Last Dodge Viper and Challenger SRT Demon To Auction
By Dave Ashton
The last ever Dodge Viper and Challenger SRT Demon to be ever built will go to auction as a bundle at Barrett-Jackson Northeast, June 20-23 2018 in Mohegan Sun Resort, Uncasville, Connecticut with proceeds going to the United Way charity organization. The red (paint code LRN) with black Alcantara interior 2017 Viper GTS and same makeup red Demon mark the end for two incredible muscle machines and arguably the start of the next generation of what’s to come in the muscle car world.
The last Demon is yet to be built, but both vehicles have exclusive badging and specific VIN documentation with one-off memorabilia to come with both vehicles. The vehicles come together as a package with a total of 1,485 horsepower, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon’s 6.2L Hemi 840 hp supercharged V8 and the Viper with a 8.4L V10 at 645 hp. As a package both vehicles represent landmarks in American automotive achievement with the Viper having a 25 year track record, breaking numerous track records and the Demon being the only factory street legal production drag car and representing the pinnacle of modern muscle cars.
‘An avid collector could search a lifetime to try to put two vehicles of this pedigree together and never find it, it’s that elusive,’ – Steve Beahm, Head of Passenger Car Brands, Dodge/SRT, Chrysler,FIAT, FCA North America. ‘Pairing the last Dodge Challenger SRT Demon and the Dodge Viper production cars – two of America’s most sought-after vehicles – under the roof of Barrett-Jackson gives someone the ‘last’ chance to own this unique piece of automotive history, and Dodge//SRT the opportunity to raise money for a cause close to our hearts.’
The Challenger SRT Demon is limited to 3,300 units, 3000 to the US and 300 to Canada for one production year. The Demon will include an exclusive Viper Red exterior color along with other standouts including Rear seat delete, Trunk carpet kit, Custom Demon car cover, VIN instrument panel badge, Demon Authentication package (build sheets and Certicard) and Demon Crate. The Viper is the last one of production from the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant, Detroit in fall 2017 and is styled after the first-generation Dodge Viper RT/10 (VIN ending in 731948) in 1992 with exterior carbon fiber accents, black Alcantara leather seats and exclusive VIN instrument panel badge and kit.
In 2015, the first Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat VIN0001 helped to raise $1.65 Million for charity, the most in Barrett-Jackson history, which means this Dodge bundle “The Ultimate Last Chance” will surely gain lots of attention not just for its exclusive package, but also for how much it can raise for a worthwhile charity.
Registration is open until May 28th 2018 for these two fine specimens.
