![]() Like the other 299 examples, this Black Ghost also comes with a Pitch Black exterior, to go with its faux gator-skin roof graphic (to mimic the original car’s vinyl top), black hood pins, a chrome fuel cap, white trunk stripe, widebody fenders, dual air scoops for the hood, Redeye badging, rear parking sensors, dual exhaust outlets, and a set of 20” Warp-Speed wheels with Pirelli P Zero All Season tires. This is still a new car, and with a few hours still left to bid, it has already surpassed its MSRP by a considerable margin, so no surprise there. Today, we want to show you yet another Black Ghost, this time one that has been driven a tiny bit, but the mileage figure is still rather insignificant at 104 miles. That’s more than you’d spend on a 2024 Porsche 911 GT3, which retails from $185,850. It ended up selling at auction for $190,000. ![]() The modern-day Black Ghost is based on the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody, and since the carmaker won’t be making more than 300 units, you can understand why these are already beginning to go up in value.īack in September, we showed you this brand spanking new Black Ghost with just 13 miles on the clock. ![]() We’re here to talk about the Black Ghost, which is meant to pay tribute to Godfrey Qualls’ iconic 1970 Challenger R/T SE – a car that became a legend on the streets of Detroit many decades ago. And since not all Hellcats are created equal, the likes of the Demon and the Black Ghost special edition definitely stand out in a crowd of supercharged monsters. Those four are the only ones that I can think of right now, with the exception of Dodge’s Hellcat-powered Challengers. Maybe the S550 Mustang Bullitt and the Shelby GT350R too. Same goes for the Yenko S/C Stage 2 Camaro. The Shelby GT500 Heritage Edition should fetch a pretty penny decades from now. Those that do, would need to be mint condition cars, obviously, with little to no mileage on the clock.

So if you are buying an aftermarket hood, it's essentially a great safety precaution to buy hood pins just to be 100% sure the hood will stay closed whenever you're driving. Hood pins & latches are custom equipment, usually installed on racecars for safer hood fixing and easier access in case of emergency. While aftermarket hood manufacturers often build their hoods with latch hooks that are intended to replicate the factory hood latch hook, the fact is aftermarket hoods have a different weight, shape, and makeup than factory hoods, and aftermarket hood manufacturers do not have the same resources to do the capital-intensive testing needed to make sure the latch works perfectly under all circumstances. The testing that car manufacturers do to ensure the effectiveness of the hood latch is extremely intensive and they have incredible resources to perform these tests. The reason is because the factory hood latch hook was specifically designed for the hood latch on your car. They can be particularly useful if you have an aftermarket hood on your car. Q: What are hood pins? Why buy them? A: Hood pins are mechanism for 'locking' your hood when it's closed. Check our product listing details to see if hood pins are required.)
