1997 Dodge Viper GTS For Sale
1997 Dodge Viper GTS
Click HERE for more information about this vehicle.
With a heavy heart, I am listing for sale my childhood dream car. I bought this vehicle in March of 2014 from a gentleman who owned the car since 1998 (he was the 2nd owner, first owner only owned about a year). The car spent all of its life in Southern California prior to my ownership in Arizona. The vehicle was all factory, down to the air filters when I bought it with 21k miles on it. I searched for months to find the PERFECT blue/white Viper GTS to build from the ground up, and will never forget the day I bought the car and drove it home. This is clean title, no accident, 3 owner Blue/White Viper GTS. A No-Story Car.
I had absolutely no intentions of ever selling this car, but being an avid enthusiast, I get bored with projects when they are 100% complete and this car is now 110% complete. I set out to build the ultimate Gen2 GTS and feel confident to say that I succeeded in that build with this car. The car is an absolute animal, and without a doubt the most responsive/fun vehicle I have ever owned/driven. With all of the power and the 3.55 gears that were installed, the car has endless amounts of torque at any RPM and any gear, no matter the speed. Touch the gas pedal and you are instantly rewarded with gut-punching thrust and symphony-like tunes spewing out of the exhaust. I have spent years perfecting every component of the vehicle I thought was underwhelming from the factory (brakes/suspension/engine/etc), and the combination of parts I\'ve gathered work tremendously together. Every single gear pulls like a freight train, this Viper isn\'t for the faint of heart.
The Viper underwent a full engine re-build (forged internals, cam, higher compression, etc) summer of 2017 at AC Performance in Murrieta, CA. I had the car shipped to/from the best Viper builder in the country as that was the only shop I trusted with my Viper. All documentation/receipts are in hand, and you can even reach out to Todd (the shop owner) if you have any questions about the entire build. The only hands to ever work on this car were myself, Joe @ CordesPerformance (local to AZ) or Todd @ ACPerformance (Murrieta, CA).
The vehicle is ready to go and needs absolutely nothing. I just purchased another dream car of mine (2009 Viper ACR) and the wife said that one of them has to go, so I\'m going to hand off the completed build and begin on my new journey with the new ACR Viper.
