    The Dodge Viper left this world in 2017 and we have a feeling that fact has done good things for the cars' values. Case in point, this 1992 Dodge Viper for sale on eBay. However, what's really bound to drive up the price of this car is the fact it was purchased new and has since sat stored in a climate-controlled garage. Just 34 miles show on the odometer. This is probably as close as one can get to a factory-fresh 1992 Viper. The eBay listing isn't heavy on information, but it says this is a one-owner car and that owner is a car collector who clearly saw value in letting the car sit for...

  • Fiat Chrysler Automobiles logo

FCA continued to argue, like other automakers, assumptions that surround the current regulations finalized in 2012 do not reflect today's reality. Seven years ago, car buyers began to...
