First Production 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat to be Auctioned

15-la-ex-04

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is the most powerful and fastest muscle car ever built.  Any muscle car fan has to be drooling in anticipation of a chance to get their hands on and/or try the Challenger SRT for themselves.  On September 27th, Dodge will be giving one lucky person the chance to drive away in a one-of-a-kind Challenger.

The Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas 2014 Auction is happening during September 25th thru the 27th.  On the final day of the auction, Dodge is putting up a special treat: The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.  It will not be just any old Challenger Hellcat, but the first VIN number.  That’s right, a 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat with the VIN number 0001 could be yours.

“The 2015 Challenger Hellcat is already guaranteed to be one of the hottest cars that will roll through the Barret-Jackson auction lanes in decades to come,” said Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO of both Dodge and SRT brands.  “The VIN 0001 being auctioned this year is the ultimate one-of-one collectible 2015 Dodge Challenger, as Dodge is ensuring there will never be another one like it.”

The auctioned off Challenger Hellcat will include plenty of extras indicating how awesome the owner is for having the first Hellcat.  There is a HEMI painted presentation box with a VIN0001 electronic vehicle build book and even a Laguna Leather iPad sleeve.  The buyer even gets a birth certificate for their bouncing, baby Challenger.

An added bonus to the auction is that the bidding and consignment fees will be waived.  That means that however much this Challenger goes for, one hundred percent of the amount will be going to Opportunity Village, a non-profit for the Las Vegas area that benefits individuals with significant intellectual disabilities.

Not only will the lucky winner get to have a one-of-a-kind Challenger SRT, but they get to know the fortune they will be handing over to get it will be going all towards a great cause.  I call that a win-win.

For the rest of us, we will continue to drool over all the pictures and footage of this new muscle car and the intense speeds it can achieve all while whispering “one day?” to anyone in ear reach.  One day 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, one day.

Special Edition Pearl White SRT Viper GTS To Be Auctioned

2013_srt_viper_f34_ns_52813_600The Sons of Italy Foundation is the charity arm of the Sons of Italy in America, also known as OSIA.  Their aim is to preserve Italian American culture and helping with the education of Italian Americans.  To that end, they just got a special one-of-a-kind SRT Viper GTS to auction off.

This is a one-off Viper GTS just for them.  It’s got a tri-coat pearl white paintjob and black vapor chrome wheels.  Inside, the colors of the Italian flag are on the seats and a GTS badge, also painted in the colors of the Italian flag, is right on the glovebox.

The Sons of Italy Foundation will be auctioning this unique and amazing vehicle at some unknown date in the future.  There’s no word yet even on what the worth is for the special Viper.  I can’t imagine that this thing is leaving the auction floor cheaply.

The fine folks at SRT even put together a YouTube video teasing the one-of-a-kind Viper:
