Paul, SELL THE CAR!, It will never be worth more than it is today! Think about the taxes, look at Steve Fergusons post, that is what it will cost you to put this car on the street. Put it this way, this is a windfall for you and your family, imagine if it was a....pick the car you hate the most...maybe a Yugo or something.... with that incredible paint job, and for a SHORT TIME this car was worth a TON of money to somebody who has more money than brains and MUST have the latest thing on the block. Scpre a big financial win for your family and sell it. You already have a Viper you love. Hey, think about taking the profits and supercharging YOUR car. I don't mean to sound preachy but I can tell from your posts that....
1. You love the car you have.
2. You are going to be afraid to drive this car due to it's collectivity/value/investment interest.
3. Taxes are a problem

I just recently went through this situation with "an investment grade car" I decided it ain't worth it to drive around regularly, too worrisome. As someone who has been somewhat in your situation here is my bottom line advice.

PUT THE CAR ON AUTOTRADER.COM My car sold within 24 hrs, I could have sold 10 of them. No one had any problem with the price, the car was picked up with a certified check within 24 hours of it being listed. Oh, the only mistake I made was I should have set the price higher.

Yeah I like your thinking on this one and that may be what I want to do here in the near future...and there's not a snowballs chance in **** I can afford taxes like that just to drive the thing. I could use a little extra money in the pocket too, that may be what I end up doing. I'll check out autotrader.com, but what are the pros and cons between autotrader.com and ebay? I';ve never used either one of them. That is a question I need to find out before I do anything, thanks for all your help everyone, Paul.

Yea, If it was mine I'd have to sell it no matter how much I liked
it... If I kept it I'd have to take the cingular stickers off and
that would probably reduce the value...

But if you could get more money out of it after taxes you could
now buy a new viper in the color you wanted at a discount...

Paul, I think you can put it on ebay through autotrader, you either elect it as a choice or they do it anyway. I did not remember electing it as a choice but some of the guys that called on mine said they had seen it on ebay.

Great looking car- but I and hundreds of over Viper owners would be willing to swear to the IRS that the "custom" paint job actually lowers the value of the car by at least $30,000

That should save you bunches of $ in taxes!
Nothing beats the factory original paint job, right guys
