Hey all.. I joined the forum about 2 months ago but this is my first post...We were lucky enough then that we found an SRT6 Metal Grey Roadster with 19K miles at a Carmax in Ca..We had it shipped sight unseen (except for the pictures you see that I posted) to where we live in Nashville, TN...It took about 3 weeks...It was a horrible wait... Needless to say at this point we have been the proud owners of this little beauty all of about 3 weeks..he he..

And I can honestly say at 41 years old..This is the coolest car that I have ever had! My first "toy" car if you will.. My vin is #050080.. Does that indicate that we have #80 in production for the year?.. I cant imagine that I can appreciate this car any more.. he he... but it would be kinda cool..

Quick question..I would love to know what others have done on purchasing a windscreen??... I see the one from Mopar but wanted to ask around before I went that direction...(I need that before the fall trip to the Smokies with the wife!)..Speaking of her, she loves the car as much as I do which is odd....he he..I will post some new pictures as soon as we get our camera out of repair.

None the less.. Thanks for the info and I look forward to chatting!

Cheers!!

 

Nice! This forum is growing leaps and bounds lately! Welcome aboard!

 

Welcome! Congrats on your new cool xfire SRT-6! Enjoy the ride and enjoy the forum!

 

congrats on the funnest car around. No one knows what it is, and you can play with the pedal as often as you want.

 

Welcome to the forum and good luck with the new ride. ILLCYA

 

Welcome to the forum. It is hard to tell when your car was made as they were built in between all production. The numbers I have are all mixed in. I think there is only a couple that have close numbers.

 

Congratulations on a great car !
And also welcome to the forum.
I hope ya got a great deal on the purchase price.

 

welcome aboard....just set back, read through the threads on windscreens...everyone has an opinion on them...I have one which is perfect for what I wanted, but your the one who has to be pleased...so good luck on your search...oops, forgot to tell you to just use the search feature, and I purchased mine from KingPennSky if I remembered correctly, but he will be in the threads....

 

Congratulations! You have a really fun car now, enjoy it!

 

i'm pretty sure coyote's graphite coupe and mine are 10-20 numbers apart. i always supposed that our cars were made same day on the line.

 

Hey there from Sanger Cal., I used to live near there but now am in OR. I picked up my coupe 8/8 08. I hope you are as pleased with your SRT-6 as I am. Tomygun

 

Welcome,

I believe you will enjoy the heck out of it.

Thank you very much for the warm welcome guys.. Thats very cool of you all... yeh I havent had the urge to go crusing fo rmany years.. but since we have had the SRT we often are lookiing for the long way home...he he..or the scenic route if you will..
But Im still looking for the wind screen.. I have sent several emails to people on the board here about a fabric wind screen?.. I have also looked thru the boards here and googled, yahooed, and msn'd at least 10 pages deep but still cant find where to get one..Any ideas?

Have a great holiday!

 

Welcome to the forum!

I think yours is #50,080, maybe not the 80th, from how I understand the vin numbers. Mine is 58520. Check your door for a sticker that has your build date. Mine is 0316, meaning March 16, 2005.

 

Welcome... welcome... !! Congratulations on the purchase!

Id check mine but the wife has it.

I personally like the one available here. The mesh windscreen looks like it's OEM and a natural for the car.

 

I have the Chrysler windscreen and it's easy to mount and there are no holes (I did not install the bottom track on purpose). In reality, it makes little difference when driving with the windows down. With them up, it only reduces turbulence a little. At the end of the day, it wasn't worth the investment.

 

BTW - you have an incomplete "required service"
Your car has the defective cooling fan.
Take this with you to the dealer for the free service and get the replacement fan motor:
