First Dodge Charger goes for $75k

[ekool]

We told you about Dodge auctioning off the very first Dodge Charger to roll off the production line a few weeks back, but because of the auto show madness it slipped our mind. The car sold for an amazing $75,100 Friday on eBay. But that figure includes the NASCAR shell that was part of the official introduction at the Detroit Auto Show and a trip for two to see the NASCAR race at Darlington Raceway. It seems Chrysler can do no wrong these days. They’re taking the momentum the 300C gave them and follow it with big promotions like this.

The winner is a Chrysler employee working at a stamping plant in Ohio.....
There is another Chrysler employee(at the same plant) that got a Dodge Intrepid that was painted and decaled like Bill Elliotts NASCAR back when Dodge first came back to NASCAR....
I think he got it from somebody that won it off EBAY for 25 or 30 grand.
