This 956-Mile Dodge Demon 170 Is A 1,025-HP Last-Call ThunderboltA nearly new example of Dodge's most outrageous production car is looking for its next caretaker. This 956-mile 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170, offered through Hagerty Marketplace, combines four-digit horsepower, a sinister Granite Pearl Coat finish, and the kind of scarcity that made the final chapter of the Hemi-powered Challenger unforgettable.The Ultimate "Last Call" ChallengerDodge could have sent the Challenger into retirement with a commemorative badge and a tasteful paint package. Instead, it built a street-legal drag car with 1,025 horsepower.The Demon 170's supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V8 uses a larger 3.0-liter supercharger and fuel-system upgrades to deliver its headline output on E85 ethanol. Fill it with ordinary E10 gasoline and it still produces a staggering 900 horsepower. A TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic routes that power to the rear wheels, while TransBrake 2.0 and a set of model-specific Mickey Thompson drag radials help turn the violence under the hood into forward motion.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe official numbers remain difficult to process: 0-60 mph in 1.66 seconds, an NHRA-certified 8.91-second quarter-mile at 151.17 mph, and peak acceleration of 2.004 g. The "170" badge is a nod to the 170-proof rating of E85, but it also became shorthand for the wildest factory-built Challenger of them all.Dodge capped planned production at 3,000 cars for the United States and 300 for Canada. That limited run, combined with the end of Challenger production after 2023, gives the Demon 170 significance beyond its straight-line performance. It is both a technical statement and a full-throttle farewell to an era.A Carefully Specified, Low-Mile ExampleThis car's Granite Pearl Coat finish is restrained by Demon standards, allowing the Air-Grabber hood, widebody stance, and staggered 17- and 18-inch wheels to do the talking. Inside, Black and Demonic Red Laguna leather seats add color without overwhelming the cabin.The equipment list is unusually livable for something capable of an eight-second pass. Heated and ventilated front seats, an 8.4-inch touchscreen, and an 18-speaker audio system with a subwoofer are all present. Demon-specific hardware includes the drag-tuned suspension, four-piston brakes, SRT Performance spoiler, and Power Chiller system, which uses the air-conditioning circuit to cool the supercharger after a run.AdvertisementAdvertisementWith only 956 indicated miles, the car has covered just enough ground to prove it is more than a static display piece. The sale also includes its window sticker and owner's manual, while a clean CARFAX report and clean Florida title add confidence. Hagerty Marketplace says the car is being offered on dealer consignment from the Burnyzz Collection of August vehicles.The Market Still Recognizes The Demon 170The live bid stood at $100,000 on August 24, with the auction scheduled to close Thursday, August 27, at 2:40 p.m. EDT. That figure is only a snapshot, of course, and the final hours are when serious auction action often arrives.Hagerty Valuation Tools currently places a 2023 Demon 170 in #3 "good" condition at $126,000. Hagerty's recorded public sales also show how mileage and presentation can move the result: a 1,700-mile car sold for $125,475 in June 2026, while a 281-mile example brought $143,850 the same month. The most recent sale displayed by the tool was $139,650 on July 1.The data also helps put the Demon 170 beside its 2018 predecessor. Hagerty lists a #3-condition value of $91,900 for the 840-hp 2018 SRT Demon, with two June 2026 sales at $98,175 and $111,300. Those are serious numbers, but the premium commanded by many Demon 170s reflects the later car's extra 185 horsepower, greater rarity, and position as the last—and most extreme—factory Challenger.AdvertisementAdvertisementValues can vary substantially with mileage, condition, specification, documentation, and timing, so no guide figure guarantees an auction result. Still, the available evidence shows that collectors continue to treat the Demon 170 as something more important than a used late-model muscle car.A Four-Digit-Horsepower Time CapsuleThe Demon 170 arrived at a moment when Dodge was closing the book on a 15-year Challenger run and turning toward an electrified future. Rather than soften the goodbye, the company distilled everything enthusiasts loved about the modern Challenger—noise, theater, excess, and unapologetic speed—into one final model.This Granite Pearl car makes a particularly appealing case. It is low-mileage without being delivery-mile sterile, extravagantly powerful without wearing an extravagant color, and equipped well enough to enjoy away from the drag strip. For a collector who wants the definitive modern Mopar with its story still largely unwritten, this Demon 170 looks ready to deliver.Photo credit: Hagerty Marketplace.AdvertisementAdvertisement⚡️ Read the full article on MotoriousSign up for the Motorious Newsletter.
