A Florida man who bought a Dodge Viper ACR supercar for $140,000 has seen it sell for over double that after it became an unexpected windfall.
Sold via Cars & Bids, this incredible Dodge Viper American Club Racer (ACR) is the ultimate iteration of the American supercar, built between 2016 and 2017.
The owner of this car bought it brand new, paying $140,000 at the time, but recently it had to make way after being driven for less than 10,000 miles.
Incredibly, the owner was able to more than double his investment in the car, showing how sought-after this version of the Viper is.

The Dodge Viper ACR sold for crazy money
According to the Cars & Bids listing, this Viper ACR sold for an astonishing $300,000.
During the time that the owner had the Dodge, it was driven for just 8,700 miles, meaning it is almost as-new.
While with its previous owner, he had maintained the supercar almost perfectly, ensuring it was in superb condition.
The car had a one-owner and clean Carfax history.
It also underwent regular servicing that included oil changes, new tires, plus coolant and brake fluid flushes.
This ensured that there would be no hidden surprises when the buyer took delivery of the Dodge.
So what exactly makes this Dodge Viper version so special?
The Viper ACR was the ultimate edition of the supercar
At the time of its conception, Dodge wanted to produce the fastest street-legal Viper ever made.
That led to a monster with an 8.4-liter naturally-aspirated V10 under the hood.
The V10 made 645hp and 600lb-ft of torque, and was the largest engine fitted to an American production car.
Incredibly, Dodge also gave the Viper ACR a six-speed manual transmission.
That meant it felt just as raw as the very first Viper from the 1990s.
For those who added the optional Extreme Aero package, the car would make 1,700lbs of downforce at 177mph.
As we see in this example, it includes the huge carbon-fiber rear wing, front splitter, and rear diffuser.
This is one very impressive vehicle, and clearly, they are still worth a fortune 10 years after their introduction.
