    Hey, I am from Wisconsin. My Challenger? 2010 Plum Crazy Purple R/T Classic 6-speed. I got every option listed (except block heater). I wanted the classic because.....it's a classic. Not concerned with gobs of power as I don't race, I enjoy. I do enjoy the occasional "spirited" drive. My only "must haves" were Plum Crazy and 6-speed, the rest I didn't concern myself with. I bought it in May of 2011. At that time there were only 3 new PCP's with 6-speeds left in the US. This is my second Challenger. My first was a 1972 survivor. It was PCP, white interior, A/C, 318, auto, numbers matching, 74000 original miles. I got an offer for double what I paid for it. It is now in Sweden.

    I am from Wisconsin, the car got shipped to Sweden. About a year and a half ago, I received an email from someone over there asking for history. I guess it was on a car lot.

    Thanks for the welcome. I look forward to sharing in a new site

    So a dealership bought it from you and not a individual? How did they get ahold of you? Were you selling it at the time?

    I had it on ebay at the time. It was late fall, I had too many cars to store and not enough space. I had two for sale, but set the prices at what I would be willing to sell at. It was one of those "If someone buys it at this price, I guess I would sell" type things. They offered me more. I wasn't trying real hard to sell.
