A Pair of Matching Dodge Challenger SRT Demons Heads to Auction Soon, if You're Into That
A Pair of Matching Dodge Challenger SRT Demons Heads to Auction Soon, if You're Into That-October 2024

Have you ever dreamed of having not one, but two, big, overpriced , so powerful that somebody had to sign off on their potential danger upon buying them? Maybe one for yourself and one for your significant other, or one for yourself and another one for yourself?

Well, you’re in luck. Two are heading to auction with Mecum later this month as a pair, with an estimated sale price of between $250,000 and whatever some other wealthy person is willing to pay.

Mecum calls the “The SRT Demon Offering,” which sounds slightly satanic and highly terrifying. Look, Mecum, we know , but let’s not make any rash decisions on blood sacrifices or anything. Everybody needs time to think on those before they go through with them.

Aside from the disturbing subliminal messages, someone out there is probably willing to pay quite a bit for the Demon pair. They’ve got a factory-rated 1,680 horsepower combined with their supercharged Hemi V8s, and Dodge only made 3,300 of the street-legal drag cars before stopping production and finding a way to on its other models to keep demand high on both.

The Demon’s base MSRP was reasonable on the supercar spectrum at $84,995, but most didn’t go for anywhere near that. Dealers put on their meager inventories with , and the —most Demons hover at or under $200,000 each, but some owners have listed theirs for .

The Demon, essentially, became a prime social experiment for the question of, “How many people will pay way too much for a Dodge?”

The Mecum listing said these two Demons each still have the plastic on them from the dealer, and, as you could probably tell from the burning feeling in your eyes, they also still have on. One of the cars has 43 miles on it and the other has 77, according to the listing, which is higher than some of the listed with single digits on the odometer.

But that’s only a few extra miles, and someone’s going to go home soon with two identically terrifying production cars. Maybe they’ll use them to challenge people straight up at the drag strip. Maybe they won’t let anyone touch them, and will instead decide whether they feel like a red hood or a matte-black hood each day. Maybe they’re just for Instagram. Maybe a couple will buy the cars, in a show of affection for each other and American muscle. Maybe somebody will just drive one and hang the second as home decor. It .

Either way, here’s hoping they .

And in the meantime, all the rest of us can dream about more reasonable pairs we could find happiness in buying—a nice pair of shoes, a pair of sunglasses we don’t break immediately, actual pears. You know, stuff we can really splurge on.

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...
