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. The standard features on this R/T Classic are:
In addition, this car was manufactured with the following options: B5 Blue Pearl Coat Exterior Paint ($225) Customer Preferred Package 24M ($3,460)
Electronic Convenience Group ($1,445)
Power Sunroof ($950) AM/FM/CD/DVD/HDD/MP3 with Navigation Radio ($1,390)
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. |

Experience the New York Auto Show by drone
Fri, Apr 10 2015The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat en route to dealers
Sat, 15 Nov 2014Get ready, world: The 707-horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has officially been unleashed. But rather than just have the big coupes quietly arrive at dealers, Dodge has released this video, showing Hellcats loading up onto car carriers at Fiat-Chrysler's Brampton, Ontario plant. And yes, that is Mötley Crüe's "Kickstart My Heart" playing in the background. Of course.
This really is worth all the fanfare, though, considering Dodge will sell its ridiculously powerful, supercharged machine for just $59,995. And if the Challenger isn't quite up your alley, just remember, there's an equally powerful, 204-mph, four-door Charger Hellcat on the way...
