Civilian Espionage! 2009 Challenger caught with cameraphone



Hot on the heels of Brenda Priddy & Co's new shot of the Challenger comes this great profile shot of a different mule taken by member "98Formula" at the LS1GTO.com forums. What's so encouraging here is just how faithful the overall shape of the car is to the concept. The retro profile is completely intact, and those sizeable wheels and tires look just right. According to the photographer, this car was snagged on 1-75 in Auburn Hills, MI. He said it sounded good, as its driver would give it throttle every so often, goosing the HEMI underhood. The cladding obscures everything aft of the doorline, so whether or not the production car keeps the show car's pillarless look remains a mystery. We sure hope it does, but the preproduction shells that made the web rounds back in April suggest that could possibly not be that case. That all said, this thing's looking pretty good so far. Expect plenty more sightings, as we now know there are at least two running around in the wild.

Great tip, Jim!

If I buy it is a daily driver it will be a light color.

If I buy as a toy it will be black.Will put some stripes on it, charcoal or silver, tint and the rims heading to the powder coater to go black.

Chrysler, I want the 6.4 in it!!

Hood/front needs to be just a tad bit longer and less rounded; but too lat for that.
Hope I can convince my wife to let 'us' buy one to go with my '70 cuda...

Looks like a good car, wonderwhat they did with the C-Pillars. Those big pimpfenders are just begging for 22's and a slam.

I wish I could afford one.. I would probably have to sell my Ram, but it would be well worth it! I'm gonna wreck when I see one on the street!!
