Yes, that millage is correct. Only 730 original miles on this super
cool, one-owner since new, attention grabbing 1996 Dodge Viper
RT/10. This Viper is in showroom condition and is one of the nicest
in the world. It goes without saying that this car has been lightly
used and well taken care of. With such little usage, there isn't
much in the way of service records (the tires are still original!).
But don't worry, this car has not been neglected; everything works
as it should and it drives like new. The 1996 Viper marks the first
year of the SR II second generation. In fact, in 1996, the Viper
was the most powerful American built sports car and is now an
automotive icon. A well known fact about the Viper is it's very raw
driving experience. With a massive V-10 engine, manual
transmission, and basically zero electronic driver aids, this car
gets wild real fast and really requires the driver to be skilled.
This Viper was purchased on January 27, 1996 from Chapman's Las
Vegas Dodge and shipped directly to Tuscon, Arizona where it has
resided in the personal collection of Bruce Caruth since new. We
have a copy of the original purchase order. This Viper cost $69,275
in 1996! This car was driven mostly to car events within Ventana
Canyon Country Club. So yeah, this car has been babied. This
particular Viper is painted in Viper Red with eye-popping yellow
wheels and decals (factory original options). The interior is black
with a stunning red leather wrapped steering wheel and shifter.
There were only 166 RT/10's built with this color combo, making it
extremely rare. The exterior condition is overall excellent. The
only blemish we noticed was a small paint chip where the hood meets
the front bumper. Beyond that, this car shows just as good the day
it was built. Mechanically, this Viper is powered by an 8.0 Liter
V-10 pumping out 415hp at 4,100rpm with peak torque at 480 ft/lbs
at 3,600 rpm. All that power goes through a rear-wheel drive
limited-slip differential. This Viper runs like new. There really
isn't much else to say here. It's only got 730 miles! The interior
of this Viper is outstanding. The leather seats are nearly perfect,
all trim pieces are solid and fit together as they should. The car
is free of any rattles or shakes. This Viper does have air
conditioning, and also comes with an extra set of keys, the
original owners manuals / books, floor mats, tonneau cover, side
window inserts and optional hardtop. This Viper is probably the
closest thing you'll find to a new car from this generation. These
early Vipers are iconic, and with the discontinuation of the Viper
nameplate all together, these cars are only expected to increase in
value. Now's the time to get in on this modern classic. This car is
available for inspection at our Phoenix Showroom. For more
