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 CAR OFFERED
While the Viper was only on the scene for 25 years—compared to the Corvette's over 67 years and counting—it has built up a rabid following. In 2006, when the factory was shut for over a year for retooling in advance of the 2008 model release, Dodge decided to commemorate the Viper's success with a tip of the hat to the fans and enthusiasts. Built especially for the ninth-annual Viper Owners Invitational in Las Vegas, which was put on by the Viper Club of America, this is number 004 of 100 unique VOI.9 Edition Vipers ever built. In addition to that, it is one of only 16 produced with the Prefix Special Edition Aero Package (a $7,200 aftermarket option) that incorporated an adjustable carbon fiber front chin spoiler and picnic table-size rear wing. And if you like gilding the lily, this car is one of just 10 fitted with the Mopar Performance Package (a $12,000 aftermarket option) that included Mopar competition coupe camshaft, headers, and full exhaust in addition to other improvements for a stated minimum of 550bhp and 580lb-ft of torque. Only one other Viper is so equipped.
Among the special features included in the VOI.9 Edition are the popular white with blue stripe color scheme, special badges on the B-pillars, unique blue interior trim on the center console, lower dashboard and door panels, black shifter boot, and a console mounted badge denoting this car as #004/100.
This special Viper was sold new in to its currently, Midwestern owner and picked up directly from the Viper Owner's Invitational in Las Vegas. Currently showing a mere 5,046 miles from new at the time of cataloging, this is the Viper is complete with its original window sticker, documentation from Prefix, and a clean CARFAX and looks nearly showroom fresh and ready to draw attention wherever it goes.
