Commemorative edition srt's?
Very impressive! Dodge finally did there home work for the Ram SRT10. I had a '99 Dakota RT nice but 60 yards short of the goal post, after extensive head work, intake porting, ram air, computer, exhaust etc. it was starting to live up to the RT name! The RT was for sale the moment I saw my first SRT a black '04 - I knew it was a matter of time. Of course new toys have no deals so I waited.
Then I saw a Picture of the 007 Yellow Fever on Dodges web site while at a Dodge dealership, within seconds my Visa was out for a deposit. Two days later the dealer called me at work 11 Yellow Fevers in Canada! I was so happy - then the Bomb - 10 are quad cabs, and the 1 regular cab had a deal on it in Toronto! So I never got a Yellow Fever, 4 door is just not my thing, (and that 4 door Charger Imagine if Ford built the new Mustang as 4 door only! How about a 4 door Viper??? Anyway that's just my thought on that.)
That was in January '05, a short time later the Ram Daytona was released and I stopped by a different Dodge dealer to check them out neat but like the Rumble Bee it was like the Dakota RT all over again - looks good but still short of the goal post in performance, the salesman I was talking with was 1 of the coolest old cats I had ever met, what a card!! Had a story and an interesting point of view about most things, I kept his card - good thing. I had called and talked to him a few times about new stuff coming out, and there inventory on SRT10's, not much new and no deals on any Daytonas either.
June 13 2006 I called and talked to the salesman and after accusing each other of making too much money and joking around etc, he said "you know what? - we got a white SRT10 coming" "they don't come in white!!" was the only thing I could say, "I know but this one is white??!!" a slight pause and I asked " what's up with that?" with a hint of carelessness he replied "I don't know I'm not buying it" "do you want it?" I wish I had this call recorded it was like two friends poking each other in the ribs rather than a sales pitch. So I told him my cell number again and told him to call me back with more details. Ten minutes later my phone rings "heres the deal it's a Commemorative Edition SRT10 it's white and its 6 grand more than a regular SRT" - "DO YOU WANT IT?" "sure I'll take it".
On June 15 a newspaper article and picture was released on the 3 Commemorative Edition SRT vehicles the Viper, Ram, and SRT4. Afterward the waiting was insane!!
August 4 the call came "its here! Its #009/200" I have not driven my SRT very much, after having it for over a year it only has 2300 miles on it, the truck is stored most of the time. I have kept everything pertaining to the truck even the plastic off of the seats is tucked away, a detailed mileage log is kept along with show and shine information that the truck is enter into. It is so priceless driving the truck turning heads at dealerships. Grabbing gears is so cool, mine has never been to the floor nor has it been past 5000 rpm. Gotta run but I was wondering if anyone knows any information on the regular cab Yellow Fever that ended up in Toronto? And If there is any lower numbered Commemorative edition SRT10's?
