its recall of vehicles equipped with Takata airbags, moving beyond Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands to the greater US, as well as Mexico, Canada and beyond. The affected vehicles, some 3.3 million in total, were built between 2004 and 2007, with many models, including the Dodge Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500, Durango and the Chrysler 300, having been affected by Chrysler's previous recall. Despite the somewhat alarming nature that comes with a recall of this many vehicles, it seems that Chrysler is moving more out of an abundance of caution (and federal pressure) than anything else, saying: "Neither FCA US, nor Takata Corporation, the supplier, has identified a defect in this population of inflators. These components also are distinct from Takata inflators cited in fatalities involving other auto makers. More than 1,000 laboratory tests have been performed on these components. All deployed as intended, but FCA US continues to study the suspect inflators, which are not used in the Company's current production vehicles." Owners of affected vehicles will be notified and asked to report to dealers for a free replacement driver's side airbag. Scroll down for the official press release from FCA. Statement: Global Air-Bag Inflator Replacement December 19, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC will replace driver's-side air-bag inflators in an estimated 3.3 million older-model vehicles worldwide, in an expansion of an ongoing regional field action. Neither FCA US, nor Takata Corporation, the supplier, has identified a defect in this population of inflators. These components also are distinct from Takata inflators cited in fatalities involving other auto makers. More than 1,000 laboratory tests have been performed on these components. All deployed as intended, but FCA US continues to study the suspect inflators, which are not used in the Company's current production vehicles. Outside of Florida, one of the areas covered by the original action, no FCA US vehicle has been linked to an air-bag deployment of the type that has raised public concern. Nevertheless, the Company is replacing the Takata components tied to that concern. FCA US is aware of one related injury involving one of its vehicles, an older-model sedan. It occurred in a southern Florida region marked by persistent, high, absolute humidity – a condition believed to be a contributing factor in the air-bag deployments under investigation.

NHTSA investigates FCA for SUVs that roll out of Park

Tue, Aug 25 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into the 2014 Dodge Durango and 2014-205 Jeep Grand Cherokee after 14 complaints of the SUVs rolling out of Park. An estimated 408,000 of them could be affected, if a recall is necessary. All of the current complaints submitted to NHTSA about the issue concern the Grand Cherokee, and the claims allege that the SUV can roll out of Park whether or not the engine is running. Some folks report that they check the indicator each time because the gear sometimes fails to engage. Among the 14 cases, there are five accounts of crashes and three injuries, including a situation with someone allegedly being rolled over. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations are meant to investigate "the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequence" of a reported problem. They don't necessarily lead to a recall. Related Video: INVESTIGATION Subject : Unattended vehicle rollaway Date Investigation Opened: AUG 20, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15030 Component(s): POWER TRAIN All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) DODGE DURANGO 2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2014-2015 Details Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 14 complaints (VOQs) alleging that after being placed in Park the subject vehicles have then rolled away from their parked position. The unintended motion has occurred with both the engine off and the engine running. ODI has also identified EWR field report data related to the alleged defect. The model year 2014 and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles are equipped with an electronic gear selector (shift-by-wire system). The gear selection is made by pressing the shifter-paddle forward or backwards; the shifter does not move along a gate path as with conventional gear selectors. A Preliminary Evaluation has been opened to asses the scope, frequency, and safety-related consequence of the alleged defect. The VOQs associated with the opening of this investigation are: 10733158, 10730952, 10683556, 10679497, 10583366, 10725429, 10715401, 10711893, 10676998, 10668651, 10662619, 10662308, 10605865, and 10567538.
