Just back from checking out the build on #3 Challenger that will be submitted to NHRA for approval. The car will be at the PRI show next week for NHRA as well for public inspection. This car will be in the exact state and level of build that it will be delivered to customers. Challenger #3 is planned to be sold to the Large Father - Don Gartlits after the NHRA approval.

This car is being built w/ the 6.1L SRT8 motor and a 904 automatic. Note that all of the transmissions supplied in the car are empty cases only. The rear suspension is the stock Challenger cradle w/ the differential and halfshafts deleted. This is basically for build and shipping purposes as this will be replaced w/ a solid axle and 4 link trailing arm per NHRA specs for Stock Eliminator. Front suspension has the aftermarket discs already mounted - along w/ a manual brake master cylinder. Interior has all non essential components (and weight) removed. There are 2 racing bucket seats from the European Viper program - including the "Viper" logo stiched on them. No headers - all wiring is shipped loose. The car is in the perfect level of assembly to let each racer finish it his way - own cage - plumbing - etc. It does include a nice Moroso rear sump aluminum oil pan.

Included are some photos - note that the windshiled is tacked in place for easy removal when the cage goes in. This original windshield "warning" shipping sticker will be one of the key pieces to determine a "real" car.

And there are a number of bodies on hand that will start production once the approval is secured.

Stay tuned ...............
