Bullying Mustangs from late '08
Dodge has announced that the first three Challengers to roll off the production line will be up for grabs to the highest bidder. The cars will all be Mustang-bashing SRT-8 models painted in a particularly fetching shade of HEMI Orange with contrasting black stripes. The cars are powered by 6.1-litre versions of the HEMI V8 and all feature a numbered plaque on the dash.
The first car is set to go on sale in January, where all the proceeds will go to notMYkid – an organisation which promotes understanding of youth behavioural issues; the second will go under the hammer at a private dealer auction in September, with profits going to community issues charity United Way; and the final car will be sold on eBay in early 2008, just as soon as Dodge decides where the money raised will be heading to.
The Challenger will be unveiled in final production form at the Chicago motorshow next February, with all of the auctions due to be sewn up by the time the car goes on sale in the US late next year.
