Vehicle Description
Just Toys Classic Cars is overjoyed to present a very rare piece of
Viper history. This here is what was the prototype 1998 Dodge Viper
GT-3 Race Car. For die hard Viper fans they will already know this,
but for everyone that doesn't listen up. Roy Sjoberg was the
individual the Carroll Shelby tapped to design and build the very
first viper in 1989. Roy was the racers racer. He had this stuff in
his blood all the way back to the 50's when he pit crewed his
brothers 356 Porsche at all of the major road courses across the
country. He was definitely the right man for the job. As we all
know, the Viper legend still lives on to this day. This piece that
you are looking at here was built by Autoform Development for
Vision Racing. This was a partnership between Steve Dreyer, owner
of Autoform and Roy Sjoberg again, Viper program Chief Engineer of
Chrysler Corportation. This car that you see here was prepped and
tested in the Viper Days Racing Series as a proof of concept for an
expected partnership with Chrysler Corporation. The tests were very
successful, but executives at Dodge decided to take the program in
house and soon there after released the 2003 Dodge Viper
Competition Coupe. So what you have here is the car that started it
all. This prototype disappeared off the market from 2002 to 2014
when it was sold to a private collector and stored in a climate
controlled garage and unused. In 2015 the car was completely
checked out, fitted with new Hoosier rubber and tested at Homestead
Miami Speedway and everything checked out with flying colors. Under
the lift off hood of this track beast sits the blueprinted V10
Viper engine producing 525 HP and built to Endurance Specs. The
driveline has been upgraded to GTSR specs in the motor,
transmission, and differential with external coolers. The entire
body is comprised of ultra lightweight ALMS parts. We have a binder
full of all the part numbers on this car so you can replace pieces
down the road if you race it. The cage is SCCA and Grand Am legal
with engine compartment bracing and triple driver side door bars.
This car has a heavy duty clutch, Brembo brakes, 3 piece alloy
wheels, triple adjustable shocks, and tons of light weight parts.
If you are looking to get in to road course racing on a budget then
this is the perfect vehicle for you. This would cost you $150,000
over and above the cost of a Viper to build this car and this one
is done and ready to go. As we said, we have a binder with all of
the part numbers computer models, concept sketches from Father
Viper and a complete history of the car. This is truly a 1 of 1
vehicle the whether you a Viper collector, racer, or just a car
nut, needs to be in your collection today. There is so much on and
invested in this car that you could not build it for anything close
to what we are asking. We are covering this car with a lot of broad
strokes. Please contact us for more information regarding this
vehicle. We look forward to speaking with you soon, and we look
forward to making you the newest member of the Just Toys Classic
Cars family. All vehicles shown by appointment Front Air
