Picked up my 09 yesterday

[jrgoodman]

I went it to get a truck and saw this on the showroom floor:

I saw this on the spoiler::panic:

http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w180/jrgoodman/09%20Challenger/challey3.jpg

I then I saw the price, under 30K. :blam:

http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w180/jrgoodman/09%20Challenger/chally5.jpg

Then I realized it was a SE, with SRT leather seats, chrome fuel fill, spoiler, SRt hood graphics, front spoiler , nice wheels, and I made a deal.

she now seats next to my 72......... thought I would share my story even though it is only a SE, but I get my speed fill out of my 72 :doh:

Wow your Jokin right ? :doh: I mean nice actually gorgous car BUT a SE badged from the Dealership with SRT8 ? :blam: and Seats ? :roll:

Well no matter.... Enjoy your nice looking ride !

[JayR04]

Nice. I would've made them remove the badges if they haven't already.

[ZMagnum]

Looks cool. Congrats. I'm glad to see folks buying cars.

[jrgoodman]

yea I know badged from the dealer, but hey, it is another 1 of 1 I guess :tinfoilhat:

I was thinking , can imagine 30 years from now, someone is going to have to explain a SE with a SRT* badge on it.......:bahdumcha:

[moonstreaker]

The Magnum Retro 500 wheels look great on the Challenger.

[NorthVanMag]

Um take the badge off.

Harsh weird.

First white one I've seen that is nice but the badge needs to go asap.

And I am paying less than 30k for my SXT here in Canada (not for sale in US apparently)

[FloridaRT]

I like the white paint.................................

Bob

[imahemi]

very nice!!!! love the white on a challenger :)

[gn300]

Is that a yellow baracuda in the garage how about some details..

put the srt badge on the 72!

Does it say srt design on the window sticker?

[sergeo'shemi]

keep the srt badge and build a 426!!! lol

[Jweezy]

Dont worry about the SE man, when you get ready just drop a 500ci motor in it.

The way our cars dropped in value, that would have been the best way to do it. By a 16-17k SE charger, and put 15 gs into it, for a awesome freakin speed car.

Makes no sense to spend 45K, on a car, then take out all the parts to replace with better stuff. Start off with something low, and move up, and still be in the low.

Good eye - that is my sons 72 Barracuda

http://www.goodysgotacuda.com/images/Exterior_Pics/Side_Small.gif

he has done some great things to this cuda, he got it when he was 18, been offered a couple bucks for it, and passed. Pretty good for a young man. You can read all about it on his website - www.goodysgotacuda.com (http://www.goodysgotacuda.com)


put the srt badge on the 72!

Yea, it has 392 Hemi on the side........


Does it say srt design on the window sticker?

No it was dealer installed options

This is exactly what I plan on doing, nothing differant then they did in the 70's. So in about 2014 this will be a hot car........:beerchug:

[Mr.Mopar]

Looks great! An SE would suit me fine.

[6T9_CHARGER_RT]

Sweet jeebus look at that misaligned trunk!
Hows the Foose Chally doin? Loved that episode:beerchug:

[JayR04]

Sweet jeebus look at that misaligned trunk!

I've noticed that on a lot of Challengers. You can see it on the left side of my trunk in my signature. The fix was simple though.

[CDesmondO]

Those are three great looking cars. Can't understand for the life of me why the dealer would slap a SRT8 badge on a V6.

Look out though, I hear there is a swarm of mod bugs in your area.

What do I do???

She is holding up well.........its funny I did not even notice the trunk until I took the picture

[JayR04]

What do I do???
there are adjusters inside the trunk around where the trunk lid meets the weather stripping, near the bumper. kinda look like small knobs, black. just turn them and close the trunk till the trunk closes straight. i'll post pics in the morning if you haven't found them by then.

[ChargerChick]

Congrats and you have 2 beautiful cars! :)

[jatee]

that is good looking in white. :)

[Johnman]

Up-badging is wrong, it cheapens the SRT8 brand for those of us who have real ones.

[ZeGuru]

I'd bet the spoilers come with the SRT badge already attached. Maybe BT could hook you up with a more appropriate badge to replace it.

wow, sorry you feel that way - I do own a SRT, a 6.4, not the 6.1 :tinfoilhat: in my 1972 and it has no badging, so I call it equal.:beerchug:

[jrgoodman]

Thank you

I did not even look, thanks I will do it tomorrow....

[MOPAR31]

congrats!

[Moe's Performance]

That's a lot better than a truck!

[65535]

What kind of rims are they?

they remind me of old-school rallye rheels

[Crazy R/T]

Magnum 500 retro wheels. Those are dealer installed, they don't come with these wheels from factory.

[jrgoodman]

they are on the Mopar site and they come in 17, 18 and 19. I am hoping they will let me trade 2 18's for 2 19's to give it the proper stance.

[Crazy R/T]

they are on the Mopar site and they come in 17, 18 and 19. I am hoping they will let me trade 2 18's for 2 19's to give it the proper stance.

FYI they come only in one size, 18" X 7.5".

[jrgoodman]

FYI they come only in one size, 18" X 7.5".

You might be right, but they sayall 3 sizes on the site and then it says only the one size

[65535]

x2 I agree...:beerchug:

[LTrain01RT]

Did you get that from Central Florida Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge? If so, I remember seeing that car in the showroom when I bought my Grand Cherokee (in mid October). It was right next to the little table I was doing business with my salesman at. I loved the white on it, and the wheels are slick. Wasn't a fan of the SRT badge but oh well. Still a sweet ride!

[jrgoodman]

Yes that is where I got it. I went it to buy a truck. :panic:


I would agree with the badge, but then again I did not put it on :roll:

thanks

Same here!!! They were offering 15K off sticker on 08 Rams. When I went in there it was slim pickin's though on what they had left. I think they had two bone stock V6's, two thunder roads, and one big black custom one.

Ended up buying a Grand Cherokee, lol.

[hemiwagn]

I really like it in white and those wheels are spot on.
but the star is your 72 -- sleek and cool man.

[jrgoodman]
