Put my Hellcat on Bring A Trailer

[05satinGT]

Hello everyone,

After 6 years of ownership, I decided to part ways with my Hellcat. During my ownership the car has been through a solid amount of modifications. I'm sure a lot of you have seen my build thread:

Ray's Project "UNDERTAKER"...

I just recently purchased a 2015 Hellcat. I am not going to name this a "build thread" because nothing is going to be "built" on this car (motor, trans, etc.) Nonetheless, I did want to have a thread to show the progression of my newly acquired toy and the modifications that I will make to it...

www.svtperformance.com

But the time has come. Between not having much time to drive the car due to work and life, the cost of owning it (property tax in CT, Insurance, etc.) I think it's time to move on.

I figured some of you would enjoy seeing it on BAT. I must say, this is my first time selling a car on BAT and they have been really good to me so far. Very responsive, and I feel like the author who wrote my ad did a really nice job.

Cheers,

Ray

Damn man, when you posted this on here a bit ago I was sad to see it go. I still am. You’ve done a lot of cool things with yours. Goodluck with your sale, I hope you get what you want for it!

Hey Ray,

Your ad looks like it should do well. I had a very positive experience selling my SC400 on BaT a couple years ago and would gladly do it again if I had something to sell.

Two pieces of advice from my experience not only as a seller but as someone who has been on BaT since before they even held auctions.

- Remain active in the auction, sellers that are very active in the comments and respond to questions frequently tend to have a positive reaction toward bidding.

- Don't freak out about what the current bid is at until the last day. My car sat at 4 grand for almost the entire 7 day auction, the bids started coming in 2 hours before the end and really started to rack up in the last 30 minutes. I had 3 bidders duking it out in the last 2 minutes which kept resetting the clock. If it looks like bidding or commenting has "stalled" mid-week, don't sweat it. Things pick up right at the end, its the BaT way.


BTW hope your family funeral home business is still doing well, my uncle just sold ours and retired a couple of months ago after 97 years in business. Sold the "business" to a local funeral home a few blocks away, sold the building to some Islamic group in the area, and my parents helped him auction off all the old antiques we had around the place. A friend of mine actually bought the hearse so I went with him to help load it up.

Best of luck with the auction!

Ryan, thank for your kind words. To be totally honest, the funeral business is going to be the death of me (no pun intended). I work literally 7 days a week and have no time to do anything in life which is half of the reason I'm selling this car. We are very busy and this business is a double edged sword. I recently sold my 2 ATV's, snowmobile and snowmobile trailer for the same reason. I'm tired of having all of these sit and collect dust in my garage. Good for you Uncle for retiring. Well deserved no doubt. Not sure what the future holds for my family business but my father is 62 and wants out. Not sure if I can handle this for the rest of my life, so we'll see what happens.

To everyone else, thank you for the kind words. I hope the car fetches good money and goes to a well deserved home.

Cheers,

Ray
