Several weeks ago I spoke to a woman at Chrysler who gave me the exact same production numbers for the SRT-6: 2016 coupes, 928 convertibles. She also gave me the following for the 2005 model year:
coupe convertible
BASE 1155 1524
Limited 5014 11,878
All three of the 2006 SRT6s (171, 172, 173) were on ebay for sale. All from the same dealer. The coupe was gray (I'm pretty sure, don't have my database hand at the moment), and 1 roadster was Sapphire Silver Blue, the other was Gray.
A couple of months ago I spoke with a 'Mike' at Chrysler HQ. I had a lot of questions regarding SRT6 production and breakdowns that nobody else w/Chrysler could answer. He said he did not have exact production numbers yet, but they would eventually be posted at SRTforums.com, along with prod data for the other SRT models. He also assured me that the production figures were 'very close' and that there were no 2006 SRT6s.
Fast forward a month. A 2006 SRT6 roadster pops up on ebay. Sure enough the 10th VIN digit was a 6 (one of our forum members bought it, I think his name is McCombcliff?). Anyway, I sent another scathing email through Chrysler.com about being told there were no 2006 SRT6s and how there is one for sale on ebay. By the time I got a call back from Chrysler, there had been 3 2006 SRT6s on ebay, all from the same dealer in PA (I think). When I got the call back, it was Mike again. I went on and on about how it was supposed to be a 2005 model year car only, etc. He said that they were never going to sell the 2006s that they had since they were test mules of some sort (Not sure what he meant by test cars or test mules), but someone decided to sell them. He did tell me that there were very few of them.
I would bet that the 2006 SRT6s were not built in 2006, but late in 2005. Not for sure though.
I have a large database of SRT6s that I have been collecting over the past couple of months. I'm up to ~340 now. I track the last 6 digits of the VIN, color, model year, and whether it is a coupe or roadster. So far myself, and anyone else I know who is looking, has only seen the 3 2006 SRT6s listed above.
That's all I know so far.
