Two Rare Dodge Challenger Hellcat Convertibles Headline Carlisle Auctions

Two 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody Jailbreak Convertibles, including a rare Plum Crazy edition, hit the auction block.


Two highly sought-after 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody Jailbreak Convertibles are set to cross the auction block at Carlisle Auctions, offering enthusiasts a rare chance to own modern Mopar muscle with a factory-sanctioned convertible conversion.

Both Hellcat convertibles were customized through Dodge’s partnership with Drop Top Customs, one of only 530 Challenger convertibles authorized for modification. Each model features a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, aggressive widebody flares, and premium interior finishes that enhance both luxury and performance.

The first Challenger, finished in Destroyer Gray, is equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, making it one of the rare few Hellcat convertibles to retain a traditional stick shift. Featuring the Customer Preferred Package 25C, it comes loaded with widebody flares, a competition suspension, Alcantara/Laguna leather seats, and a premium Harman Kardon audio system. Other unique touches include Demonic Red seat belts and floor mat binding, an Alcantara steering wheel with a red LED logo, and Carbon Black Warp-Speed wheels.

The second Challenger, finished in Plum Crazy Purple, is powered by a 717-horsepower supercharged V8 paired with a TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission. This model, featuring Customer Preferred Package 26C, includes Laguna leather seats, a Devil’s Rim Granite wheel package, remote start, an SRT Alcantara steering wheel, and a factory-installed SRT Performance Spoiler. It has also been treated with ceramic coating, tinted windows, and Mopar hood pins, adding to its exclusivity.

With the Challenger’s production ending in 2023, these convertibles represent some of the last of their kind, blending extreme horsepower with open-top driving. As Dodge transitions toward electrification, these final-generation Hellcat models are expected to become even more desirable among collectors.

Carlisle Auctions is offering bidders the opportunity to take home a piece of modern Mopar history. With both cars boasting unique specifications, muscle car fans are expected to show strong interest in these ultra-rare convertibles.
