9,600-Mile 2008 Dodge Magnum SRT8 Surfaces On BaT

When Dodge pulled the plug on the Magnum after the 2008 model year, it closed the book on one of the most unconventional performance machines to ever wear the SRT badge. Today, with only 239 examples built in that final year, the Magnum SRT8 has become a unicorn in Mopar circles. Now, a pristine, low-mileage example has popped up for auction on BringATrailer, reminding enthusiasts just how wild Chrysler’s performance division once was.

A Wagon With Muscle Car DNA – 

This 2008 Dodge Magnum SRT8 isn’t your run-of-the-mill family hauler. Finished in Bright Silver Metallic (PS2) with SRT-specific bodywork, it projects menace with a hood scoop, aggressive fascia, and roof spoiler. Subtle details like a blacked-out grille, fog lights, dual exhaust outlets, and even side-window rain guards add both flair and functionality. The listing notes a small chip under the front valance, but otherwise, the body presents beautifully—just as you’d expect from a car with only 9,600 miles on the clock.

Purpose-Built Hardware –

Rolling on 20-inch five-spoke alloys wrapped in Goodyear rubber, the Magnum SRT8 is backed by serious stopping power courtesy of Brembo calipers and slotted/ventilated discs at each corner. Under the hood sits the crown jewel: Chrysler’s 6.1-liter (370 cubic-inch) HEMI® V8. Rated at 425 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque when new, it sends power to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic and a limited-slip differential. The seller confirms an oil change was performed before listing, ensuring the big HEMI is ready to run.

An Interior That Blends Sport and Utility –

Inside, Dodge gave the Magnum SRT8 a cabin that leaned more toward muscle car than family wagon. The heated, power-adjustable front buckets are upholstered in Dark Slate Gray leather with Light Slate Gray microsuede inserts, red stitching, and embroidered SRT logos on the headrests. A four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 180-mph speedometer and an 8,000-rpm tachometer, emphasizing performance credentials. Meanwhile, modern conveniences like dual-zone climate control, cruise control, power windows, and keyless entry keep the family-friendly side intact.

A Short but Special Legacy –

The Magnum SRT8’s rarity adds serious weight to its appeal. With production ending after 2008, these wagons became instant collectibles for Mopar faithful who wanted something more practical than a Charger SRT8 but with the same brute performance. The final-year updates included a revised instrument panel, reshaped hood scoop, and an angrier front fascia—details that make 2008 models particularly desirable.

Condition and Provenance –

According to the listing, the wagon has had only two registered owners. The second caretaker held onto the car from 2011 until it was recently acquired by the selling dealer. A clean Pennsylvania title accompanies the sale, along with a damage-free Carfax. One open recall remains outstanding, but otherwise, this example appears unspoiled.

The Auction –

With just 10,000 miles, collector-grade condition, and the rarest production year on its side, this Magnum SRT8 is poised to draw serious attention. The auction is live now on BringATrailer and will wrap up on Wednesday, September 17, at 4:06 p.m. EDT.

For Mopar fans, it’s not just a chance to buy a car—it’s a chance to own one of Dodge’s boldest experiments. A wagon with the heart of a muscle car, the Magnum SRT8 proved that family duty and performance didn’t have to be mutually exclusive. With so few built, opportunities like this don’t come around often.
