  • The Mopar craze has hit the shop hard. Carrington is elbow deep into the Dodge Demon rebuild. And, well, we keep having to buy more Dodge Hellcats to supply it parts. When you but a Dodge Demon that needs one of everything for a rebuild. Well, it takes a lot of Dodge Hellcats to replace all those parts.
    This particular Dodge Hellcat was purchased on a very unique day for a great price. A great price that hinges on it actually running and driving. This Dodge Hellcat was purchased from insurance auction. You never know what you might get when buying a none running Dodge Hellcat from insurance auction. But, its time to find out!
