Ralph Gilles the Chief designer FCA is selling his personal Demon 004 production car. This makes no sense to me whatsoever why he would part with this car being he has to be making a huge income. So you have to truly wonder is there actually something bigger and badder on the horizon that beats the Demon? Wow to say the least being he’s given up such a rare car and even more wow there’s something bigger and badder. Let the speculation begin since the Demon talk has gone quiet lol.

While this is the second thread on this, it's to a different article with more? Information.

I don't know if I can put myself through this, RS is gone to validate this, I'm low on play money, I'm kicking another business off, and it could just as easily be some 1970s Challenger he's playing with because FCA has nothing new...


But then again...

Yeah I looked briefly to see if anyone else started one and didn’t see it in the Demon section so if you want to delete the posting no biggie to me but show me the other thread and is anyone even interested anyways?

Sure he is just cashing in now rather than later...but could be like insider trading (stock type) indicator? Who knows. My guess is just cashing in now...maybe buying another mansion?

I cant see a guy who is the Chief Designer needing an extra 100k I mean this guys making 1 million a year or more. If he ain’t he’s not a very good designer I mean car dealers are paying good Finance people 250-300k a year and GMs 500k to a million plus and your a head of a world wide auto company design making 100-200k a year????

My thing would be he doesn't see/believe the long-term value appreciation potential of the Demon...not reading into FCA coming up with something better as he has plenty of money (speculation) to buy whatever comes along without having to sell the Demon. Maybe he is already doubling his money on Demon sale so holding on for more money isn't a concern. Who really knows?

I've found that if I go the bank, they'll give you just about as much money as you're dumb enough to ask for...


All they want in return is a tiny amount of ink on a piece of paper...


Who knew???

He may not have had to pay for it in the first place

Get those in the mail all the time for my business. $250,000, etc.

I occassionally daydream (think of the possibilities...how many Hellcats that would be?)

68-70 Charger by Speedkore. I would say he got his hands on a Hellephant and that will power it.
