The complementary pinstripes on the doors and dash of the SMS Supercars are a nice touch...

mollypop is one of those colors you have to see in person to appreciate.i didnt think it was anything special from pics,but seeing it in person made me a fan.

[SCMcQueen]

That is one sweet Challenger! thanks for the pics of the SMS facility; looks VERY impressive! I would however opt for the silver car shown in the background next to the yellow sign!

...... I would however opt for the silver car shown in the background next to the yellow sign!

Ditto!! I would love to take one of those for a spin!

[redflagsc]

on my way to surf this morning I happened upon the delivery of a red 570X here in Redondo Beach. He saw the car at LA Auto Show and was sold! I hung out for a bit and got to chat w/ the new owner. I even waited to see him return from his first spin, smiles ear to ear:biggrin:. I'm glad to see an SMS vehicle in the area, hpoefully more to come....

[02saleen]

I also would not mind driving the silver car along with a few cars outside the viper, truck and two mustangs of course also a 570x

hey 'Coot;Nice Avatar update!!

Is this dodge's idea of competing with SMS? Let me explain, although it's obviously not in direct competition with the highly modded SMS Challenger, I find it more than coincidental that the color of the Challenger is similar to Mollypop Pink.

Chrysler offered a Panther Pink in 1970.

I saw the car .Neat color. It is not very far from where I live. Ringold Chrysler Dodge is the biggest Viper Dealer in the Nation! There is usally at least 30 Vipers on the lot! Mark

I always wondered about this color.

To be honest, the front bumper on my rainbow was repaired and completely repainted. One would know if I didn't tell them. Then again, it is multiple colors so possibly it is slightly easier than a single, custom and difficult color--if that makes any sense.


But it sucks to see that happen to a new car, but they are fortunate it was not a total loss...

[ctann]

I'm sorry, $85k for a car with a dent? Why on earth wouldn't they fix the damage? Campbell Ford went to great lengths and expense to put a badly wrecked S302E back on the road, I don't quite get why this dealer wouldn't repair this car first - unless there is more damage than meets the eye, and they are hoping the buyer won't notice?

Chris.

[wertman94]

Maybe the dealer has bigger problems to sort out?

[XEVIOUS]

Thats the problem with custom colors like this, a dealer would have to suck up serious costs to get it painted seemlessly, and outside of getting the paint from the OEM (and who-ever they got it from.. BASF) only a pro custom paintshop could do the job, certainly not the standard shop.

BUT thats often the price of purchasing unique, and when it comes to saleens most people still think on the order or a normal car when repair work needs to be done. Its very different, often time consuming and fustrating.

With saleens, you often have to have the mindset of exotic supercar. cause to be honest, when repair shops or dealers go over your ride KNOWing its special, theyre rarely gonna charge you standard OEM rates. it sucks but its more than often true.

[snakebite8]

most likely the dealer is hoping to take a few bucks off for the damage like $300.00. person buying the is going to either going to be fine with the damage and not repair it or bring it to a shop and find out that its going to cost 800 to get it repaired. the dealers saved money for not making the repair and the car got sold. thats how they look at it. when i was selling cars in college i sold a new 03 cobra and the tip of the right fender had no paint but had clear on it. about an inch big. the manager at the time and real jerk tired to tell the guy not to get it fixed because it came from the factory like that. he did not want to take money out of the deal to get fixed. it almost killed the deal and i was ****ed. he told the guy he would take a 100 bucks off. i was like come on . fix the fender. went to my aunt and uncle who owner the dealership and they got the fender fixed.

[wertman94]

I remember reading somewhere that the mollypop paint was several thousand dollars a pint.

Actually, chameleons surprisingly blend fairly easily, from my experience. Then again, somebody apparently did have issues with the front bumper and hood repaint on the Mustang pictured below.

[wertman94]

Yeah, doesn't look like they blended it at all.

[Jim D.]

What you are actually seeing is a photography/lighting effect.

The hood and bumper of Molly's #07-01 SC were indeed repainted after the Great American Run, but the fender was not painted or blended in. Though the paint does not match that well, that's not what you're seeing in the photo.

Plus the Molly Pop is not a "chameleon" paint if I recall correctly.

[wertman94]

Sometimes the flex additive for plastic parts such as bumpers can give certain colors a different hugh which might be an explanation. But I know what you are saying my wife bought one of the new synergy green camaros and from different angles the lighting makes that color look different.
