Vehicle Description
2009 Dodge Challenger R/T
When it comes to pony cars, as was the Challenger's first outing,
it wasn't early on the scene. In fact, it was one of the last pony
cars of the Detroit Three to roll onto the scene and yet its
lateness didn't make it any less awesome. The 426 HEMI engine,
dubbed "the Elephant Motor," powered the Challenger, as did the
smaller 2.2-liter Slant Six. The powertrain simply blew people away
and made the Challenger not only rise but beat most challenges.
Though this version lasted just five years from 1970-74, it remains
one of the most powerful debuts in the automotive world.
For consignment a very nice 2009 Challenger RT in a throwback shade
of TorRed. A one owner car that has always been dealer serviced
with the records available and just out of a 3-year storage with a
fresh PA inspection sticker. Even with 144,806 miles this tire
fryer has lots of life left and is now a standout in our Hallowed
Halls of Classic Auto Mall.
Exterior
Cared for through the years but still used as a reliable driver the
paint on this R/T is wonderfully shiny, with a few chips, dings,
waviness to the front neoprene bumper and rust bubbling starting in
front of each of the rear tires, otherwise we see smooth metal all
minding their gaps. Bathed in TorRed with a black front wing
hanging underneath the menacing black grille with just a hint of
chrome, and a dual cowled hood covered with a matte black finish
stripe has been added on the center of the hood and dual RT stripes
race across the hood and down the fenders. With a body matching
integrated front bumper, this car retains a beautiful aerodynamic
form. Matching sport mirrors on either side, and a small TorRed
spoiler on the trunk lid and we are ready to make some smoke. Big
20-inch wheels and medium low-profile rubber are on all 4 corners.
A red serpent in the garden of eden we call the drag strip.
Interior
Smooth charcoal leather for the bolsters with tuck and roll gray
leather inserts covers the front buckets and rear bench. These
seats are in good condition, with no stains, drips or errors, but
do have patina and tearing on the drivers left bolster.
Ergonomically placed dash instruments, controls and steering wheel
allow anyone of any size to get comfortable. All interior is shades
of gray and black, and just a stunning combination to go with the
exterior TorRed. Comfort abounds in biblical proportions. 4 round
white faced gauges face the driver and in the center of the dash is
the factory installed AM/FM/CD Sirius capable stereo and heater/A/C
knobs. A black console races back from under the dash and holds the
automatic shifter with manual shift mode as well as cup holders and
an armrest/storage bin.
Drivetrain
Lifting the retro throwback designed hood we are met with a TorRed
painted engine bay holding within a 5.7 Liter Hemi V8. This small
elephant is capable of making 370hp. Power is sent to the rear axle
by a 5-speed automatic W5A580 transmission. Speaking of the rear
axle, it is of the independent variety and weighs in with a 3.06
ratio. This rear axle was replaced under warranty approximately 3
years ago due to a slight noise. Despite the mileage, the engine
bay remains very clean with glossy paint and little to no
patina.
Undercarriage
Looking the part to match the miles, this undercarriage remains
clean with only minor surface rust and patina. No rust, just
straight structurally strong steel, power disc brakes all around,
and independent coil spring front suspension and independent 5 link
on the rear are noted.
Drive-Ability
This car lights right up upon turning the key and will go at any
speed you want it to. It runs very smoothly, and even has an
economy mode when cruising along to save on fuel. Handles great and
is overall a comfortable ride. Love the seats...wicked
comfortable!
With plenty of power, nice paint, 1 owner, and well kept, this is a
recent classic you will not go wrong with. A speed demon that will
give your friends a devil of a time trying to beat you on the arm
drop. In fact, give them a head start just so they seem to have a
chance!
