Oh well, I couldn't help myself. I got a call from a North Carolina dealer that I left my name with, a few weeks ago just to test the waters. He had one allocation for one of the 29 Narrow Body Redeye Jailbreak Challengers that will be built and I was first on the list. I bought a 300C there 17 years ago from them so I am considered a repeat customer I guess. :-)

the offer: MSRP ! and their dealer fee is ZERO. Just taxes and tag/title.

So the wait begins...again. They don't start the 2023 builds until January but I enjoy the anticipation.

The only glitch was that the wheels I like (the Machined Granite Pocket Wheels like on my 2022) are no longer available. The only other choices were not so good - the standard black 5-spoke, the silver five spoke or the super gaudy Brass Monkey 10 spoke. So my son picked the ugliest one they had (the Brass Monkey) for the build.

They also don't show an optional 3.09 rear gear anymore so I dont know if it comes standard or if they are only using the 2.62 rear gear for 2023 since the "build your own" website is still only showing the 2022 options.

So here it is:

Svelte-Body Redeye Jailbreak 807 hp
one of 29 to be built
Plum Crazy
Demonic Red leather interior
HK Stereo

I already have the Purchase Order Contract in hand with the magic "5N9" sold allocation, guaranteed schedule build code on it.

The 2023 waiting game is afoot!
