Flooded New Dodge Demon 170 Set To Auction
Read the full story on The Auto Wire For many, the Dodge Demon 170 is far out of their financial reach. Not only did Dodge price it with a starting MSRP of $96,666 (clever number, right?) many dealers have famously gouged shoppers wanting to own the most powerful production Mopar muscle car in existence. So this might be a chance to get one for a non-insane price, although the future viability of the Demon 1470 is incorrectly on Copart as a 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye, this car at minimum will be a sought after source of parts. After all, the Demons of both generations have certain components you can't get on any other Mopar. Plus, with ownership of the vehicle, you can order parts from Dodge that other Dodge owners can't. You're not just buying this muscle car, you're also paying for the VIN. That alone could positively impact the final bid. If you look at the photos included on the Copart website, it looks like this Dodge Challenger Demon 170 is still wearing at least some of the delivery wraps. Also, the very obvious yellow splitter guard is still present, although some guys keeps those on their car indefinitely. But it appears this muscle car is brand new, perhaps with delivery miles on it or slightly more than that. That bad news is from the interior it sure looks like the thing spent some time completely underwater. Because of that, the onboard electronics are questionable. But the big question is can those be repaired/replaced and other parts of the muscle car reconditioned so this thing can still be usable for the long run? If not, then it might become a parts car and/or resource for the new owner to order parts not available to non-Demon 170 owners. Just how much would you bid on this Dodge Challenger Demon 170? Bidding hasn't opened yet and Copart hasn't said when it starts. But we think a lot of people are going to at least be watching when bidding does begin. See the lot listing for yourself here.

Dodge Recalls All Demon 170 Muscle Cars
Read the full story on The Auto Wire If you or someone you know owns a Dodge Challenger Demon 170, listen up. Each and everyone last one has been recalled recently for a problem you probably haven't heard about. But you'd know if it strikes your muscle car because it results in a sudden loss of power, misfiring, disappointing for anyone who paid a premium to get the Demon 170 since it's first and foremost a powerhouse. In the past, Dodge has instructed dealer service departments to re-gap all the spark plugs on any vehicle that's experiencing these problems, as revealed by YouTuber Butter Da Insider. After almost a year of telling service departments to re-gap spark plugs, now Dodge is issuing a recall for the Demon 170. It's directing dealers to just replace all the spark plugs in every last one of the high-powered muscle cars. As part of the free recall work, Dodge is providing dealers with repair kits that contain the new spark plugs gapped at the correct spec. In the recall, the automaker says the factory plugs might have bee gapped too high, causing misfires. In some cases, the Demon 170's check engine light has illuminated thanks to this spark plug issue. That's usually a stressful thing to see, especially on a high-performance cars. Also, in some limited instances some spark plugs were seized inside Demo 170 engines. If a dealership charged a customer to free those plugs, Dodge is willing to refund that money to the owner, says Butter Da Insider. That's a nice gesture since some automakers won't go back and refund work performed thanks to something that was later recalled, even though they should. It's crazy to think Dodge has to replace all 16 spark plugs in every single Demon 170 ever made, which is over 3,000 cars. But that's better than the company just acting like everything is fine and letting owners deal with misfires and figuring out the fix themselves.
