Vehicle Description
Here's the sweet spot in Dodge Vipers. This 1996 RT-10 roadster is
the desirable second generation, with updates in poise and power.
But it doesn't lose the hardcore reputation that made these
wind-in-your-hair supercars the ultimate machine for true power
drivers. Now look at the ultra low mileage, exceptional condition,
and lots of documentation that comes from this one-owner car. Now
you realize that this is the ultimate collectable too.
You gotta love the early Viper roadsters. It has a body built for
sin with nothing else added into the mix. The giant motor was
cloaked in a minimalist swoopy design that earned its snake bitten
name. The Stone White paint, and matching white wheels, make this
one look like it's trying to appear innocent, but we all know
better. Those dual blue racing stripes are iconic classic American
that also remind you of the Viper's true all-out sporting nature.
Best of all, this one-owner car was so well cared for that the
paint's condition tells you it never hit the track. Weight is the
enemy in this sports car, so there are racing style side curtains
and a racing cockpit cover. Plus, when you want to truly button
this one up, it comes with an Autoform removable hardtop that
matches the car, right down to the blue stripes.
Inside, it's all about the right equipment for a pure speed
machine. The black leather bucket seats keep you planted behind the
wheel, and there's no room for sliding around in an interior that
completely envelopes the driver. Your arm fits so that your
favorite resting spot is right on top of the gear leaver. A full
gauge package is at eye level, and the black-on-white background
readouts couldn't be simpler. There is room for a bit of luxury
such as keyless entry, original AM/FM/cassette stereo, and air
conditioning. The leather on the wheel, gearshift, and parking
brake are even in a cool blue to give you a similar accent color to
the exterior.
Tilt that large hood forward, and there's no mistaking the Viper's
gorgeous red cast aluminum intake manifold and valve covers on this
low milage example (only 22,317 actual miles). This all original
powerplant holds a nice upgrade that happened in 1996. This one is
quite desirable because the power in the 8.0-liter V10 jumped from
400 hp to 415 hp. You get complete control of this via six-speed
overdrive manual transmission that then sends the power to a beefy
3.07 limited slip rear end. This is backed up by a fully
independent suspension, large four-wheel disc brakes, power
steering, and super-sticky Michelin Pilot tires. While all of this
keeps the Viper nicely on everything from the backroads to the
racetrack, you are pure intimidation just standing still thanks to
rumbling sports exhaust. Best of all, starting in '96 it was
exiting out of the rear instead of the sides, so you don't have to
worry about burning you leg when exiting.
You'll know this is a cut-above classic Viper the moment you see
all the documentation that includes, the original window sticker,
owner's manual, warranty card, and there's even the original VHS
introductory tape! There's no finer modern muscle out there for the
price. Call today!!
