Ditto. I was disappointed they never built the rumored 300C convertible, butDrDeath said:I would prefer a retractable, but the top is going to have to go down in order to get me to buy .
I think the convertible will depend on how popular the car becomes and how many units they sell. I dont see this car being a failure tho, so I think a convertible version is inevitible.41husk said:If it is built will they build a convertible, and does anyone have any insight on price range?
Mr.DJ said:IMHO, a two-door convertible with sleek body lines; i.e., the new generation Dodge 'Challenger' will certainly be more visually appealing than a four-door '300C' version.![]()
Now, if the '300C' convertible would only be reconfigured into this exquisite concept model (the '300 HEMI-C'), then I just might reconsider the entire idea all together.![]()

Uhhh well if a 1970 Cuda could withstand the 500+ lb/ft of a 426 Hemi, I think a modern convertible could be engineered to withstand the ~425 lb/ft of the 6.1L.JET said:Ditto. I was disappointed they never built the rumored 300C convertible, but
a lighter, smaller Challenger convertible would be even better, even if
structural concerns (i.e. bending the frame/body just ahead of the rear wheels due to rear wheel torque) would limit it to the smallest V8 or
largest V6.

That may be, but there were comparatively few if any Hemi convertibles
built in the 70's, and they only had something like stock G70-15 tires to
provide traction (not very much) most of the 500 ft/lbs turning into
smoke. With modern street rubber thats stickier and wider than 70's race
rubber, and car's being engineered lighter, it'll take a lot of reinforcing in
that area to meet warranty specs with a Hemi. Might not be worth the
headache to Chrysler.
