Here's the thing....in my lifetime, if I'm ever going to own an electric vehicle....you can bet balls to donuts it will only be something cool built by Mopar...otherwise I'm walking  :whiteflag:

So one of the special model Challengers will be a Hellcat convertible in partnership with Drop Top Customs for $26K extra.    :thinking:   

Wish they had done this sooner and full factory but I guess everyone still views the old sun roof cars as effectively being factory.  Same with the old convertible Dakota pickups.

In 1970 you could buy a hemi Cuda for $3,000 +/- and now its worth $1mil +/-. Buy one of these, put it away and your grandkids will get $10mil !!  :D

So glad i have a 74 Chally with built 360la/408 engine.   Will keep it till i die !!!   Especially since 2023 will be the end of the Challenger...yes its sad...but...

if i could only add to my stable the 2024 electric Charger...wow is that a good looking vehicle or what?   I would look forward to instant acceleration from it...   

Anyone want to give me the $60 K the RT banshee model will require ?
