2000 CHRYSLER FACTORY VIPER LEMANS GTSR WINNER, CHASSIS C 31
Representing the high point of the Chryslers Corporations last and only full factory program foray into international championship road racing. It is the Daytona Cobra/Corvette Grand Sport of modern times and is the last American in house factory built and entered production car to win the 24 hours of Le Mans.

All General Motors Corvettes that have accomplished victory at the 24 hr classic have been constructed by Pratt & Miller, outside contract vendors. With the dismantling of the factory works racing effort following the end of the 2000 season, Chrysler placed the other Le Mans winner on permanent display at the Walter P Chrysler Museum in Auburn
Hills Michigan.

It is highly unlikely when considering the current world economic conditions, existing and proposed environmental regulations combined with the prevailing politically correct corporate social responsibility attitude to the public that a Euro/ American (Fiat/Chrysler) owned car manufacture will build and campaign a 10 cylinder 8 liter plus petroleum burning racing car and return to international racing series competition.

Opportunities to acquire museum quality vehicles signifying a factory manufactures technical tour de force such as this occur very rarely. With the second most collectable Chrysler, a 1971 Hemi Cuda convertible (one of 7 built) last offered at public sale January 19, 2007 at RM Auctions Scottsdale event, attaining a result of $2,420,000, this quintessential example of factory Chrysler history and accomplishment priced significantly less at $895,000 (offers/trades considered) offers the academically astute collector when Concours shown or track demonstrated, the ability for upside appreciation as its place in automotive history becomes publicly acknowledged over time.

Full no expense spared 100 pt frame up Concours winning restoration by Ex Oreca factory mechanic team member of this car. Never wrecked, all original body work and running gear including extensive spares package. Fully documented, accompanied by featured publication articles and original drivers suit of Karl Wendlinger worn at Le Mans.

Additionally track ready it would undoubtedly be a front runner with any of the several vintage organizations (HSR & SVRA) where currently eligible.
