ONLY 6026 MILES, LIKE NEW, CLEAN HISTORY, 1 OWNER TEXAS CAR, FUTURE COLLECTABLE!
When Chrysler rolled out the all-new Challenger, Mopar fans snapped them up faster than the factory could build them. Then, when the SRT-8 version was announced, complete with a 6-speed manual transmission, collectors went crazy, paying tens of thousands over sticker just for the privilege of owning one of the first ones. Today, with only 6026 miles on it, we'd argue that this 2010 SRT-8's status as a future collectable remains secure and the buy-in just got a lot more reasonable.
Of course, if you're going to own one of the first Challenger SRT-8s, it has to be Plum Crazy purple with the optional carbon-fiber-look stripes. As a virtually new car, there's really nothing notable here, although it's important to point out that this car has never seen anything but sunny, dry pavement in its brief life. When it did venture out of the garage, it was promptly wiped down and then tucked away again, and as a result it looks every bit as good as it did rolling off the transporter at the dealership. There are no signs of wear or road rash, even behind those massive rear tires which were surely fighting for traction at least once or twice (who could resist?), and the shine is every bit as good as you'd expect thanks to frequent wax sessions. The sucker's impressive, no question about it.
Inside? More of the same, with unblemished surfaces and just about every option Chrysler could throw at it. Power seats with SRT graphics grip you like Velcro during aggressive driving, yet are comfortable for cross-country jaunts. The six-speed, borrowed from the Viper, slips through the gears, and the pedals are placed for easy heel-and-toe maneuvers. The fat steering wheel feels great in your hands and gives you a complete view of the white-faced gauges. Navigation, A/C, power windows and locks, cruise control, and a powerful stereo are all included. The leather shows virtually zero wear, and it's likely that nobody's posterior has ever creased the back seat area. Heck, it even smells new in there! There's not a lot of trunk space given the size of the car, but that's not really the point now, is it? It is, however, in great shape without even so much as a stray hair on the factory mat.
The real reason folks waited in line for months to get a Challenger SRT-8 is under the hood. The stock Hemi is OK, but if you knew you could have this 425-horsepower brute, you probably would have waited, too. Just barely broken in, it starts instantly and idles perfectly thanks to the wonders of fuel injection, and the underhood area shows no signs of wear or use, and not even a seeping gasket gives away the illusion of factory freshness. These are insanely easy to modify, but there seem to be no upgrades save for the Mopar air intake that adds a throaty intake growl. The chassis is equally nice and confirms that this car has rarely seen rain, because it's spotless. Brakes, shocks, and all the other equipment is 100% OEM, and yes, those are the optional Brembo brakes living behind the massive 20-inch alloys. Even the original 245/45/20 Goodyears are still in place, which, at this rate, will probably last for decades.
If you wanted one, this might be your chance. Priced right and sure to be a fan favorite for decades, don't let this one get away. Call now!
