GTA 5 Update: Dodge Designed by Rockstar Games to Look Like Grand Theft Auto V Game's Banshee Bravado Listed on eBay
Do you wish you had a car was as nice as the ones you steal in Grand Theft Auto V? With the right amount of money and an eBay account, now you can make that dream reality.
As a promotion for Grand Theft Auto V, game developer Rockstar Games and California-based luxury car customizer West Coast Customs (who also designed showy Los Santos worthy cars for MTV's "Pimp My Ride" TV show), developed a 2006 Dodge Vip SRT-10 to look like the video game's Banshee Bravado. The car was given away as a prize in September 2013 when Grand Theft Auto V first came out, but now it's on popular auctioning website, eBay.
"I was the lucky winner of the 2013 GTAV Bravado Banshee from the PowerUp GameStop Epic Rewards Giveaway," the item's description reads. "... However, as a fixed income mom with two boys getting ready to head to college, I need the money more than a race car (even though it is fun to drive!)."
There is one day left in the auction, and 248 people are watching it an hour. Nine offers for undisclosed amounts have already been made. The car is also eligible for purchase without bidding for $170,000. According to the current owner, the Dodge has an estimated retail value of $180,000.
"This is a one-of-a-kind build," the post's description continues. "It is [a] wonderfully fast and loud sports car that turns heads everywhere it goes and draws a crowd if it stops! It has custom body modifications, specialty rim tires, full trunk stereo system, new gel battery and many other features. "
As of June 4, the video game-inspired vehicle reportedly had 7,268 miles on it. It is also equipped with a Pioneer AVIC-Z150BH stereo system.
"The lifter arms were checked and one was replaced; however, it did not make any difference to helping lift the hood. The 'stick' to hold the hood up will also be included ...," the seller added.
