Who knew a car that’s never left the lot could use so much work?
Audubon Chrysler in Henderson, Kentucky has finally taken down the Dodge Viper it has been using as a sign for most of the past three decades. The brash two-door will be refurbished before returning to its perch overlooking U.S. Highway 41.
Most dealerships in possession of a Dodge Viper during the mid-1990s would have tried to quickly sell the serpentine sports car for a tidy profit. Not Audubon Chrysler, though. The business’s owners decided there was a better way to put the car to use—by turning it into one of the most head-turning dealer signs we’ve ever seen.
The first-generation Viper RT/10 was lowered to the ground earlier this month after 28 long years spent parked above the dealership. The complex operation was captured on camera by a member of the Viper Club of America Facebook group , who shared photographs of the process along with the news that it would be repainted and cleaned before going back up.
