Vehicle Description
Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 2002 Dodge Viper RT/10.
With just three owners from new and right at 10,000 original miles,
this Viper is a case study in originality and preservation. Totally
original inside and out, including fully original paint and
original tires. This example is blemish free aside from one small
chip (smaller than a nickel) on the lower front left corner of the
air dam. Original wheels are in excellent condition with no curb
rash and are still wearing their original Michelins with 2002 date
codes. Needless to say with only 10,000 miles there is plenty of
tread remaining, but anyone wishing to undertake spirited driving
would be advised to replace the tires (we can accommodate this as
part of the sale, if desired).
The interior likewise presents as you would expect for a
garage-kept, 10,000-mile specimen - there is little to no wear
showing on the leather seating surfaces, the steering wheel or
dash. The only item to address is that the headliner has begun to
separate and sag from the hard top. The color-matched hard top,
folding fabric toupette and factory tonneau cover are all in
excellent condition (and come complete with their carrying bags and
instructions).
The Viper was designed with an "engine first" mentality, which is
evident from the moment you turn the key and fire up the
all-aluminum 8.0 liter V10 designed in partnership with
Lamborghini. Factory rated at 450 horsepower, even by today's
standards this car offers a blistering performance with a 4.0
second 0-60 time (along with a top speed of 185 mph). The Borg
Warner T-56 six-speed manual transmission is the perfect complement
for getting power to the rear axle - the clutch and gearbox feel
great. An oil service was completed last month in preparation for
the sale.
If you like your sports cars raw without interference from
electronic nannies (aka "driver aids"), then you'll be right at
home in a Viper...although by 2002 it did come equipped with safety
features such as airbags and anti-lock brakes (but not traction
control, mind you).
Original window sticker (framed) showing an MSRP of $75k plus a
$10k market adjustment on top of that, original owner's books and
original purchase invoice are included with the sale. For more
