The things some people do really perplex me????? Why in your right mind would you ever even think about doing something like this. Look closely and see if you figure out what he did before you read the description. Ridiculous:confused: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge-Charger-SRT-8-2006-DODGE-CHARGER-SRT8-6-1-HEMI-CHEAPEST-ANYWHERE-R-T_W0QQitemZ320215529191QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item320 215529191

Daum for 25k for a srt-8 charger...miuns the seat's radio,hood and bumper's still a good deal though

well considering he prolly traded someone for all the stock stuff and prolly a few grand he made out alright.. I say just put some stock RT wheels on it and one hell of a sleeper...

Everything about that car is R/T except the 6.1.I would not trust them.I know because I traded an 2006 R/T for my GC.

It is pretty sad. But what if you bought it, put a 5.7 hemi in it and resold it as an R/T for around $24,000 couldnt you get a free 6.1L out of it?

If is it truly and SRT8 in R/T clothing, that makes for an awesome sleeper on the streets as no one would think the R/T is gonna give them a run...

That Is Still Alot For A Stript Srt8 Plus It Has Lights On Dash And All Those Parts Would Cost More Than New To Put Back.No Brembos So Evan A Sleeper It Is Losing Performance.

Whats so ****ing hard to believe? The guy stripped the car before they repo'd it... I've seen plenty worse.

I'm with you. We're always saying "nobody knows what an SRT-8 is"... so why not try to pull one over on the bank and sell the SRT stuff to somebody else? Not saying I agree with the strategy, but it doesn't seem unlikely to me.

I give the seller kudos for telling us what the car is missing. Somebody without ethics would have slapped a few SRT-8 badges on it to bring it back to life and tried to sell it for what it once was instead of plainly stating what it now is.

I think it's a buy.

I wonder if the engine is a 5.7. Is there any way to tell? Someone could have swapped Vin#s between an SRT and an R/T. That would explain how this car is so completely de-contented.

I was thinking along those same lines. When I first saw it I thought it was an RT with the 6.1 manifold and valve covers.

I can bet it is a true SRT as the vin says. It would only take about 2 hours to do the complete swap if you had the RT and SRT next to each other and swapped parts. And I HIGHLY doubt there would be any vin switching.

At first I thought you were talking about the ghetto wheels and then I was thinking it was not an SRT-8...the seats through me off....then I read the description... Pretty crazy

Let's see,
Replace hood
Replace front bumper
Replace trunk lid
Replace wheels, rotors and calipers at all 4 corners
Replace seats
Replace radio

Sounds like a lot of work to me...

Sell that all for a few grand and like i stated before its about 2 or 3 hours of work.. Not bad if your going to lose your car anyways..

I am with you. That is total BS. The guy is trying to sell the car quick to someone who doesn't know the difference. He is full of it.

I think it is truely an SRT, it has SRT gauges. and the lights on in the dash show stuff is missing.

The vin reflects that it is an srt model
