AMT 08 Challenger Promo's are now out

[SteveG]

.... I didn't pull any strings to get this today, just luck of the draw. I paid for it through Chrysler LLC marketing like everyone did else last August. I got a notice Weds that it was being shipped and it showed today.

Check out the "Caution Label" on the box. It looks like a pretty nice promo to me.

I think it should make a great curbside kit. Hopefully we'll be seeing those soon too.

That looks pretty good! I like the individual numbering on the chassis. I look forward to the other colors as well.

So, gonna take it apart and re-work it??? LOL

Looks good..I noticed the charge on my CC on Tues then got the email Weds...haven't received mine yet, though.

[SteveG]

What's the price tag on these little gems? Are they making them only in orange?

Man, it is SO good to see that AMT logo on a box with some new tooling inside!

It listed for $24.99 plus shipping and sales tax. They are going for double that on that "auction place" right now.

They are all the same as far as I know but I expect there will be other releases.

Looks decent, I'll wait for the curbside R/T kit.

For anyone asking about full-detail, Revell's kit will be full-detail.

Wheels look small, tire sidewalls too tall. Visually they look like they're 18's and not 20's.

I preordered from Dodge's website back in August. AMT has announced kit versions for '09--an R/T and an SRT8 like the promo. I assume we will see other colors of the promo in time.

I got mine online from Chrysler LLC Promotional Merchadise, I ordered it back in August. As far as I know it sold out.

There will be two curbide kits from AMT coming next year. The photo below is from the I-hobby Expo show.

Revell has promised us a full detail kit as well, I haven't heard any news about it lately or seen a test shot yet. Hopefully more news soon.

The AMT curbsides look like snap kits, should be decent though simplified..but what's up w/ the tires in the pic--it looks like partial axles on the wheel backs that stick into the chassis? Haven't looked closely at that aspect of my promo, but I would assume it has metal axles..

I think that is just some excess vinyl sprue coming off the tires. I also noticed all the small parts are still on the trees and nothing is plated yet. I guessing it's just a test shot.

I also noted that the price for the promo version is already dropping on evilbay, it looks like it pays to wait.

Does anyone know if you can get these at a Chrysler dealer ?

[Rob Hall]

anyone notice that the box art says limited edition only 7000 made, but the chassis shows # ? of 6794? what happened to the other 200 or so?

it does look like a very nicely done promo though, thank you for posting the pics!

Maybe Chrysler is giving them away to press, etc at auto shows or other events.
