SPOT ON.. DODGE REALLY SCREWED THE PEOPLE THAT MADE THESE CARS [email protected]

 

[Xylander]

As someone who has a lot of experience with detailing, laying, removing, and reinstalling custom vinyls over the years... I'm amazed that nobody here is bringing up the fact that these cars are sticker specials and that stickers don't last. It doesn't matter if you put them up in a garage or not. Leaving them outside will accelerate the outgassing and dehydration of the vinyl, but by around 10 years, these things will be dry and brittle. Vinyls on the topside of the vehicle like the Black Ghost's will weather first as it's on the extreme most sunny side of the car... and it's black. What's going to happen when that 7 year vinyl sticker dry rots? If you replace it, the original rating of the car is gone. That stupid sticker is the ONLY thing on that car that makes it unique. It won't last 10 years in good condition and by 15 years, it'll likely have been long peeling off or dry rotting. Dodge isn't going to make any stock replacements for them.

Vinyl wears over time as they lose moisture. There's no way to get around it. You can try sealants and all that, but I've never seen any product that can seal a vinyl that isn't something like an epoxy (and you would never put that on a car). Ceramic and polymer coatings still allow the vinyl to breathe and outgas.

It's for this reason that I don't suspect these special edition cars will ever be worth a premium in the future. Short term, yes. But in 10 years? Collectors aren't going to buy a car with a dry rotted sticker or a Black Ghost that had its sticker roof removed due to dry rot.

The only sticker edition with something unique is the superbee with the drag pack option and SRT drag setting. The only charger ever with this setting. Missed opportunity for the King Daytona named after drag racing history.

I don’t like the Super Bee stickers, so I would remove them immediately.

The people that can afford these cars today
Will not out live the life of the decal.

Just lipstick on a tired 15 year old platform. Milk it for all you can Stellantis.

I personally love all the final additions, those luck few that were able to scoop them up will be paid ten fold when they go to sell them. Those cars have instant equity when you roll off the lot and will only continue to appreciate. They really are the 1 of 1 cars

Well, one of 50, until your sticker falls off.

1 of 1 in sense of rarity...a limited run of 50 identical cars is more rare and WAY more valuable in terms of future collectability than a vanilla hellcat, redeye or ss that is a 1 of 1 only due to the options ordered

 

[Mattm400]

They could have done more, maybe special anniversary wheels, spoiler, or even a hood, just something other than PepBoys stickers. At least it would make one feel better about the huge upshift in price for the same old car.

No argument from me. I’ll keep my plain Hellcat and leave the 50k sticker for those who love alligator.

I don’t think so. There is nothing unique about the car outside of the stickers. This will be the most faked special edition of them all. order a black redeye, warp speed carbon satin wheels, have a vinyl shop put on a white bumblebee stripe, vinyl shop make the fake alligator vinyl roof, somebody is going to make a fake black ghost badge for the dash. You can buy the Dodge letters and the Challenger script anywhere. you’re going to see a lot more than 300 of these cars on the road and not be able to tell the difference between which ones are real or fake Because none of them are numbered…

The D O D G E across the front is literally the only cool thing I’ve seen on these special editions. But yeah, I have to wonder if they came from the leftovers bin at the Grand Caravan factory lol.

Except the real ones are real and the fakes are just fakes. The 1 of 1 vanila hellcats, redeyes, and ss's ARE NOT limited in any way shape of form, the fact is the are just challengers or charges and in the end worth no more or less for that matter than the car sitting next to them. These final addition cars in that sense are WAY MORE rare and there for WAY MORE valuable in terms of collectability and investment profitability. These cars don't need a special numbered badge, their VIN will tell all

if you want to believe that, go ahead.

The redeye widebody jailbreaks are going to be potentially more valuable in the future, because this year they’re only making 644 of them and they will be the only jailbreaks with the last call plaques.

Now let’s look at how special the last call special edition cars are :

Let’s say they’re making 200 to 300 each of the special editions and everyone is made exactly the same way. The only special edition as of now, that has the same horsepower as the jailbreak is the back ghost and it’s arguably one of the ugliest of the limited edition models.

Every single one of them is made exactly the same way.

Now let’s compare that to the 2023 jailbreak : They can be ordered with more desirable high impact colors, they’re only making 644 redeye widebody so they are very limited this year and will have the last call Plaques. Because of all the different option combinations, you can choose when ordering the jailbreak, much better chance you can build a one of one because of the jailbreak only options that will be significantly more rare than the black ghost.

Just say😂😂

Fact the ADM is higher on the last call special editions. Why you ask, because they are the rarest, even if built the same, nothing you can say or think of can change that. Dealers are not dumb, if they thought the vanilla hellcats, redeyes and ss's would bring in more money then the ADM's on those would be higher.

If you fell for all of the internet hype, then you probably felt let down.

The people are just buying into the marketing and fear of missing out. Same thing happened with the Shelby GT 500 KR’s ended up being with nothing
