First Viper to be auctioned off for pediatric cancer charity

Filed under: Car Buying, Coupe, Performance, Auctions, Dodge

Cancer sucks. And pediatric cancer sucks the worst. Without hesitation, we would trade all the exotic cars in the world for a cure.

But you know what doesn't suck? The new Viper. So it's pretty cool that Chrysler will auction off the first one to benefit the Austin Hatcher Foundation For Pediatric Cancer. The organization, based in Chattanooga, TN, is an official charity of the American Le Mans Series, which is presumably why it was picked. At the Viper reveal at New York, Chrysler also announced it would resume racing in the series.

So the first 2013 SRT Viper will cross the stage at Barrett-Jackson Orange County, which goes down June 22-24. It'll be interesting to see what it brings in, considering the first 2013 Chevrolet Corvette 427 convertible's $600,000 hammer price earlier this year at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale.

And if you aren't deep-pocketed enough to get in on the Viper hunt, helping out the Hatcher Foundation doesn't require bidding - you can make a donation at the organization's website.
