Auction Website Selling Stolen and Recovered Dodge Demon With 4,000 Miles on the Clock

Mind you, it's not the mighty Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170, which came out almost two years ago boasting an incredible amount of power, but its predecessor, which lacks the '170' suffix and is less powerful.

Introduced at the 2017 New York Auto Show, this model stayed in production for around one year, and only 3,300 units came out during that time. It's hard to say how many of them have withstood the test of time, as we know of a few that have been crashed beyond repair. Fortunately, the one presented here is ready to hit the road again with minimal intervention.

At the time of writing, this 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon was still waiting for its title. The vendor listed the front fascia as the primary damage, and we can see that its apron has minor damage. There might be other issues with it, as the estimated repair cost is just under $10,000. Once finished, the car should be worth almost $163,000, as per the ad.

It's also said to have been stolen and then recovered, and fortunately, it doesn't seem to have any parts missing, as is often the case. The body panels are on deck, the interior seems to be complete, and it even has a key, as revealed in the photo gallery. More importantly, the modified Hellcat motor still lies under the hood, and this muscle car has covered only 4,000 miles (~6,400 km) since it left the assembly line some six years ago.

Dodge quoted a whopping 770 pound-feet (1,044 Nm) of torque for the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon in its top configuration. Its 6.2L supercharged V8 engine was good for 840 horsepower (852 ps/627 kW). On a good day, it can run the quarter mile in nine seconds and takes only 2.3 seconds to deal with 0-60 mph (97 kph). The Demon 170 has up to 1,025 hp (1,040 ps/765 kW), needs 1.66s to reach sixty mph, and needs 8.91 seconds to complete the 1/4-mile sprint from a standing start.

This 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is located in Fontana, CA, and we'd recommend seeing it in person, if possible, before trying to purchase it. The car will go under the gavel as part of an online auction that has yet to be assigned, and we reckon it might fetch over $100k. However, if you were shopping for a Demon, how much would you pay for this one, knowing that it has some issues and was stolen and recovered?
