I think this car was posted here before. Only, I think they removed some of the stripes at the front of the car. Or .....its totally not the car.😁
A better bargain than just an engine for sure.

Might not be 1000HP but you can get the whole package (Charger + 5.7L Hemi)* here: feeBay 254215448061* - Assuming that's really a Hemi in there...But I've already got a non-Rallye, non-R/T, non-Super Bee, flat hood Charger. It wouldn't cost $33,000+ to put it in the same condition as that one, and it wouldn't have the questionable graphics.

Hmmm...the world's first 1000HP Hellephant powered Chrysler Cordoba...I like the sound of that!

My son told me that...couldn't believe it. Allpar is guessing the initial run of these engines might only be 100 units, but that's just a guess.
That's a very quick way to add $3M in sales in just a couple of days!

I did not think those would sell out on the first batch....wow. I know I said I would like to have one, but I wouldn't know what to do with it(handling wise). My car would have to be restructured in every aspect to support that beast. Then, where would I use that kind of power? Would have to rent a track or go out to Montana to run it wide open. I would love to see one up close on a track one day.

I'm not surprised it sold out, it produces (early) Veyron power stock for 30k, and Dodge has done a brilliant job marketting themselves with the Hellcat and Demon. They are selling more old Challengers than Chevy is selling new Camaros. The "new" Challenger has been around forever and Dodge is still moving them like a new model, when does that happen? Definitely a "teachable moment" for those doubting the value of halo cars.
I imagine most will go to either a few rich posers with more money than sense, or some kind of off-road competition use. Like hanks73340 said, you can't just drop this in a car without extensive supporting mods, and you'd have to be a great driver to handle 1000hp on the street without all the electronic nanny devices modern cars have. The video where Doug Demuro nearly loses a Hellcat comes to mind - and that car is down 300hp from the Hellephant and, I presume, has traction and stability control? I think the amount of time I would spend maintaining the skills to drive 1000hp is more than it's worth. Still glad to know it's out there though.
