Ferrrari or a Dodge

Ferrari or a Dodge?
What would you do with $228,143.43? Buy a house? A yacht? A Ferrari?
If you're a big NASCAR fan, you spend it on a Richard Petty-inspired Dodge Challenger SRT8. Chrysler LLC auctioned off the 43rd Challenger -- the only blue one -- to Richard Martin of Delaplane, Va., for more than 200K. Petty drove blue stock cars emblazoned with the No. 43. Proceeds from the sale went to the Victory Junction Gang, a camp for ill children founded by racer and Petty's son, Kyle.
The Challenger SRT8 lists for $37,995 -- but Insider is certain Chrysler wouldn't mind a 600 percent profit on a few more of them.
