July 1 2006... a day that will live in the history books: Dodge announces that the Challenger will enter production late in the the 2008 model year. A personal site & blog created and run by a no-commercial-interest Challenger enthusiast!
If you saw The Tonight Show this past Monday, you may have noticed that Jay seemed a little... impatient. That's because earlier that day he took possession of his new Challenger SRT8. The second one built by Dodge!
He's shown below at the dealership. The orange car is his 1970 Challenger that he brought along for the purposes of comparison.
Jay's new Challenger was spotted later that day outside of The Tonight Show studio.
Undoubtedly, he took the long way to get there. There's nothing worse than picking up your new car and then having to go to work!
The first production Challenger was auctioned off for charity last January. Jay, being Jay, arranged to buy #2.
UPDATE!
Thanks to YouTube, we now have video of both #1 and #2 being delivered.
