Congratulations to everyone in our Viper World!
This year marks the 15th Anniversary of the launch of our GREAT 1992 Vipers.
On Tuesday, 5/26/92 the first shipment of 12 Vipers was made from the New Mack Ave. Viper Assembly Plant to dealers in Los Angeles, CA. This would likely have been two Reliance enclosed trailers with 6 cars on each possibly delivering VIN's #18 thru 29.
The retail sales distribution plan was to start in California, complete the west coast and southwest major markets, then move into the northeast, the midwest, the southeast and complete the 1992 model distribution plan with Texas. In general, this retail plan seemed to have been followed although there were deviations along the way. There were also non retail sales which could have gone anywhere.
What a major event in the auto world! Our great Vipers were finally available and in the hands of the public for the first time. This was a great start which was followed by many more fantastic Vipers which established an unbeatable racing history. Now the first factory 600hp, 2008 Vipers are almost here and we will have more great cars to look forward to.

Thank you to everyone at Chrysler & Dodge for making the Viper for us!
