While Dodge retired the old Challenger a few months ago, replacing it with the more modern Charger duo (coupe and sedan) that offers ICE and EV power, numerous copies of the old muscle car are still on sale, with only delivery miles under their belts.
This is why the automaker still lists the old Challenger and Charger on its official website in the United States. It's unknown how many brand-new examples are still in dealer lots nationwide, but we reckon this might be a good time to get a great deal on one—assuming you still have a thing for this muscle car.

If your budget allows it, then you should look no further than the Hellcat models. Dodge has made quite a few of them over the years, with the Demon and, more recently, the Demon 170 topping them all in power and performance. The devilish muscle car puts up to 1,025 hp (1,040 ps/765 kW) under the driver's right foot in its top configuration, taking 1.66s to 60 mph (97 kph).

A Redeye or a regular Hellcat are almost as exciting in a straight-line sprint. Truth be told, you won't need the Demon 170's neck-snapping power to enjoy the best of this series, as all of them pack a whining V8 under their hoods, with a 6.2L displacement and just a little over 700 horsepower deployed to the rear wheels in the most humble ones.

Now, most petrolheads would be more than satisfied with a Hellcat. Some would gladly pick a V8-powered, non-Hellcat model and call it a dream machine, and we wouldn't argue with their logic. After all, all muscle cars are great as long as they have an eight-cylinder engine under their hoods. However, the one pictured in the gallery doesn't even have a hood, let alone a V8, and it's still looking for a new home.

It's a 2021 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye, as mentioned in the title, which was stripped to the bone for unknown reasons. Everything was likely sold for profit, including that sonorous V8, leaving just the empty shell, which is advertised by the automotive hall of fame called Copart. The listing doesn't say much about it, other than the estimated retail value of a pristine copy, which is just over $83,500.

You can find this one in Philadelphia as part of an upcoming lot that will hit the online gavel at an undisclosed date. Between us, we don't know why anyone would buy it unless they have all the missing components packed in boxes and ready to be installed. Guess this shell could serve as the basis for a crashed Challenger Hellcat. But would you ever spend your money on such a thing? And if so, what would your cap be?
