In a move that now seems to be par for the course, Dodge auctioned Challenger Hellcat serial number 0001 at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada through Barrett-Jackson for charity. While it was a foregone conclusion that the hammer price would be significantly higher than the $60,000 the Hellcat is priced at, the final total when it was all said and done the car sold to Rick Hendrick of Hendrick Motorsports for $825,000, or in other words, roughly fourteen times the base price of the car. Damn. And in a gesture of charity as well, Barrett-Jackson waived all bidding and consignment fees, allowing 100% of the price to go towards the fund.

As for the charity, the proceeds are going to Opportunity Village, a Las Vegas-area non-profit charity that assists intellectually-challenged individuals and their families in the southern Nevada area, helping their beneficiaries become independent, teaching work skills and aiding them in self-betterment. In addition to aides and volunteers, Opportunity Village operates a thrift store in the region. Annually, they assist over 3,000 people with needs ranging from job skills to social enrichment.

Challenger Hellcat #0001 is a Torqueflite-equipped version with a one-off hand-painted Stryker Red paint job, a color normally reserved for the Dodge Viper. In addition to the car, a package kit commemorating the car as VIN #0001 and a memorabilia kit are included. An iPad complete with all of the information about the car, including dyno run footage, build photographs and other media surrounding the car are included in the case the supercharger came in.
