When the car first appeared on eBay last year, it was priced at $135,000 (but did not sell). Now it's going for $160,000 on Facebook Marketplace. Owner Kerry Prater Stochl explains that it's a golden opportunity for a company looking for exposure.

The Viper's V10 engine too has been replaced, by a 390-hp Mopar 360 Magnum engine, coupled with an automatic transmission.
