Is this for real or even possible ??

**Link Removed**


sounds a little fishy that the engines been rebuilt and the paint has been redone on a 181 mile survivor.

Definately possible. Definately the real deal. A gorgeous car, does look better in person than those pictures. Absolutely stunning car. In my opinion it is one of  the nicest 500's around.

Exhaust system isn't original.   H-pipes didn't exist back then as far as I know.

THE CHARGER PUNK

thats bullshit when a car finally makes it to the dealership its suppose to go to to be sold it has around 100 odd miles give or take a few. the lowest mile hemi charger 500 already was found and it is a survivor(check the back issues of mopar action or muscle)
and that car was drag racedonly for one year and it had 400 miles. no car from a  dealership starts off with zero miles on the odometer.cuz it would take some 2 get there.(and its also a restored car why restore it if it only has 180 miles on it???someone just tuned the odometer back during the resto and since it can be proved then it proabably aint real(sorry 4 being so long winded) my 2 bits :D-MATT

I agree...  I used to work for Dodge, and 2-13mi was the average...

 :iagree:

They don't usually drive new cars to the dealerships from the factory. They are transported by truck...notice the destination charge on the window sticker. When I picked up my ordered truck in 2001 it had less than 1 mile on it due to loading and unloading. Even with test drives 20-30 miles is the most I have seen on new car unless they are dealer to dealer trades.

As far as you know?  I suggest a little more research....

Ok, next time I need to make a big purchase I'll ask you first and then do the opposite. You blew it on the "clone" Daytona race car too (uh, who's Cotton Owens?) so why bother posting about what you don't really know? You call everyone else's car a fake yet I bet you still don't know how much HP your dad's car puts out (even though you make some great claims). There must be a Stupid Post competition that no one told me about.

Wow. And it's not even a 4-speed.... Hmm, assumming a 5K initial cost, and 36 years in storage, and at a return of 12% this "new" car IS worth about $300,000. Pretty good deal overall.   :-\

How do they know it was the last one?  I thought they just kind of randomly pulled cars off the line, sent them to Creative for the 500 package and shipped them from there?  If they don't even know how many were built with absolute certainty and the broadcast sheets are all mixed up in them, how are they determining the build order?

Even if I was a millionaire, I probibly wouldnt want to spend that much on something which is basically a trailer queen.

Not if you want to buy it!  :icon_smile_big:

I stand corrected - H-pipes were put on the 440 & 426 Hemi.

Most of the pics of low mileage "survivor" I've seen, everything under the hood is all faded, dried out & surface rusted...not very appealing to the eye. I'm assuming this car was the same way before they got to it.

The only problem is that once they re-touch everything back up, the car no longer holds it's "survivor" status, IMO. It's only original once, after that, it's just well maintained.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)
