LOVE the 300c. Especially when ppl put Whipples on them lol. The new 300 looks sorta like a CTSV which isnt a bad thing at all. Bet its super luxurious!

Dealers don't know anything more than we do. Which is a shame. Almost no information about how this last hurrah was going to be handled, was disseminated from Stellantis to the dealer network. This is across ALL their brands. I'm slated for a new 300C and reserved it the day it was announced. (9/13/2022) The dealer had no idea that the car was coming out nor anything about the reservation/order process. (Which was strictly controlled by Chrysler) Luckily I had made a good choice in dealerships and they made sure to find out the correct procedure to initiate the order and what will happen until delivery. Many that wanted this model weren't as fortunate and their dreams of getting one of the last V8 Mopars was crushed. As of TODAY, none of the 300C's has been manufactured. Over 2000 customers waiting patiently, with many opting for another vehicle and cancelling their orders. Some have been able to get TENTATIVE production dates anywhere from middle of April all the way to July. I'm in no rush, so I'll wait as long as it takes.

I hope so. There are absolutely no options, except color (Black, White and Red). This model is extremely well equipped PLUS the 392!

Am hearing that Plum Crazy will not be produced after all. Don't have a lot of info at this point but that's the word going around.
Not sure this is correct.

I've seen no info like this whatsoever after an extensive search...sounds like forum rumors or hearsay. I'd not be concerned Betty...give your dealer a call and have them investigate. If it is true, they'd be the first to know, not somebody without a Plumb Crazy car on order.

I called the Dodge number that I have for checking order status. The person I talked to checked with their management, and he reassured me that they have had NO kind of information like this from the company. It is just a rumor, and should not have been spread on here without a specific source for it.

I am also going to check in with a local service rep that is in our Challenger Group in the Black Hills. He sold my friend Keila one in Plum Crazy, so I want to give Chris a heads up.

I did just put a call into my dealership in Grand Island, and talked to my sales rep. He said they have had NO notification about this happening at all...

Thank you Art, that is very reassuring. You are a good friend! Well, if I can't get a challenger in Plum Crazy, then I can get a Jeep!
Granted it’s not a Challenger but if Plum Crazy is available on a Jeep, don’t see why it wouldn’t be available on a Challenger particularly if it was advertised as a Challenger paint option this year unless FCA decided to drop it which seems doubtful to me.

Agree. They went ahead and gave me a VIN#, so it will soon be scheduled for production. Why would they do that if they aren't going to make plum crazy?

They may have closed orders for Plum Crazy going forward. They have done that before.

That Jeep color is called Reign and is quite striking. Although it is not the same as Plumb Crazy on the Dodge side of things, it would be a fine substitue if you ask me! I'd almost prefer it myself. Only available on a limited basis for 2023.

Saw this at my dealership yesterday. It’s a 2023 Jeep Wrangler.

When my wife and I visited the Dodge dealer to pick up a new belly pan for the Scat last week, she saw a jeep just like that although in another color.
She fell in love with it! Will be my next off road vehicle once the 20 yo truck dies she said. I'm currently adding arsenic to it's gas now!

Good eye Kevin. It sure looks very similar to Plum Crazy in person.
