THE DODGE VIPER
Bearing a powerful engine, a minimalist, straightforward design, muscular and aggressive styling, and high performance, the Viper was conceived as a historical take on the classic American sports car. The Viper debuted as a concept in January of 1989 and soon found its way onto the production line, with the first customer cars getting delivered in early 1992. From the start, the car was a raw beast, powered by a massive V-10 engine heavily modified by Lamborghini, which at the time was owned by Chrysler. Still as aggressive as ever, the Viper soldiers on today as an unabashed example of how supercars are built in America.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This highly original Viper RT/10 Roadster has covered less than 12,900 miles from new and presents largely as it did when new nearly 3 decades ago. The Viper was delivered new to Dallas, TX in November of 1992, and would according to the CARFAX report remain with the first owner there for at least a decade. By 2010, with just 7,986 miles recorded on the odometer, the Viper was purchased by a California-based, IBM executive. The Canadian consignor acquired the car in 2011 and has kept the car in great condition ever since, servicing it regularly. The Carfax report erroneously reports the miles in kilometers around this time, as is common with mph cars in Canada.
Today, this low mileage example is ready for show and motoring. It is offered with full weather equipment, original tires, many spare parts and a comprehensive history file containing many service records. The factory Tremec 6-speed transmission gives one great control over the massive 8.0-liter V-10 engine, and the all-aluminum suspension adds precise handling. Lacking the complexity of most super cars, the 1st generation Viper offers raw and pure driving experience at a tremendous value.
