Hey, I am actually looking at purchasing my third viper. (had a 04 and a 94) Been browsing to buy another one and came across this one. I've been in contact with the owner and I will be flying out to look and hopefully bring it home tomorrow.

I've tried emailing DLM to see if they have any documentation on the car but didn't get a response.

I did a car fax and it shows 5 owners!!!! Even one in Alaska. No accidents reported.

But the current owner has had it since 2008 only put 6k miles on it since he bought it. Doesn't really have dyno sheets or "build" documentation.


So yea, just looking for more information on this car. Thanks fellas.

First did you ask if the previous owner was a VCA member?
If so might want to check with their local VCA region to see if any one recognizes this Viper and may know background details.
If you do purchase the Viper please check the tires first and plan on purchasing fresh rubber if needed before the trip home.

If you have questions email [email protected] or call 1800-677-4321.

Avoid financial headaches. Make sure the loan has been paid off if you're buying from a private seller.

Gave her a wash at the in-laws house

Put the baby seat in and took my 3 year old for a ride. I guess people lied. Vipers are tame enough for a 3 year old to fall asleep in. Top down and all

Looks great. Make sure you get the tune checked out to make sure everything is lined up correctly before you got all out. Have fun!
