Vehicle Description
Quite likely the wildest high-performance car produced by an
American manufacturer since Shelby's Cobra, the Viper was
comprehensively modernized after a two-year hiatus and relaunched
in GEN V form on the "VX" platform by Chrysler's SRT (Street and
Racing Technology) Division for 2013. Debuted at the 2012 New York
Auto Show, the Viper carried on as Chrysler's "halo car" until
production ceased in 2017. Carrying the "0001" VIN suffix, this
awesome 2013 SRT Viper GTS was the first car built by the men and
women at Chrysler's Conner Avenue assembly plant in Detroit. It was
purchased via Barrett-Jackson in 2012 by Scott Thomas, with
proceeds of the sale benefiting the Austin Hatcher Foundation for
Pediatric Cancer. Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne was present
for the Viper's final assembly, and he handed the Viper's keys over
to Scott Thomas, who personally took delivery. Ralph Gilles, SRT
President and CEO, who pushed for the Viper's return, signed the
passenger sun visor of this historic 2013 SRT Viper GTS. Finished
in the launch edition color of Stryker Red and packing 640hp with a
6-speed manual transmission, it presents incredibly well and turns
heads everywhere. In addition to the original SRT Viper Media Kit,
its offering includes photographs taken on the day of delivery with
all the factory workers posing behind the car, the original
manufacturers brochures and other memorabilia from the 2013 Viper
launch event, including pictures of Sergio Marchionne personally
handing the car over to Scott Thomas. In addition to clear bra
paint protection, the Viper includes a hard-wired trickle charger
and original car cover. It has 1,816 actual miles. All warranty and
recall service work has been performed, duly confirmed by the
Viper's clean CARFAX vehicle-history report. Numerous online
articles and videos also document the Viper and its delivery
ceremonies, confirming this car's unique provenance as the first of
the last V10 SRT Vipers ever produced. From The Scott Thomas
Collection.
