Vehicle Description
1996 Dodge Viper GTS For Sale - 3,200 Miles, Like Brand New LMC is
proud to offer for sale this 1996 Dodge Viper GTS. The Viper was
initially conceived in late 1988 at Chrysler's Advanced Design
Studios with the idea of producing a modern Cobra. "Team Viper" was
established and they asked the then-Chrysler subsidiary Lamborghini
to cast a prototype aluminum block for the sports car. Not long
after Carroll Shelby piloted a pre-production V10 car as the pace
vehicle in the Indianapolis 500. Since its introduction in 1992,
the Dodge Viper instantly become one of the pinnacles of America
Sports Car performance. Although the sparsely appointed street race
cars in the initial generation convertible styling were well
accepted there was a demand for more comforts. The second
generation Viper was born with the 1996 model year having a Coupe
called the GTS with a lighter more powerful engine. The styling was
a huge success with the roof featuring raised sections known as the
"double bubble" above each seat to accommodate drivers wearing
helmets. The distinctive race inspired styling is evident in the
massive side vent scoops, full width contoured Rear Spoiler and the
Fuel Filler Cap. The GTS would come with the same 8.0 liter V10
engine but power would be increased to 450 HP. This model became
the first Viper to be equipped with airbags and also included air
conditioning, power windows and door locks. For this first year of
production, all Viper GTS' were finished in Blue with White
stripes, paying homage to the Shelby Daytona Coupe where it is said
inspiration for the body design was taken from. As such this
ferocious snake represents modern American muscle at its finest
while at the same time taking a few important notes from high
performance racing. This particular 1996 Dodge Viper GTS has been
collector owned since new. The Viper has the classic look of a
champion in its factory Blue with the wide Dual White Racing
Stripes travelling over the center and back right through the rear
license plate area. This definitely provides the famous blue and
white stripe look of the vintage Cobras. Now over the years the
owners of this Viper have shown incredible restraint as this car
has only been driven only 3,200 original miles from new and
therefore the car remains in beautiful showroom condition
throughout. Lift the tilt back Hood/Front Fender unit and reveal
the legendary Red Viper V10. This 8.0L power plant delivers 450 HP
and is mated to the Borg Warner T56 6-Speed Manual Transmission.
Track performance is impressive with 0-60 in 4 seconds and the
�-mile results of 12.2 @ 118mph. On the street it sits menacingly
on the pavement with the extremely wide Michelins sporting the
Viper 5-Spoke Chrome Wheels. The 2-door Coupe has an all-Black
interior that provides the driver with driving comfort and
conveniences for on and off the track. This Dodge Viper has been
very extremely well looked after and maintained over the years by
its attentive owner and with only 3,200 original miles it is in
like new condition. ���� This '96 Viper delivers some very special
