    A 2023 Challenger SRT HELLCAT Jailbreak Redeye Black Ghost H1000 is being auctioned at Bring a Trailer.


    Plaques in the cabin and engine bay identify it as Serial No. 001 for the Hennessey H1000 (1,000 hp.) package. With just 604 miles showing on the odometer, this is not just another low-mileage Last Call Challenger. It is a factory limited-edition car that has been turned into a four-figure-horsepower street machine.

    The highest bid sits at $93,000 and counting. That is inching closer to the MSRP of the model, which kicked off at roughly $100,000 back in 2023. This car stickered at $100,865. However, you should by no means be surprised if the seller expects far more than sticker, because such models often hit $190,000 on the used car market.

    The auction ends on July 8, 2026.

    Up to $98,275 now. Nice car, can't say I care for the DODGE on the front end or the spoiler guard. Personally, I think the lettering on it takes away from the look of the front end. I can't afford it, so my opinion doesn't matter anyway.

    Me, too. I am very happy with my 2009 SRT. It's 425 hp. is more than enough power for the street. Anything over 500 hp. belongs solely on the track.

    I feel the same way about my 2023 Scat, more than enough power for me.

    I wouldn't spend my money on that fluff..

    Let's take a look at the black ghost, Really! A fable told by stoned people in the 1970's of some guy driving around in a hemi challenger and FCA goes along with it for some sales.

    Not a myth. The 1970 Black Ghost Challenger was real.

    It was owned by Godfrey Qualls, a Detroit motorcycle traffic cop. The car was an R/T/SE model with a 426 HEMI (1 of 22). It had the Super Track Pack/Sure-Grip Dana 60 with a 4.10 rear. It also had a 4-speed, no mufflers, an aftermarket ignition coil and drag slicks.

    This Challenger would go from 0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds and do the 1/4 mile in 12.78 sec. These times were blazing fast for a street car in 1970.
