Description

This is a 1997 Dodge viper GTS with a rebuilt-salvage tittle, all repairs have been made and the car is currently registered and being driven in Houston Texas. This car runs and drives without issue and has been doing so since I have owned it. It was involved in an accident on the passenger side door area. There was no frame damage and all repairs were made several thousand miles and years ago. This is an amazingly fun car to drive and arguably one of the best looking cars on the road. First please do not bother with low ball offers I am not really even resolved that I want to sell this car so I won’t even consider anything under the reserve which I honestly believe is way lower than this car is worth. If you’re looking at this car you probably already know what you’re looking at so let’s go over the good and the bad of this specific vehicle.

All repairs have been made years ago before I owned the car. I have not had any problems with this car since I have owned it.

The Good:

Less than 30K miles currently the car is reading 29,046 this will fluctuate slightly as I will continue to drive it on nice days

Insurance is surprisingly cheap granted we have home some normal discounts and this is enrolled as a second car but we have far from minimum coverage and the monthly cost is only about $80 way less than my 09 Impala

New tires all the way around less than 500 miles on them

New Optima Red top less than a month old

You will get a lot of attention in this car no one believes it is 20 years old everyone thinks its a new model (other than car people of course)

Aftermarket parts (not much almost a stock car):

Slotted rotors

Smooth intake tubes

After market radio speakers and amp (original amp available if wanted)

Roe Racing power steering vent tube (google this if you plan to buy a gen 2 viper you want this)

Borla Cat back (original available if wanted will need 2nd car to transport)

HID headlights

The Bad: (these are all very minor issues but I am trying to be as honest as possible so there are absolutely no surprises)

The passenger side door needs to be closed with a little extra force (not slammed you just have to actually close it not let gravity take it) this is due to door sag and can be fixed by simply realigning the door. This really wasn’t an issue for me so I never addressed it

The plastic shroud around the door handle on the passenger side is missing. These can be bought for around 80 a set on ebay and require no tools to install they just slide on (see pics) again I didn’t really care about this so never addressed it.

The paint job is what I would call a 5 foot paint job meaning from 5 feet back it looks amazing when you get close there are several small issues some rock chips some small spots where the paint bubled and came off (see pics)

This is not the factory paint (obviously) the original car was red and you can see this in a few small spots on the car (see pics) unless your looking for these things you wont see them

On the driver side front bumper there is a small tear and paint rubbed off this is due to the bumper dragging on the driveway while backing out

There is a small oil leak I get about a dime to quarter size spot a weak at most it’s so small I didn’t think it was worth even looking into probably just a gasket this is a 20 year old car.
