So, the other manual transmission thread got closed and that's fine. It was going the wrong direction. Anyways, I was under the impression that there weren't any 2021 Challenger Hellcats built with the 6-speed manual. However, I have found one! I was very skeptical and verified multiple times, but here it is:

Used 2021 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody For Sale | Lincoln IL (lincolnchryslerdodgejeep.com)

I verified the VIN and build sheet. Price is too high for me to consider, but this may end up being one of, if not the last manual Hellcats built. I hope not, but at least we now know that some were built!

Looks legit to me based on two things;

1.SRT on the calipers
2.Memory seat buttons on driver door card

Interesting

Wow! I didn't think any existed...

Exactly!! I must have emailed the salesman 5 times to verify the year and transmission! Now, where are the rest of 'em hiding!!

Get the VIN and look up the window sticker.

The VIN explains it, the 159th VIN assigned so this was a year ago before they decided to quit building them. This is VERY early 2021.

That's a beautiful car!

Alright all you die-hards, step up or shut up.

Yeah, I was thinking that it was early, but the 5 in the 12th position threw me off. I wasn't sure if this was the 159th VIN or 500,159th!

But, now that I read my own statement, half-a-million Challengers seems a bit high!

$86K for 8,000+ miles is a bit high. Yes, rare car, but I'm not buying a garage queen or collector piece!!! I'm driving mine!!

Some serious strings and backlot dealing had to have been pulled in order to get this built like a COPO Camaro back in the day.

The average dealer couldn't even order these with all the emissions certifications mumbo jumbo

If the car was ordered and built early (before they suspended availability) why would any of that have been necessary?

Look at the VIN number.... it's definitively an early build unit....

I’m not paying that money unless I get to order it EXACTLY how I want it. And even then, from my calculations (with the 5% below invoice offers), my new one would be substantially less if dodge ever did decide to sell the M6HC again.

Very rare I’m sure. Personally Im going to buy the cheapest 19/20 M6HCWB I can find with under 15k miles, leather, and in a color combo that I like, if Dodge is truly done with the M6HC.

Agreed. Go Mango isn't in my top 3 for colors, plus no sunroof. I want the car I want. If it was black, then I could live without the sunroof. But, $86 large for a color that I don't love (plus cops can SEE!), I'll wait. Like I said, really interesting that it even exists.

Very interesting as I first started to try and order a car October of 2020 and was told 2020 just closed and manuals were on hold for 2021's. Someone must of pulled some major strings on that car. May be the only one.

 

[Slidd]

Possible he got this order in just before the cutoff in early October and it was built in November 2020, this car really more like a late 2020 with regards to all the restrictions that came along for the rest of the 2021 model year. Great find!

Actually, it Does have a sunroof. This is a really good find. I know one can order a new one cheaper, with 0 miles. But this is VERY rare!

The death of the manual transmission has been very exaggerated. There’s plenty of used ones and they’ll still be plenty of new ones to be built. Everybody who wants a manual transmission should get one. That’s why the other thread was closed. All nonsense predictions about the death of the manual. Fake news by people who have manual transmissions that want to Justify their purchase to seem cool that they have something that’s discontinued and hoping that their value goes up. It’s so obvious. GM just introduced a new Cadillac with a six speed manual.
