For Sale Is This Forum Going Metric? Charger...

[commando1]

I drive by this crappy little used car lot every day and I always grab a look at what overpriced crappy cars he has.

And this grabbed my eye so I stopped to see if it was a stick.

It wasn't. So I do a quick sweep of th area and something catches my eye.

I go to take a look. Yep. Another one of his crap boxes he gets cheap because no other dealer will touch it. A bottom feeder.

But, those wheels...

Hmmm. A quick walk around...

Ooooo. The door is unlocked. OK, we have our rubber floor mats...

Let's check out the speedo...

And pop the hood. Bingo.

Woah. Wait a minute....

Possible cop car that is an SRT8?

Those 05-06 SRT Chargers are selling today for $38k-$40k. Almost as much as a new Scat Pack.

Why do you think it could be an SRT8?

I'd say it's a police car. The certified speedometer is a dead giveaway.

Quickest way to spot a metric cop car is placement of the shifter. If it's on the column she's a copper....

Nothing sticking up out of the console so it must be a column shift unless the tranny is missing.

I know it's a cop car. That's a no-brainer.
But I'm wondering why Bob thinks it's an SRT8.
Two different animals.

It looks just like this 6.1 engine which is in a SRT car.

Can someone decode the VIN?
I'm pretty sure the cop Hemis were rated much lower than the SRT8 Hemis.

Graham can probably decode it.

I just know that anytime I need anything on my Scat Pack they always ask for the last 8 characters of my VIN.

This is an '06 SRT8.

Note the facia, scoop, wheels, and spoiler.

Not just the Charger....

He could tell you everything about that car

What caught my eye was the bottle of water sitting in the console. Really? Is it vintage now?

 

[70bigblockdodge]

It's a 5.7. Looks just like my wife's Jeep engine with the plastic cover removed.
Get it cheap, beat it throw it away.
No stick though, BOOOOOO!
