Wow! Nice ride. Someone will be very happy!

[RX VIPER]

That is a beautiful car. If I was looking for a Blue and White I would be all over that.

[C O D Y]

Umm No. Not at the almost 6 figure asking price. That's why it's been for sale for so long.

Nice car, just needs a little more time.

Hey Rob,

I thought you were going to donate your Viper to my stable? Are you going on the Big Bear Cruise? Make sure you drag Armen out too!

[ViperJoe]

Time capsule car.........11 year old brand new car. Saw it up close, awsome condition.
Some will say well it ougt to be like a new car, but I have seen cars with less than 1k on the clock that looked like they had 30k.

That is sick low miles.........guy drove it home and threw away the keys .......lol!

[Toby]

To drive that car safely it would require a lot of maintenance imo.

A leak down and compression check would be mandatory too.

upper 50's would be a decent price but get ready to spend 2-3K to make it drivable.

[Les Quam]

Upper 50s would be a steal for that car. Anyone know the owner history?

I also think GEN 1 and 2 Vipers will be appreciating significantly sooner than 30 years from now in terms of being appreciating collectibles. I think their low annual build volume makes them already a consideration for collector purposes.

It's also getting difficult to find original parts for these cars, and from model year to model year there were numerous different parts unique to each year plus they were handbuilt in low volume and to the best of my knowledge the only big block factory performance cars built since the 60s??? IMHO all that adds up to being collectible relatively soon? If the new federal regulations and gas prices put a quick end to the HP wars they could become appreciating collectibles in the near term.

I agree, with the super low production numbers, classic styling and high horsepower from the V10 these cars are sure to be collectibles. Then factor in how many have been wrecked and how many are raggy and the numbers get even lower. And if I am wrong it is no big deal since I am sure owning one will be even more fun than my vette's were and at the very least I do not expect the car will depreciate at the rate my C5 is.
