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. This Viper is powered by a Chevy Tuned Port Injection engine and a 700r4 automatic transmission. Some Original parts were used like, emblems, lights, mirrors and wheels.
