Dodge recently confirmed that it has no plans to build a Challenger convertible, however Coach Builders Ltd. has every intention to chop the top off the muscle car offering Challenger lovers some fun in the sun. Coach Builders will show their version of the Dodge Challenger convertible at the 2008 SEMA Auto Show alongside their Cadillac CTS and Chrysler 300C drop tops.

How much will it cost to drop the top on your Challenger? According to boss Larry Moran, Coach Builders will start taking orders on Nov. 15 with pricing set at $16,000. So that means you’ll be paying $58,000 if you want an open-air 2009 Challenger SRT8.

The SEMA car will get a Vortech supercharger that gives the 6.1 liter HEMI V8 a total of 560-hp with a maximum torque of 510 lb-ft. It’s been slightly lowered with a KW coil-over suspension kit and 22-inch Foose Challenger wheels

    will Coach make a return car for 2009 or are they letting other companies finish their cars and take credit instead? Coach seems to be out of the spotlight this year, can they pull of something wild yet practical too?

    When do we hear from them?
