Challengers are scarce on the road around my way (NJ), too.

The question of production numbers has been asked of Dodge. They refuse to answer and say it is "proprietary."

We have 4 in my home town. 2 black and 2 red.
The blacks are SRT8s, then there is my RED R/T and a RED SE

Default Challys in my town ...

Not sure how many are in my town in Maryland but the local dealer here gets a couple Challengers in and in about 2 weeks they are gone. I have seen maybe 1 to 2 dozen at the local dealler total now.

All I know is that as soon as my B5 Blue R/T Classic comes it it will be on the streets.

The March release had production figures for the month and "current year-to-date." Does anyone know how many 2009 Challengers were produced in 2008, from Sept. to December?

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:

This is really not good news for those waiting to buy a Challenger as with these sales figures...the Challenger will not be around in a couple of years....the numbers just don't justify keeping them in production....And, unfortunately Ridge Runner is correct...if it were not for the dealers, we would have more Challengers on the road today. It's good news for those of us that own a new Challenger as we will not have to worry about trying to find our cars in a parking lot full of Challengers....and it will keep the value of the car higher in the long run.....But all in all it's still a sad state when Chrysler could have sold many more, and who knows whether or not this could have helped Chrysler, financially.....
