⭐ Why This Car Is Worth Your Time
This 2009 Challenger SRT8 has a fully rebuilt engine with only ~3,000 miles on it. The rebuild was done by a reputable mechanic, with all machining completed at a CNC machine shop and every replacement part sourced as OEM. This car is mechanically solid where it counts and includes the full factory SRT package:
HID headlights
6-speed manual transmission
"Kicker" factory subwoofer
Premium wheels
Heated seats
Premium interior
Factory performance upgrades
If you’re looking for a strong SRT8 at a fair price—and don’t mind finishing up a few smaller fixes—this is a great opportunity.
