True, Corvette C4's are dime a dozen in the market as Chevrolet sold more than 366,000 units through its production cycle that lasted a full thirteen years from 1983 to 1996, but there's something fundamentally wrong with turning a 'Vette into a…Dodge Viper GTS – mind you, it has been done before .
This Viperette, which mimics the looks of the Phase II model produced from 1996 to 2002, was found on Craigslist Miami with an asking price of $10,999 (equal to €8,000). And if you're wondering, a quick online search showed that used car prices for the original 1996-2002 Dodge Viper GTS range average around $35,000 to $45,000.
The seller's replica car ad states the following:
"Here is your chance to own a very cool Dodge Viper GTS replica built on a C4 Corvette, finished in all Black Exterior with Silver Racing Stripes.
