(from Mr. Norm's
Press Release) Mr. Norms Super Truck- Online Auction During
Chicago Auto Show to kick-off first new Mr. Norms model in 35
years.
To officially kick-off the sale of the first brand new Mr. Norms
performance model in more than 35 years, we will be auctioning off
production Mr. Norms Super Truck Serial #1 AND the Mr. Norms Super
Truck Concept on eBay Motors in conjunction with the debut of
appearance of the Mr. Norms Gss Hemi Dart at 100th Chicago Auto
Show, Thursday February 7th. The 10 day online auction conducted by
ShowYourAuto.com will end on Sunday the 17th. The winner of each
auction will be announced from the floor of the Chicago Auto Show,
Sunday morning the 17th at the Mr. Norms 1968 Gss Hemi Dart,
displayed at the Volo Auto Museums 100 Years of the Chicago Auto
Show showcase. If the winner of either vehicle is present, they will
be presented the keys to the vehicle in person.
The 2008 Mr. Norms HEMI Ram 1500 Super Truck is built on the
formula that made Mr. Norm famous; fueling passion while respecting
the person. That is demonstrated once more in this collectible truck
you can really drive. When Mr. Norm ordered performance oriented
Mopars new at Grand Spaulding Dodge, he configured each batch to be
the best model possible for performance upgrade, carefully choosing
the options he knew his customers wanted, allowing them to
personalize each vehicle once they took delivery. This time tested
approach shows why Mr. Norm is still the King of High Performance.
The result is a 2008 Super Truck that gives you real performance,
real personalization, and real collectible value delivered at a
tremendous value and convenience.
The Mr. Norms Concept Super Truck has certainly generated
tremendous buzz, premiering at SEMA as the lead vehicle in the Sony
Exhibit, being featured in the Dodge Exhibit at numerous auto shows,
and earning a ton a magazine coverage. A steady stream of Mopar
Enthusiasts began calling in asking if there were any Super Trucks
left, eager to put down pre-build deposits. Now that the build have
been authorized to begin, we dont expect that the remainder of the
100 unit build to last very long. It takes approximately 12 weeks to
build and deliver a Mr. Norms Super Truck (NST). With the 08
production run ending in late April, the most owners should have
their truck just in time for the summer driving season.
The first step is to contact a build advisor at Show Your Auto LLC
to choose your colors and options. Most buyers will likely opt for a
4X2 standard cab set-up, but you can get your Super Truck in a Quad
Cab and 4X4 if you choose. You can also add any available factory
option available on the 2008 Ram 1500 SLT. NST Package Includes, all
the factory SLT and Sport package equipment, factory 20" x 9.0"
Aluminum Chrome Clad Wheels, classic 1970 Super Bee style Graphics
w/ Mr. Norm's Logo, Viper Ram Hood with integrated Scoop, Billet
Fuel Door w/Mr. Norm's Logo, Simulated Chrome Hood Pins & Lanyards,
Mr. Norm's Windshield Banner, Custom Tri-Tone Leather Bucket Seat
Interior w/ Mr. Norms Logo embroidered on Headrests, Mr. Norm's
Serial Number Plate with Signature, and THE RIGHT TO RESERVE A 2009
MR. NORM'S SRT-8 SUPER CHALLENGER. This top-quality high content
package is reasonably priced at $6,750. The only other factory
installed NST option is the Viper Ram front fascia, which includes
the complete under tray and operational brake ducts.
Originally, the Super Truck was to be offered in stock color choices
with custom stripes, Electric Blue with Black Stripes, Electric Blue
with White Stripes, and Silver with Black Stripes. People were
screaming for the concept truck color, Screaming Hemi Orange, Mr.
Norm stepped up and added a Show Paint option. This would add some
time to the build, and at $17,000 the option is not for the budget
minded. What you do get is a show quality Sherwin-Williams Planet
Color custom paint job performed by the same professionals that
painted the show truck. Even the stripes and the Super Truck logo
would be painted on and buried underneath the clear coat. For
those who really want to stand apart, even in amongst an elite class
of 100, the Show Paint option is a logical choice.
Once your NST is configured, a $1,500 deposit secures your Mr.
Norms Super Truck serial number. They are given in a strict
first-come, first served, basis. By cooperating with a single dealer
for the entire production run, we have eliminated the possibility of
the gross dealer markup weve seen pervade the market with other
limited production vehicles. Just like Mr. Norm did at Grand
Spaulding Dodge, we want to give all Mopar enthusiasts equal
opportunity. This also gives you the flexibility to finance the NST
and dispose of a trade-in in the same way you would any other new
vehicle. Every single 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 equipped with the standard
Mr. Norm's Super Truck Package is covered under the Chrysler Limited
Lifetime Powertrain Warranty.
Once the build is complete, your Super Truck courtesy shipped to
your local Dodge Dealer at no additional cost to you. They will prep
the vehicle and present your new Mr. Norms Super Truck to you.
Owning a Mr. Norms Super Truck is like holding the golden ticket.
Your serial number gets you exclusive Mr. Norms Performance Proven
upgrades and custom appearance accessories. Just like Mr. Norm did
at his dealership in the 60s, these performance enhancements can be
made directly at the dealership or other authorized installer. Mr.
Norms Performance Proven options include a 50 State Legal Kenne
Bell Supercharger that will boost the stock 5.7L Hemi rating to a
street friendly 500hp. Handling and braking can also be enhanced
courtesy of Mr. Norms Super Handling Package by Hotchkis and 14
Cross Drilled, Slotted and Ventilated 4 wheel disc brakes by ssBC.
As you can tell, only top shelf suppliers were selected for the Mr.
Norms brand. If they arent top quality and dont actually add to
the performance of the vehicle, they dont get the Performance
Proven Flying Ram. Mr. Norms objective was to offer an SRT-10
level of performance that was lighter, easier to live with
day-to-day and provided better gas mileage than the venerable Viper
powered SRT-10. It is safe to say, in this case, mission
accomplished actually means something.
Whether you choose to upgrade right away or wish to drive it a
while, any Mr. Norms Performance Proven add-on made by the first
owner will be recorded in the Mr. Norms registry as original. This
give you the flexibility to customize your truck as your needs
change.
You can be one of only 100 to own a Limited Edition Mr. Norms Super
Truck including for as low as $32,275. Even fully loaded with
available Performance Proven upgrades, a 4x2 standard cab comes to
about $42,000 before tax, title, & license with estimating cash
incentives.
If you are even thinking about buying a Mr. Norms Super Truck,
remember, once all 100 are spoken for, there will be no more.
