Maybe they'll swap it with a new Challenger when it comes out..

It's a 71 Challenger with 72 Challenger Rallye front fender scoops.

The story I got on this car was 5 years ago this woman drove it to the dealership and traded the Challenger on a new min-van The problem was it has her husband’s toy . he was at work and did not know anything about it till he got home I was told there was a big fight at the dealership the guy wanted his car back and told them he was getting back no mater what so the dealership put the challenger on the roof to keep the guy for getting his car back ( what a weasel move) Today It must be killing the guy just to see it up there and my bet is his wife and him are no longer together Hell I drive by it at lest 4 times a week and it kills me seeing it up there I stop by at lest once a month to see if they would sell it but they keep telling me no way Who Know maybe they don’t have the title
To me it a waste to have it up there

Did you ever stop there before the Challenger was there? Sounds like they sold you a couple Jeeps because it was there. I'm sure its paid for the $5K or so they probably gave the lady for it.

Never heard about the husband story and dont believe thats true. Also they gave the lady the minivan even for the car.
Its there for advertising and nothing else...Smart move if you ask me...Its not like its a Hemi car

BTW It was longer than 5 years ago.
