I was able to locate a Chrysler press release showing how many 2009 Challengers were sold in 2008. With this information, I now have the toal number sold, as of April 30, 2009: 28,441. This is far from Dodge's original projections of 40-60,000! I guess its the 70s all over again and we have fairly exclusive cars.
There were 11,018 sold in 2008 and 17,423 sold in 2009.
Here is the May 2, 2009 press release:
