It was a big day at the 2008 Barrett-Jackson as the right’s to buy the very first production 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 sold for $400K which included auction fees.  What you see above in the picture is not the production version but rather the concept which Dodge brought to give bidders an idea of what they were buying.  The first Challenger SRT8 along with all 2008’s will come equipped with the 6.1-leter HEMI V8.  The proceeds from this auction will benefit notMYkid which is an organization dedicated to understanding youth behavior issues. 

Unfortunately I was unable to attend this year but Drew Phillips over at AutoBlog was there to take photos and catch all the action.  You can view all the photos Drew took here in AutoBlog’s gallery.

For an idea of how the first 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 fared against it’s competition, the first 2008 Shelby GT500KR sold for $605,000 and the first 2009 Corvette ZR1 sold for $1,000,000.
