2021 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T

The auction record identifies this vehicle as having a salvage title and lists FRONT END as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has severe damage across the front end. The hood is extensively buckled, folded, and sharply creased across its full width, including around the center scoop. The front bumper, grille, fascia, and visible front lighting assemblies are missing, leaving the radiator area, wiring, brackets, reinforcement, and other internal components exposed. The front reinforcement and adjacent lower structure are visibly bent and deformed. Both front corners are affected. The right front corner has crushed body panels, exposed internal components, and hanging wiring. The left front fender is heavily crushed and folded around the wheel opening. The right front door and fender, as well as the left front door, have visible dents and creases. Both exterior mirrors are displaced, with surrounding bodywork damage also visible. The driver and front passenger airbags are deployed. The extent of the visible damage indicates that the vehicle requires comprehensive inspection and repair, including checks of the front structure, cooling and electrical systems, suspension and steering components, restraint systems, and alignment. The photographs alone do not establish the vehicle’s mechanical condition, hidden damage, or whether deployed safety systems have been properly repaired.
