Plum Crazy Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 goes to auction on Cars and Bids

Low-mile Plum Crazy Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 hits Cars and Bids. Last Call HEMI, 1,025 hp, #94/3300; $90k high bid vs $450k record hints at cooled demand.

When Dodge built just 3,300 Challenger SRT Demon 170s, a gold rush felt inevitable. The final HEMI muscle car, the closing note of an era — a perfect lure for collectors and speculators. Now comes another case in point: a 2023 Demon 170 with only 1,261 miles (2,029 km) on the clock has landed on the Cars and Bids auction block.

Finished in the rare Plum Crazy shade, this Last Call car is number 94 of 3,300. The owner kept use to a minimum, stored it in a garage, and protected it with PPF. The blemishes are minor: scuffs beneath the splitter and some scratches at the rear.

Under the hood sits the legendary 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V8, rated at 1,025 hp and 1,281 Nm on E85. It sprints to 97 km/h in 1.66 seconds and covers the quarter mile in 8.91 seconds — so quick that the NHRA won’t let it on track without a roll cage and a parachute.

The car launched with an MSRP of $96,666, but demand sent prices skyward, with dealers adding markups in the 150,000–200,000 range. An ultra-rare Panther Pink Demon — one of 40 Jailbreak variants — sold this spring for $450,000, a record for the model. The Plum Crazy car isn’t matching that heat: five days from the hammer, the high bid sits at $90,000, which is $32,000 below its original purchase and hundreds of thousands short of the record. The frenzy, it seems, is meeting reality; not every Demon is a guaranteed gold mine.

The Demon 170 may be the high-water mark of the muscle-car era, yet the market has grown picky. Ultra-rare colors still command big money, while the more “regular” specs are drifting back to earth. This auction reads like a litmus test for where Last Call pricing heads next.
