Is This Sinister Hellcat Part Of Your Future? Seller Seeks $300,000!

vinhellcat01When the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat was announced, it was the fastest production musclecar in history. That title was very short lived, as the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat bested the Challenger by a mere five miles per hour top speed, and .2 seconds in the quarter mile. To top it all off, as Ford and Chevy fans claimed the Challenger was too heavy, the Charger was even able to take that away from it’s sibling by weighing in at 100 pounds more.

vinhellcat05So what else has the fastest sedan on the planet done to beat it’s own sibling? We’ve spotted that next achievement on eBay, as one private owner of a 2015 Charger Hellcat is seeking the highest price to date for his low-mileage kitty. Granted, the very first production Hellcat was auctioned off for charity at Barrett-Jackson last fall, there hasn’t been a sale of a privately owned Hellcat Challenger that even comes close to this black on black Hellcat Charger. The seller is seeking $300,666 for his unique beast, counting on one little detail to push this car to a record price with just 48 miles on the odometer.

Why so much and such an odd price? The owner is seeking to cash in on what he deems to be a unique VIN for his Charger, saying it is “Highly collectible as this is the only hellcat with a VIN ending in 666.” The number 666, as noted in the Book of Revelation, is said to be “the mark of the beast” and for a long time hexakosioihexekontahexaphobiacs have feared anything adorned with that number. Counting on the hype, the seller is hoping to gain from the notoriety in the hopes that someone will see the value of having a Charger Hellcat sharing the beastly number.

vinhellcat02Will the price be met? We’d have to say that if anyone feels that the unique VIN/Hellcat combo is worth over $200,000 more than any other Hellcat Charger, have fun with your little bit of trivia. Short of plastering the mark of the beast on the side of the car, nobody would ever know it until the new owner shares that tidbit of information – and even then he would have to take the brunt of the jokes when people respond, “you paid over $300,000 just for that?” Well, maybe if he drives it for another 618 miles then unplugs the odometer, then the circle will be complete.
