Two extraordinary Ram performance trucks—one representing the future and the other a celebrated chapter from the past—will be sold together for charity during the 2026 Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas Auction.
The pairing includes the first retail-production 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee SRT, customized as a one-of-one collector truck, and a restored and modified 2005 Ram 1500 SRT-10. They are scheduled to cross the block Friday, Sept. 11, at approximately 3:30 p.m. Pacific—5:30 p.m. Central—at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Barrett-Jackson says it will waive its customary fees and commissions, allowing 100% of the hammer price to benefit charitable causes. Most of the money will support Folds of Honor, which provides educational scholarships to spouses and children of fallen or disabled military members and first responders. A portion will go through the UFC Foundation to Hispanic charities in recognition of Mexican Independence Day weekend.
The sale falls on the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, giving the charity effort particular significance. UFC President and CEO Dana White and Barrett-Jackson Chairman and CEO Craig Jackson are expected to be on the auction block to encourage bidding. The buyer will also receive a VIP experience at a future UFC event of his or her choice.
The headliner is the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee SRT, a new high-performance pickup powered in production form by a supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat Hemi V8. Ram says it produces 777 horsepower and 680 pound-feet of torque, accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, covers the quarter-mile in 11.6 seconds and has a targeted top speed of 170 mph.
As if 777 horsepower might leave someone struggling to merge, the auction truck is expected to receive a Direct Connection 3.0-liter supercharger upgrade capable of pushing output beyond 900 horsepower. Other planned modifications include a MagnaFlow stainless-steel exhaust, satin-black 22-inch wheels, red Brembo brake calipers and a hand-painted two-tone finish combining Molten Red Pearl-Coat over Diamond Black Crystal Pearl-Coat. A special center-console badge will authenticate its one-of-one status.
Its auction partner is a pristine 2005 Ram SRT-10, the delightfully excessive pickup created when Dodge installed an 8.3-liter Viper V10 beneath the hood of a Ram. The engine produces 500 horsepower, and Guinness World Records recognized the SRT-10 as the world’s fastest production pickup of its era.

RealTruck and ProMotorsports worked with Ram, SRT and Mopar Design Vice President Mark Trostle to update the 2005 truck while preserving its character. It wears a yellow-over-black two-tone finish, Viper-inspired bedside graphics and matching yellow-and-black wheels. Inside are black Alea leather seats with yellow accents. RealTruck supplied PowerStep running boards and a Pro X15 roll-up tonneau cover, while Husky Liners provided floor and bed protection.
Ram’s Tim Kuniskis described the pairing as a look at where the company has been and where it is going. The Viper-powered SRT-10 helped establish the modern performance-pickup formula, while the supercharged Rumble Bee takes that idea to a level that would have sounded almost fictional in 2005.
