Originally scheduled to cease production in December 2009, the automaker’s Conner Avenue Assembly Plant  – home to the Viper since 1995 and the first plant to resume output after Chrysler emerged from bankruptcy – will continue to build the V10 sports car.

To date, over 25,000 Vipers have been built.
