First Production 2008 Challenger Sold
The first production version of the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 has been built and already shipped to a dealership in AZ. Only this first car is not for sale because it has already been sold. Craig Jackson – CEO of Barrett-Jackson – won the new car in an auction for $400,000. Now all he needs to do is pick it up.
Dodge Challenger SRT8 numero uno is completely loaded, black with a gray stripe down the center, and the plastic condoms have yet to be removed from the steering wheel and driver’s seat.
Jackson wasn’t the only high-profile celebrity to snap up an early Challenger SRT8, either. As you read on Autoblog earlier, Jay Leno received Challenger #0002 this week, and the comedian/car nut has already parked his new toy at The Tonight Show headquarters in Burbank, CA.
