Well Dodge just dropped the apocalypse on its customer base. They released the dealer list and all the alllocation information for the final year 2023 of Challenger and Charger production. This is all they are making. And if you order a car from a dealer with no allocation, you just threw your money away and won't be getting a car.
Dodge totally hosed its customer base because now the dealers are DOUBLING the MSRPs on the high end cars because they only have single digit allocations (many got no allocations at all for any Challangers) and that's it. The dealer I got my 22 from was the largest selling dealer of Hellcats in the world and got a limited amount, too (see photo below)
Here is the final set amount of cars they will build:
29 Svelte-body Redeye Challengers (807 HP) (like mine)
112 Super Stock Challengers (807 HP)
694 Wide-body Redeye Challengers (807 HP)
2,549 Svelte-body Hellcat Challengers (717 HP)
2,797 Widebody Hellcat Challengers (717 HP)
And Dodge made them all "Jailbreak" editions meaning they raised the price again to permit you to order as ugly a paint/trim combination as you want (green with red interior, etc)
Go here and punch in your zipcode and then set to "all of US" and pick a specific model and you can see. My local dealer here in NJ didnt even get allocation for a 6-cyl Challenger!

For example, the dealer I got mine from (Koons in DC) which was the biggest seller of Hellcats inthe world has the following allocations:
5 Svelte-body Redeye Challengers (807 HP) (like mine)
11 Super Stock Challengers (807 HP)
31 Wide-body Redeye Challengers (807 HP)
91 Svelte-body Hellcat Challengers (717 HP)
94 Widebody Hellcat Challengers (717 HP)
I reached out to them early on to see if I could order a duplicate of what I have but in Plum Crazy (which they are bringing back for 2023). They said:
"The sales manager is making a list of potential buyers and will go down it to see what the buyers will offer them to purchase one (above MSRP, of course).
It seems like all the other dealers are doing the exact same thing. It is few and far between to see any postings of people who actually got a printed out sales contract confirmation from an allocated dealer at MSRP.
Oh, and all those final special edition sticker cars? The dealers seem to be buying them for themselves. Looks like the 1978 Indy Pace Car Corvette all over again.
There are potential customers calling 25 dealers a day just trying to make a purchase. There have already been several people who had sales contracts and paid deposits only to have the salesman call them back hours later saying they are cancelling and refunding their deposit because
"the owner wants to keep the car for himself unless of course you want to pay him a $100,000 ADM".
So, I'm glad I got my 2022 svelte-body Redeye when I did. And at the 6% below invoice price they were offering at the time.
And as I had a hunch, it will actually be the rarest bodystyle for the end of the era.
