I've had hundreds of mopars thru the years, and new vans, trucks, and motorcycles. Somehow, I never purchased a new "car". I went online, looking at new trucks....and almost threw-up at the prices. My dually is gonna stay the course.
However, I decided to look at dealer inventory. I stumbled on a car I hadn't heard of. 2023 Chrysler 300C. Apparently, these weren't advertised and a limited run model [2000 USA]. It's a SRT car, and has all the mechanical pieces of a Hellcat, except the supercharger.
They came in 3 colors, and I found a red one. It seems that you can only get one, if someone backed-out of their order. The dealers only delivered these cars. A person had to order directly/order with Stellantis...thru paypal direct-deposit. I got mine, because the person who ordered it [name on window-sticker]... got anxious and wouldn't wait for it to be built. He bought a loaded Charger. Anyways, it's a NA 6.4/8-speed. It has all the go fast stuff, and all the Chrysler 300 comfy stuff.
It's a riot to drive, and behaves like a SRT. I fell for it, as it's a gentleman's hot-rod. No scoops, splitters, defusers, stripes, cartoon characters, etc.
About six weeks after purchasing it, Stellantis/Chrysler sent me a really nice certificate of authenticity. Leather cover, laser-etched, and full info. Pretty cool. Nice send-off for the 300 and hemi mopars.
