Dodgy goes Carlos Fandango and gets involved with a Swinger!

NO! Not that kind of swinger ya degenerates!!
I have been lusting after a 'Last Call' Swinger Challenger for quite some time now. They're all 6.4, come in 3 flavours with either a 6M or A8, most come with automatic cruise control, Alpine stereo (some lucky souls get a Harmon Kardon), and memory (driver's) seat with a limited production run of 1,000
White
F8 Green
Sublime
for quite a while, I thought that there weren't any sublime with the 8-speed and since I don't like white, it seemed like there was only one choice... F8. It turns out I was wrong and sublime is available with the auto and soooo I'll be collecting the below at some point in the next week
More of a write-up when I get there

Congrats! Well done. Not a fan of the Swinger myself (mainly the wheels!). I love both of those greens, especially F8!
I hope you aren t getting from TCS! His prices are ridiculous!
bought my first from TCS - yes, he is expensive but his stock is actually very nice indeed (with the added attraction of being close to me and decent to deal with).I hope you aren t getting from TCS! His prices are ridiculous!
Funnily enough, the 'goldschool' wheels are actually one of the things I really like about this (and, obviously, the Shaker). I did actually spend more than I was anticipating/hoping, but by the time I did the sums (and sublime with the A8 is difficult), there was a difference of maybe 3.5k (if that). If you want truly insane pricing go to Europe for your Yanks
The fact that you could walk into a dealer in this decade and buy a proper V8 muscle car, in a lairy colour, with a shaker hood, brand new is one of the few things that makes me jealous of Americans!
That is epic- those wheels are possibly the best I've seen on a Challenger, they give me proper old school muscle car vibes with the deep dish and prominent rim. I do reckon these are going to continue to age very well and be looked back on just as fondly as the original 60s cars- I know the design has been updated a fair bit over the years but the basic shape is the same, and still looks as good as when the first concept came out ~20 years ago.
Are you going to live up to the name and keep the car keys in a bowl? (Someone had to make the joke
)

The wrap came off the shaker-scoop/snorkel(?) but decided to take a chunk of paint with it. I know this is a potential issue when a wrap comes off, doesn't make me any happier though.
C'est la vie
Ouch. That looks fiddly to smart repair unless it’s dismantled a bit.. maybe a rewrap in the OEM colour could work.t The wrap came off the shaker-scoop/snorkel(?) but decided to take a chunk of paint with it.

ks. Sorry to see that.... More than annoying.Is that a piece that can be removed to be repainted? I am not familiar enough with the car to know.
with regard to the scoop/snorkel, I've done some enquiry work, and it appears that the 'goldschool' colour is a match for Hyundai 9W Laguna Sand Metallic (Dodge being Dodge, apparently don't do a paint code and/or touch-up paint, for whatever reason).
Although the cause of my little issue is the removal of a wrap, I do like the idea of a 'goldschool' wrap (and in fact had been considering that as an option), especially as I need to find a company doing custom wraps in East Anglia/Kent for some other wrapping
Let's see how things pan out

Expensive?? He makes about £20-30k profit on each car he sells! Talked about extensively in the UK Challenger owners page. Far better and cheaper to import yourself. I can t believe people are still buying from there and getting ripped off so bad! I thought the word had got out to most people by now!

As long as you are happy that s all that matters.
