Hello Everyone! You are looking at a beautiful and extremely rare truck. I had to look for one of these for a very long time. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to devote any time towards making it my dream truck, with the exception of the wheels and tires. I purchased the wheels off eBay, and the tires are brand new (less than 500 miles on them). The truck is in great condition. The previous and original owner took excellent care of it (evidenced by the engine bay and interior). When I purchased it, it had the transmission issue. I've put about 1500 miles on it, including an 800 mile round trip across the Midwest. The transmission makes noise when the clutch is out, and in every gear with the exception of fourth. Some gears are worse than others. My point is this: I felt comfortable driving it a considerable distance.
Here are some pros:
-Extremely hard to find: V-8, 5-SPD manual transmission, 2WD, Regular Cab.
-Extremely clean engine bay
-Fresh oil change at 112,000
-New 255/55/17 tires (less than 500 miles)
-Interior is in excellent condition, with the exception of stains on the rear portion (close to seat) of the carpet
-Engine runs great! These 318 ci/ 5.2L V8s are known for their longevity. The previous and original owner took excellent care of this vehicle.
-Averaged 19 MPG on 800 mile road trip (this is really good considering 3.9 axle ratio)
-Limited Slip rear diff
-9.25" Chrysler rear end
-Nice throaty rumble from an aftermarket Borla cat-back exhaust (sounds really burblely when throttle is closed and slowing down!!)
-Has a really nice cover that latches in and rolls up easily.
Cons:
-Some light rust over rear wheel (visible in picture)
-Small indentations on hood (not visible in pictures)
-Transmission is making noise (not a clutch issue)
In closing, I know this beautiful truck will find a great home. If you're interested and want to know more, message me. I tried to make a video of the noise, and it was not audible over the exhaust.
Vehicle is sold AS-IS. I have made the utmost attempt to describe the vehicle in detail.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat [w/videos]
Tue, 22 Jul 2014Darrell Waltrip once said, "If the lion didn't bite the tamer every once in a while, it wouldn't be exciting." The sentiment behind that aphorism is causing my adrenal gland to wake up as Dodge and SRT drivers and engineers - somber-faced to a man - give me the track talk that will precede my driving the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT on the circuit at Portland International Raceway. PIR might not be Daytona, and the 707-horsepower Challenger Hellcat might seem tame to a legend like ol' Jaws, but there's a not-small part of me that's thinking about how hard Dodge's fire-breathing kitty might bite.
Just a few hours previous, I'd gotten behind the wheel of the Hellcat for the first time, letting its hyperbole-spitting, supercharged V8 Hemi pull me yieldingly through Portland's morning commuter traffic. Lulled into a cocky certainty by the Challenger's good manners at low speed, I drove the throttle just a hair too deep, too fast when I ran on to the highway ramp. For just an instant the rear tires were utterly drenched in torque, and the back end of the big Dodge loosened up like a drift car on a wet track. Throttle steer lives at the fleeting whim of your right foot in this car.
It was no big thing to lay off the gas and pull the Hellcat back in line as I entered the highway, but the incident did get me to thinking: What will this car do to me on a road course?
Final Dodge Demon and Dodge Viper to be auctioned off for charity
Fri, Apr 13 2018A little while ago we wrote about the Viper factory being recommissioned into a museum, that will hold the historic cars originally evicted from the Walter P. Chrysler museum. Now, what happened to the last Viper that factory built? It's getting auctioned off, in good company. Barrett-Jackson is auctioning the last 2017 Viper built, together with a 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon said to be the last Demon produced. Crossing the block in June in Uncasville, Connecticut, the pair of cars produces a total of 1,485 horsepower, of which the Demon accounts for 840 horses and the Viper for 645. Both are finished in bright Viper Red, and yes, the Demon will include the optional passenger seat. All proceeds from the sale will go to charity, to United Way. "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", said FCA's Steve Beahm. In addition to the cars, the sale will include memorabilia and a Demon Crate, which includes narrow, drag-spec front tires, performance modules and track tools. The auction is held from June 20th to 23rd. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
