My 1st gen Neon Challenge racecar collection

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Thu Sep 18, 2008 4:11 pm

Boneyardracing had brought up the Neon Challenge cars in a previous post. I am finally going through all my goodies and finally came across them. Pardon the dust, they have been in storage for years. They have very little mileage on them

Here are the others as well...

OK, now be honest...how many people thought I was talking about the real cars?

Nice Mopar collection. Now send them to me, except the 1gn's. You can have those.

No.

I will get some better pic of the rest of the collection. What is up is maybe half of what I own.

ACRUcrazy might have us beat with the 3 real ones but what you gunna do

I had a set of brookfields when I was a kid(smaller kid) that might be a bit of the spiral that led to this obsession. I need to get at least a black challenge car a black sdn and a Egreen sdn

Now how can 3 real ones be better than what I have? I mean really!

<-------So jealous...

Well done on the brand! These Neons are the Brookfield ones, and the only one I'm missing is the green. It was no longer available when I got these new

John, Your missing alot more then just the green.

And Blair, you're gonna hate me in a minute... LoL

What no NYG challenge (I played with that one the most go figure)

Post by **Canada** » Thu Sep 18, 2008 7:02 pm

As far as I have ever seen and been told, there was not one ever made that colour in a Challenge.

You're right I must have been thinking of the regular yellow one you all ready have. So what does it take to get the black sdn and the emerald sdn in a box and down here?

Post by **Canada** » Thu Sep 18, 2008 7:47 pm

The black ones pop up on ebay periodically, the emerald one I have only ever seen one time other then when I bought mine.

its a lil messed up tho cause I had it in my car.

I have an emerald green one too but its FUCKED UP.... kinda left that in the car too... it looks like a real 1gn that got in an accident lol

Trinity · Post by **Trinity** » Fri Sep 19, 2008 1:18 am

My son has an Egreen sedan, my daughter has a Magenta Coupe, and I have the NYG sedan and black Challenge Coupe.
I'm missing some outside rear view mirrors - anyone have any extras?

Tina, you wanna sell the messed up Egreen sedan? Give ya $7.50 shipped for it (USPS Parcel Post is cheapest)...

Canada (sorry, don't know your real name), where did you get that sweet model display case?? I need about 3 of those real bad...

OB · Post by OB » Fri Sep 19, 2008 5:00 am

I'm so unbelievably jealous of the neon neon sign. That is so chock full of win I dont even know what to do about it. I need one.

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Fri Sep 19, 2008 10:06 am

Damn Chris...that collection is truly sick! I had forgotten about the others. Hell, I didn't even know about the white ones

Thanks Derek

The sign came from a dealer in State College/Bellefont PA. They promised to "donate" the sign when the last Neon was sold. I kinda sucked that I had to wait until 2005 even though Plymouth dropped in 2001

I agree. That sign is........ well, I just might have to sneak over to your house (when your not there, of course) and snag that thing of beauty for myself. Damn why do you have to live on the other side of the states, 3000 miles away. Arg........ Damn you.

The sign should have gone to a "Plymouth" owner

like me, and not a "Dodge" owner.

Pro Stock Neon > All other neons

Oddly enough David, I was thinking about you when I hung it up there

Keep in mind that when I got it, I did have a Plymouth Neon. I've had it in storage that long.

That pro-stock does kick ass though

King Crab · Post by **King Crab** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 11:41 am

^ You had a "Plymouth" Neon at one point....... Cool. It's all right as rain then. I knew that there was more to you than meets the eye.

Now, why don't you have the "Plymouth" anymore?

Danteneon · Post by **Danteneon** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 1:48 pm

My first Neon was a red 00 base model. What happened to it is that I went and got divorced and some other very bad stuff happened. I had to give the car back and declare bankruptcy

No worries David. The way I look at it is what has happened in my life has put me where I am today. I wouldn't trade that for anything

Trinity · Post by **Trinity** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 11:10 pm

and got a yellow one on the way within the next two weeks.

I have that sign too but it stopped working once I got it home from the dealership and I haven't had the cash to take it to a neon sign shop for a tune-up. The story behind it: I had offered a dealership $200 for their sign but a salesman gave it to me for free after I made a post on 2GN for a used SRT-4 that they had on their lot for several months.

Back on topic, I really dig those models. I remember when they were available at 1GN introduction time and should have acquired them then. Nice collection you have Danteneon and Canada as well.

Thanks David

And Tina, glad to be an enabler

haha Tina, you'll nevere catch me now

BTW, if you come up this way those are in my room, I'll "wrestle" you for them
