I believe they will come out with the convertible next fall or in 2010 so as to compete with the Camaro.
I did not say you made the picture.

I still say I will believe it when I see it. The first Challenger convertible did not last either.

It is most certainly a tainted picture.

Re: Challenger Convertible on Car & Driver

The convertable looks even more old school cause the B pillars gone.

Re: Challenger Convertible on Car & Driver

They would have to engineer some way to make up for the stiffness lost with the b pillar gone, which is no small amount. Also would have to fab up rear windows, etc. A hardtop convertible would be slick.

Re: Challenger Convertible on Car & Driver

I have a friend in Cal that has a 70 convert with a 440 6 pack numbers matching and a 4 gear. Very rare ho got it from a guy that did not pay his $1100 paint and body bill back i nthe early 80s, imagine what it is worth today?

they could probably do something like they did with the PT Cruiser with that 'roll bar' sort of thing that they put in it..
