I got the full size pics in my mailbox Sunday. The original shots were taken by noted automotive spy shot master Brenda Priddy. They were taken last week and are shots of the Challenger Concept being prepped for publicity photos.

The concept will debut at the NAIAS in January, but you'll probably see more pictures around Dec. 15, unless these spy shots move things up.

You should now be able to see what was touched up to match the concept drawing.

Thanks for the pictures KISSAlien!!! Every few hours better versions of those pictures come out...

Okay Photoshop gurus, go to work enhancing them for us now.

You know, it’s pretty cool. With the 6.1 and a 6speed (and air conditioning) I just may buy one more new car in my lifetime.

here it is lightened up a little
see attachment for big version

the back shot has a lot less contrast

i like the challenger name on the quarter panel, didnt notice that until the pic got lightened up a tad.

Hey, Where's the gas fill.



Aussie Version?
Reverse Photograghy?
6.1 Solar?

You can actually see, if you look a little closer on the hood, that its got the t/a cut outs. Me likes.

Edit: oops, not t/a. power bulge just like in doug's drawings

Yep, I'm so goofy, I had to edit,
cause at first I said they were blocking it.
Then, I'm like wait a sec.

anyways I still love it

Styling wise, WOW. Lower the nose just a tad and PLEASE put the reverse light between the tail lights. Beyond that, WOW.

The blue thing in the rear 3/4 shot is an Arriflex light. Probably a 650W Fresnel. So the photo shoot thing makes sense.

For years I have been saying that I would never buy another new car off the lot. If this car makes it into production with the 6.1 hemi 6 speed pistol grip, my cuda hits ebay ASAP and I sell everything I can to make a killer down payment on the completely loaded SRT8 with any and all special package options.

Beyond that, the fact that it is built on the LX platform, and built after the successful release of the Lunch Box, er.. Charger, I would say it stands a much higher chance of being produced than the Charger concept. That being said, I will NEVER trust what Chrysler throws out there until I see it rolling down their assembly line. Period. Won't get my hopes up, won't mark my calender, won't give it two many more thoughts here on moparts.

All said, I would much rather bust my nuckles on a new classic than an old one. It would take way more $$$ to get the same amount of power and performance out of my cuda as this Challenger represents out of the box, even at $35K, and to have it all brand spanking new, well... There you go Chrysler. The ball is in your court and I am done talking.

OK Guys...a Heads up...I won't be around long enough to discuss this ..(leaving Albany tonight for NYC)..but!!

MMISSILE and I were given a personalised conducted tour of Auburn Hills three days ago..by Eric Andrew, Manager Dodge Advertising.

Not only did he line up an SRT 8 Charger for us to fool around in for 45 mins.. ..but he took us through part of Skunk works where they detail show cars etc...Saw the old Razor and some very tuff Vipers done out for racing.. ...

There was also a 72 Chally there...seems they have been using it for an "undisclosed" reason....

He also introduced uas to some of his staff...and I was asked about the 4 door Charger...I mentioned Australias history of 4 door Muscle cars, and then asked Eric if he knew whether there was going to be a 2 door Charger...here was the discussion:

EA: "Def not , however, we have some more exciting models on the drawing board and you may well see an exciting 2 door coupe released in late 06...using a familiar name, possibly even CHALLENGER." !!!

And then he WINKED at us!!!!

My guess is its almost a def.......

BTW...did you know DCX are selling "on track " for the Chargers????.......and as for SRT Charger we really gave it a hiding...I have pics but can't post them till I get back to Australia...but it sure bags them up!!!

I'm sure MMISSILE would have more to add.....

Mebbe it was 500??? HahahahLOL!!!!

...sure there was a 5 something mentioned...I was too busy stealing brochures....

It doesn't really matter what they build, cause most of your wives are gonna' make you buy minivans anyhow. You should be glad they have an azz kickin' 4 dr. Room for the brood and groceries.
