Especially considering the chop shop had numerous other Hellcats, evident from the parts from a Charger being mixed up in here. I'd bet you if you looked up dealer Hellcat heists in the Detroit area, you might find some info on this specific car.

Not sure about direct connection but concerning the color of oil. Some manufacturers break in oil is green. But i use Schaffer's Race Oil and it Green also. Yours looked more like a break-in oil. Just food for thought. A hellephant crate and its contents. Cost way more than your purchase price. If you can find one. And then you still have to purchase a transmission, not to mention a stought rear end. If engine is ok. Then you got a steal on this once in a lifetime find. You the Man!!
