NO! Not that kind of swinger ya degenerates!!

I have been lusting after a 'Last Call' Swinger Challenger for quite some time now. They're all 6.4, come in 3 flavours with either a 6M or A8, most come with automatic cruise control, Alpine stereo (some lucky souls get a Harmon Kardon), and memory (driver's) seat with a limited production run of 1,000


White




F8 Green




Sublime





for quite a while, I thought that there weren't any sublime with the 8-speed and since I don't like white, it seemed like there was only one choice... F8. It turns out I was wrong and sublime is available with the auto and soooo I'll be collecting the below at some point in the next week thumbup





More of a write-up when I get there biggrin

Congrats! Well done. Not a fan of the Swinger myself (mainly the wheels!). I love both of those greens, especially F8!
I hope you aren’t getting from TCS! His prices are ridiculous!

bought my first from TCS - yes, he is expensive but his stock is actually very nice indeed (with the added attraction of being close to me and decent to deal with).

Funnily enough, the 'goldschool' wheels are actually one of the things I really like about this (and, obviously, the Shaker). I did actually spend more than I was anticipating/hoping, but by the time I did the sums (and sublime with the A8 is difficult), there was a difference of maybe 3.5k (if that). If you want truly insane pricing go to Europe for your Yanks eek

I think you made the right choice - Sublime looks so much better than the F8 Green.

The fact that you could walk into a dealer in this decade and buy a proper V8 muscle car, in a lairy colour, with a shaker hood, brand new is one of the few things that makes me jealous of Americans!

That is epic- those wheels are possibly the best I've seen on a Challenger, they give me proper old school muscle car vibes with the deep dish and prominent rim. I do reckon these are going to continue to age very well and be looked back on just as fondly as the original 60s cars- I know the design has been updated a fair bit over the years but the basic shape is the same, and still looks as good as when the first concept came out ~20 years ago.

Are you going to live up to the name and keep the car keys in a bowl? (Someone had to make the joke getmecoat)

Well st frown

The wrap came off the shaker-scoop/snorkel(?) but decided to take a chunk of paint with it. I know this is a potential issue when a wrap comes off, doesn't make me any happier though.
