Original Owner 2009 Dodge Challenger One Of A Kind! Kenne Bell Supercharged on 2040-cars
Champlin, Minnesota, United States
You are looking at a one of a kind, 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT-8, owned by a serious collector who is downsizing the fleet as part of my "retirement plan". I bought the car brand new from Blaine Dodge, and ordered it with NO dealer prep. Why? I wanted to get the car in the original factory condition, including all of the protective stickers, seat and floor covers, etc. The plan was to order a car that will be worth big money in 20 years, because at that time it will be the only Dodge Challenger that includes ALL factory pieces and parts. You can still see the suction cup marks on the windshield from the factory assembly process, because the windshield was not cleaned by the dealership. This car hasn't been licensed for the street since 2010, so it will need to be registered. I took possession of the car as they unloaded it from the delivery car carrier. I drove the car home, carefully removed the seat/floor protection, but left the protective covers, stickers, and badges elsewhere in the interior. You can see some of these in the pics. I carefully removed and saved the window sticker and other documentation that was affixed to the car. I labelled where these items were located as well. While the 425 hp SRT-8 engine has plenty of power from the factory, I wanted more. I ordered a Kenne Bell Supercharger Kit for the 6.1 liter engine, and a few weeks later I completed the installation and testing. I'm very meticulous and worked slowly to ensure a perfect installation. The car has never been raced, nor have I dynoed the engine. I can tell you that the car is VERY fast, even with the stock exhaust (the supercharger was designed for the stock Dodge Challenger exhaust, and according to KenneBell, it's a very low restriction exhaust so they recommend using the factory system). The supercharger is a liquid cooled Mammoth 2.8LC. KenneBell's testing on the dyno resulted with a 173 horsepower gain at the rear wheel. This converts to over 200 horsepower gain at the engine! (visit the Kenne Bell website to see the test results on the Dodge Challenger SRT-8 6.1 liter, with the 2.8LC Supercharger kit. Assuming their numbers are close to accurate, this would be in the range of 600-625 horsepower at the engine, and believe me- it feels like it! After installing the supercharger and carefully rechecking all connections, I tool the car out for a test. The factory rear tires would lose traction, even at 20 miles per hour! Kenne Bell achieves full boost at only 2000 rpm, so you are at peak boost as you leave the stop sign. Because traction was so terrible with all that new power, I then ordered some sticky, DOT approved street tires for the rear. I also ordered a 2nd set of wheels that match the factory wheels. So the car comes with 2 sets of rear wheels and tires, both mounted and balanced. Both the factory tires/wheels and the sticky Nitto tires/wheels are included in this auction. The pics of the car are with the Nitto sticky tires on it. While the tires were a very expensive investment, they work very well,and look like the factory tires. If you are a street cruiser (or like me, a street punk) and you want a car that looks and sounds stock, but will launch with unbelievable power and traction....this mopar is the ticket! I've driven the car to a few local shows but have never used it for transportation, hence the very low miles. There are extras that are included in this auction:
1. a smaller pulley for the Kenne Belle supercharger, and installation tool. I've never installed this pulley which increases the boost to a point where you need to run racing fuel in the car.. After driving the car you will probably make the same decision I did, "why would I ever want MORE power?" 2. the factory rear wheels and tires with very few miles on them. I would estimate less than 100 miles were on them when I replaced them with the DOT approved Nitto tires. 3. All the factory-applied protective "stuff", that the dealerships remove and toss. I have it all, and most is still on the car. 4. Kenne Bell instruction and owners manual, and email exchanges with KenneBell during the ordering process 5. ALL of the original factory parts that can be easily reinstalled if you want to return the car to original condition. I carefully labeled the parts and bolts so you will know where everything goes. 6. The Kenne Bell ECM programmer. The car's computer was tuned for the supercharger, using the KenneBell provided hand-held tuner. This device stores the factory tune, so if you want to restore the car to factory specs you merely plug in the tuner and restore. It also saves the high-performance tune, so you can go back to it in the future (if you change your mind AGAIN). ha ha 7. Factory Owners manual 8. 2nd keyless entry FOB 9. Window sticker and dealer order forms/receipts/booklets 10. Husky interior floor liners (front and rear) 11. Splash guards (clip on style- no holes drilled) I can hold and and store the car for up to 3 months, however I require $5000 down payment, and we will write a formal Purchase Agreement. |

Chrysler recalling 700k minivans and Dodge Journey for ignition switch woes
Tue, 01 Jul 2014General Motors isn't the only automaker with ignition switch problems. Chrysler is fighting it too and is now announcing a recall of 695,957 examples worldwide of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2008-2010 model years, plus the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey.
According to a statement from Chrysler, the models have a bad wireless ignition node detent ring in the ignition switch, making it possible for drivers to appear to have the key in the "Run" position but for the spring not to fully engage. It can then slip back to the "Accessory" position and shut the car off. If this happens, the vehicle loses power steering, brake boost and the airbags.
There is some disparity about the number of vehicles affected under this recall. In its statement, Chrysler claims that it covers 525,206 vehicles in the US, 102,892 in Canada, 25,591 in Mexico and 42,268 elsewhere. However, the recall announcement posted by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists an estimated 438,109 vehicles in the US. Chrysler spokesperson Nick Cappa told Autoblog via email that the reasoning for the different figures "will become clear at a later date."

Weekly Recap: New bosses try to jump-start Cadillac and Lincoln
Sat, 26 Jul 2014
Both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
It's ironic that Cadillac and Lincoln got new bosses within days of each other this month. It's also a commentary on the fact both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
