It is a convertible though...

"Everyone knows Craigslist is a digital black hole capable of stealing away hours upon hours of free—and not so free—time. From its depths now comes this 2003 Dodge Viper SRT10 convertible. The seller is asking just $14,900 for this 55,769-mile peach, and it offers the future owner a truly blank slate and unlimited leg scaldings.
By now, you’ve surely inspected the photos of the Viper in question, and you might be wondering what we might be smoking. We’d tell you what we’re smoking, but we bought it on Craigslist, so we aren’t entirely sure what it is. It doesn’t matter, anyway—all that matters is that this bodywork-free Viper exists, and that it’s for sale. Apparently the result of a partial salvage mission, the Dodge is missing body panels, glass, both front airbags, lights, carpeting, and a top following an unspecified frontal impact. But don’t let those minor details ruin this prime opportunity for you—this low-mile Viper runs and drives.
2003 Dodge Viper SRT
We’re going to skip over the whole “you pick the body!” shtick and skip right to what someone in the market for a $15K, bodyless Viper might actually do: Buy the car and drive it as-is. Screw trying to coachbuild some kind of exotic, one-off stunner out of this thing—Zagato already tried, and the resulting Alfa Romeo homage was kind of strange. By our estimation, all this Viper needs to be legal are sets of headlights and taillights (ideally of the sealed-beam variety pulled from, say, a tractor) and a windshield.
We wonder if the buyer will attempt to hit the Viper’s 190-mph top speed (as estimated in our original test of a 2003 model), although he or she will need to do so while avoiding contemplating how the 450-hp V-10 might mix with an utter lack of aerodynamic aids. They should, however, try to work out a rear-first impact when things do let go. That way, Craigslist might soon be gifted a listing for a mint-condition, 56,000-ish-mile 2003 Viper V-10 and six-speed manual transmission—body, chassis, and previous owner not included."
