Hi folks;
This site goes out to all DODGE CHALLENGER (and also Plymouth 'Cuda) freaks. Just go to my site www.dodge-challenger.at and you will find some interesting informations and photos about our Mopar's and also my own Challenger.
About myself:
My name is DI Aaron Sch�ssler and I'm from Austria. I'm addicted to my 1972 Dodge Challenger, which I bought in 2006. I've studied "Multi Media Art" and after I've finished my study I started my own commercial agency. Check out www.digiphonic.at
My second love is my metal / rockband called .sPout. - we are touring through Europe - so please check out our tourdates and infos on www.spout.biz
I started searching for my Challenger in spring 2006. I was searching on all used car internet platforms and magazines like "Chrom & Flammen", but I couldn't find the right one. Half a year later I'd found only 2 Challenger's and they were restored to stock condition (or maybe better). You know the price of such cars! The first one costs over � 50.000 and the second one just over � 40.000! That was absolutely to heavy for my wallet! I nearly gave up searching for a Challenger and so I started searching for my second choice - a 1967 to 1969 Chevy Camaro. Thank god, that I also do not find the right Camaro! BECAUSE:
STRIKE! I found the right CHALLENGER!
Mopar's were always my first choice! But my daily drive is a GMC Syclone! Just visit www.syclone.at (this site is under construction)
In autum 2006, I found my 1972 Challenger in Germany with an 318cui V8 engine featuring some well done Edelbrock components. No rust, in good condition and not so expensive than the other Challengers. I payed about � 18.000,-- but the interior was awful. So I decided to make something completely different inside the car than restoring it to stock conditions. I made this decision because it is "only" a 1972 and not one of those important models of 1970 or 1971.
I like the style of the Chip Foose Challenger interpretations with big rims and so on. So I wanted to design my own showcar with no compromises. One winter, a lot of work (thanks to the hifigarage for the interior / thanks to House of Performance for the Airride) and about another � 15.000,-- later:
Ideas already realized in 2006 / 2007:
- leather & alcantara interior (black / red design)
- Kenwood in-dash touchscreen DVD player
- a high fidelity audio system (by audio system)
- 4 subwoofers in the trunk (by mtx)
- TypeR gauges
- big 20 inch Razor wire wheels (front standard & back reverse!)
- Airride shock absorbers (by house of performance)
Ideas I'd like to realize in the future:
- fourlink system (no leaf springs anymore!)
- disc brakes (front and rear)
- 2 color paint inspired by Foose (maybe black & candy apple red)
- bigger engine (402 magnum stroker engine with 435hp & 457 torque)
- maybe 22 inch (10J) wire rims on the back
- modifying my Challenger to a 1970's front grille
I hope that you enjoy my site about my Challenger!

all the best
