Stetler Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram, a York-based dealership, has announced its plan to auction off a 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170, the “most powerful Challenger in history,” with proceeds going to the York County Food Bank.
This muscle car, a pinnacle of automotive engineering, boasts a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine capable of producing 1,025 horsepower on E85 fuel. It rockets from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 1.66 seconds, setting it apart in the world of high-performance vehicles.
With only 3,300 units manufactured, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 is a rare gem that’s been fetching prices well above its MSRP of $98,261 due to its unparalleled power and limited availability. Recognizing the vehicle’s significant market value and potential for profit, John Giambalvo, President and CEO of the Jack Giambalvo Family of Dealerships, envisioned a more meaningful outcome for the sale of this coveted car.
Instead of merely capitalizing on the muscle car’s desirability, Giambalvo proposed auctioning the dealership’s Challenger SRT Demon 170 and donating the proceeds that exceed the MSRP to charity. Employees of the Jack Giambalvo Family of Dealerships voted to support the York County Food Bank, a decision that aligns with the dealership’s commitment to community service and charitable work.
The auction, set to take place on the popular automotive auction website bringatrailer.com in March or early April, promises not only to highlight the incredible capabilities of the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 but also to raise significant funds for the York County Food Bank. This unique approach to selling a highly sought-after vehicle exemplifies how businesses can leverage their resources and influence to benefit the community, turning the excitement around a muscle car into much-needed support for those facing food insecurity.
With the auction drawing near, car enthusiasts and philanthropists alike are eagerly awaiting the chance to own a piece of automotive history while contributing to a noble cause, proving that the power of generosity can match even the most powerful Challenger in history.
