Someone found the car. It's now in California and painted dark blue.

This is what I posted on FB on the Viper Owners site:

"WOW! It still exists. I had painted it BMW Polaris Silver in 1997 to try to get rid of the outgassing smell that was so bad in the car. That was one of the reasons I eventually sold it in 1999 - it was downright poisonous to be around if it had been sitting in the sun. Lots of new owners complained about the smell but Dodge just "gaslighted " them into thinking they were imagining it. I'm beginning to think that the assembly line improperly mixed the panel adhesive or spilled a bunch of uncured adhesive in between the panels. The source could never be isolated but it was a health hazard to my family so we sold it.
Yup, I forgot back in the day I paid to have the hEnNeSeY 5-hunnert Package sent me to install...of course he never sent all the parts but did send the little dash plaque! I was told the parts should arrive by next week. Just shipped them out today. "

Here's some photos in 1997 after we had it painted.
