Dodge Concept Car

==Description==
The Dodge Copperhead is a concept sports car manufactured by the Dodge division of the Chrysler Corporation (now Stellantis North America). Styled by John Herlitz, the Copperhead was intended as a slimmed-down version of the Viper for buyers who were unable to afford the Viper's cost. In comparison to the Viper, the Copperhead was powered by a 2.7L LH V6 mated to a 5-speed manual, and was designed mainly for driving pleasure. The car was intended to be released in 2000 but was ultimately never produced.
Dodge unofficially changed the name of the Copperhead due to copyright issues arising with the ownership of the "Copperhead" name, likely due to a custom 1950 Ford Coupe named Kopperhead owned by ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons. Since then Dodge has referred to the vehicle as the Concept Vehicle or Concept Car; this made any piece of merchandise or press kit with the "Copperhead" name collectibles.
Its heavy weight makes it a prime choice for racing. Very few black interior versions were ever produced in China, their value today, MOMC, comes anywhere between 200-300 USD compaired to Malaysia's purple interior that still fetches over 50 USD.
