The car was reportedly stored from 2002 until 2014. Find a great write-up in the Craigslist ad. More pics after the jump!
Left Lane alerted us to this Chrysler/Motor Trend video about the building of the latest iteration of the Dodge Viper. While a bit overdramatic with its slow motion and deep-voiced narration, it is one hell of a car. The hand-laid carbon fiber panels alone almost justify it’s premium price. Video after the jump!

In January, Chrysler had announced that they were crushing 93 of the very first Dodge Vipers that were built. Most of these cars were donated to technical schools and were not road legal. As Mopar Blog reported in March, South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, Washington refused to see their car crushed and started an online petition. Well, good news. It worked! Carbuzz is reporting that, due to the petition the resulting local news coverage, Chrysler has decided not to crush the car and is currently working with the school to arrive at a solution.
