Flooded New Dodge Demon 170 Set To Auction

For many, the Dodge Demon 170 is far out of their financial reach. Not only did Dodge price it with a starting MSRP of $96,666 (clever number, right?) many dealers have famously gouged shoppers wanting to own the most powerful production Mopar muscle car in existence. So this might be a chance to get one for a non-insane price, although the future viability of the Demon 1470 is questionable.

Using your adaptive cruise control might be setting you up for a crash.

Listed incorrectly on Copart as a 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye, this car at minimum will be a sought after source of parts. After all, the Demons of both generations have certain components you can’t get on any other Mopar.

Plus, with ownership of the vehicle, you can order parts from Dodge that other Dodge owners can’t. You’re not just buying this muscle car, you’re also paying for the VIN. That alone could positively impact the final bid.

If you look at the photos included on the Copart website, it looks like this Dodge Challenger Demon 170 is still wearing at least some of the delivery wraps. Also, the very obvious yellow splitter guard is still present, although some guys keeps those on their car indefinitely.

But it appears this muscle car is brand new, perhaps with delivery miles on it or slightly more than that.

That bad news is from the interior it sure looks like the thing spent some time completely underwater. Because of that, the onboard electronics are questionable. But the big question is can those be repaired/replaced and other parts of the muscle car reconditioned so this thing can still be usable for the long run?

If not, then it might become a parts car and/or resource for the new owner to order parts not available to non-Demon 170 owners.

Just how much would you bid on this Dodge Challenger Demon 170? Bidding hasn’t opened yet and Copart hasn’t said when it starts. But we think a lot of people are going to at least be watching when bidding does begin.
