Chrysler President Jim Press insists that buyers have been lining up to buy the entire operation although sales are down. Among those potentially interested are American tuners Roush and Saleen. Whatever company ends up buying the Viper operation, Chrysler expects to make anywhere from $50 to a projected $150 million before it vacates its Conner Avenue plant by the end of 2011, and has hired financial firm Lazard Limited to handle the sale.
Potentially of equal interest will be the opportunity to expand the Viper line-up. We’re not sure what else you could make on the V10 sportscar platform, considering that convertible, coupe and hard-core track-day versions are already in line-up. But i’m sure everyone is interested to find out.
