Challenger Classic Question

[cromagnumman425]

Does anyone know anything about that Classic Challenger option coming out in the spring? Price and availability would be nice to know.

[bigsnake]

Mostly just small tidbits coming out on the Spring Special. Last that I saw was Dec-Jan ordering time frame with delivery in the summer and cost around $40K. Mostly just speculation right now. Even the dealers don't know specific's yet.

[cromagnumman425]

Thanks for the information. That is a bit more than I will spend. To bad, it sounds like a real nice car.

pro 35 for the rt with no options and just the classic package

[cromagnumman425]

I do have a Camaro on order but am becoming torn as I think the photo of the classic R/T is very nice. From what I see it is jut a stripe, functional hood, and rims. Is there anything else in that package?

[bigsnake]

This what Motor trend had to say:

Motor Trend, here's what we can expect to get in the Classic:

"From what we understand of the brochure, included in the package is the B5 livery, 20-inch chrome wheels, scripted Challenger side badges, wide side stripes and performance vented hood. Inside the cabin, blue trimming covers the dash with more pronounced sport seats keeping the driver and front passenger secure."

What will all this cost? The 20" chrome wheels available on the R/T are a $1350 option. The Classic package, with even better chrome wheels among the other things, will be in the $2000 price range. With many existing R/Ts on the lot window stickered at $38K or more, the Classic could top $40K MSRP.

motortrend pisses me off

it wont be 2000 for rims becuase if you look at dodges accesories pdf file it clearly is 200-300 cheaper(too lazy to go check but def not 2000) it was 1800 i believe.

it will probably be 40k dealer markup but msrp 35-37......40 fully loaded

Got an e mail from a Chrysler rep this morning with updated info on the Classic Challengers. Looks like more than B5 blue color choices too!


The R/T Classic can be ordered in December with January production. The B5 Blue R/T Classic might be available to order the last week of December, but most likely first week of January. I'll check on that when I get back to the office this week.

B5 Blue R/T Classic is a February production vehicle.



This below is from the Challenger Engineers chat and fits right in with the(above) info I got.

Classic Package will include a 20" Rallye style polished wheel, the dual wide side stripe from past R/T models, active hood scoop and Challenger script badge.

We will build in Hemi Orange, B5 Blue, TorRed, Black, Silver, White.

Good info thanks.

Wonder if theyll be doing the srt spring special in white, that would make a bunch of people happy.

[cromagnumman425]

If the Classic is available for Dec. ordering I wonder why it is not available on the Dodge web site?

[kevin2323]

they delayed ordering

[DodgeHemi61]

From what I am reading, Orders well start being taken for The Classic sometime within the next four weeks with a sticker around $1400 above the RT. :beerchug:

[kevin2323]

1400 over the RT-J package which is 32500

[cromagnumman425]

Where do you guys get your information? I never run across that stuff and my dealer knows nothing.

[kevin2323]

Bob Federick....he is the man to order your challenger from...he is in ohio...over on the other challenger forum many many people have ordered and have orders with him. He is always on top of your order and gets challengers the fastest.:pepper:

Where do you guys get your information? I never run across that stuff and my dealer knows nothing.

Have contacts at Chrysler Corp. HQ.:mrgreen:

[bigsnake]

Speaking of the above, I sent an e mail to my contact today asking when the Spring Special(R/T Classic) can be ordered and was told tomorrow the 15th. Check with your dealer.

[cromagnumman425]

Thanks for keeping us updated. I will check with local dealer.

[cromagnumman425]

Has anyone heard of any dealers giving discounts on Challengers to move them?

[Challenger370]

Should be soon, maby next month.

[sowhat073]

well i talkk to a dealership earlier this week and its base price is 34900 but it comes with those sharp ass rims so if u add that to a plain r/t with rims and leather its almost the same; they said i should be able to knock a few thousand off the sticker price but not as good as the employee pricing which i screw around and miss but it could be for the better because i like the classic better :):rock:

[Bap_Worker]

Classic Editions started to come off the line this week. Only a handful, should see more next week. Then we are laid off for a week.

[X's Revenge]

is there any pics of the classic, I don't see it as an option here for us Canucks.... so it may only be US bound?? I googled for pics, really, looks like Richard Petty blue, with mopar classic rims, pinstrips and the go wing? that's it.

[cromagnumman425]

Are they making only a limited amout?

[Challenger370]

Has anyone heard of any dealers giving discounts on Challengers to move them?

The employee pricing is gone for the challanger, so doubt it. My local dealership said he can get close to invoice, but that is his best offer
Are they making only a limited amout?
Yes, they are only making a limited number, plus they are available to order now, and the standard R/T is on restriction until next month, so it looks like the clasic is being built now.
