Despite being old, Dodge's Hellcat series remains a thief magnet. We've all seen videos of Challengers and Chargers disappearing from parking lots in less than sixty seconds, and the pictured muscly sedan had that happen to it at one point.
By the time it was recovered, it was already too beaten up to be worth saving hence the non-repairable title in Texas. But if you feel you can make a quick buck off the remaining components and you're not afraid of a little elbow grease, you should know it's for sale.
Several parts can be sold for cash, and that includes its heart and soul, which is that powerful supercharged 6.2-liter V8. When it left the factory floor some eight years ago, it produced 707 horsepower (717 ps/527 kW) and 650 pound-feet (881 Nm) of torque. In perfect conditions, the 2015 Charger SRT Hellcat needed 3.4 seconds to sprint to 60 mph (97 kph) and had a top speed of 204 mph (328 kph). Thus, supercars such as the Lamborghini Huracan were no match for it, assuming the driver could handle that much thrust available via the right pedal.
The HEMI V8 is the most expensive part that can be sold, and such mills usually fetch around $20,000 in today's market, more or less depending on their overall state and how many miles the cars they once powered clocked over the years. And besides the engine, the future owner of this potent four-door Dodge can also sell the suspension, brakes, most body panels bar those at the front, and a good chunk of the interior, including the dashboard, gauges, and steering wheel. The seats are missing, so they probably already found new homes during the time the car was AWOL, and in the end, the empty shell might bring in additional Benjamins to its future owner.
The value of this Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is estimated at nearly $55,000 in the ad on iaai, though that's more likely for an example that doesn't require any amount of work before it can hit the road again. That said, depending on how much interest it sparks when it goes under the gavel at a yet-undisclosed date online, it should fetch far less than that. The car, or what's left of it, can be found in Dallas, Texas, and if you're in the neighborhood, you should take a closer look at it in person to know what to expect. Who knows, maybe you'll spot something that no one else does to boost your confidence that you can make a decent amount of money if you buy it and sell it for parts. But how much would you spend on it if you were in this business?
