560 hp Dodge Challenger Convertible
Coach Builders Ltd is best known for it's convertible conversions of the Chrysler 300 and Cadillac CTS, so after Dodge nixed any plans it had of building a Challenger drop top, they stepped right in to fill the void.
The Florida-based company will bring a customized soft-top Dodge Challenger SRT8 to SEMA, packing a Vortech supercharger good for 560 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. In addition to the hydraulically powered acrylic polyester cloth roof (complete with sound and temperature insulation), the Challenger is dropped courtesy of a KW coil-over suspension over 22-inch Foose wheels coated in Nitto rubber.
The cost of the conversion, which also includes a heated glass rear window, matching headliner and a rear strut bar to shore up the chassis, is a whopping $16,000, making for a $58,000 hair dryer when rolled into the $41,695 base price of an SRT8. But for those looking to buy a drop top Challenger, it's the only way to go.
