Well, I never thought I would sell this gorgeous car. I always thought I would be at a car show at 70 years old telling people the story about when I bought it in my 20s, showing all of the original paperwork and feeling nostalgic. This 1998 Dodge Viper is a TRUE collectors item,and destined to triple in value! In 1998 there were only 854 VIper GTS vehicles made and sold. This is ONE of those limited few! I purchased this car myself NEW at John Gunning Manassas Dodge in Virginia. I have EVERY piece of merchandise that you could have possibly have gotten with it! The original Window sticker, original warranty cards,sales records, temporary plates, Service contract paperwork, business cards, original manual....yes, EVERYTHING.
I am a car guy and have a lot of American muscle cars, old and new...but this one was pampered like no other. Can you believe THIS DODGE VIPER ONLY HAS 7700 miles! Yes, 7700 miles.
I have taken care of this car over the last twenty years as great as I possibly have could have. It has never been in rain or any inclement weather. Everything Wiped down ( including the undercarriage) any time it was out at a show or something. For it\'s entire life, It has only been garaged in a temperature controlled environment. The gorgeous Viper Red paint is like new! It does have the normal wear of a 7700 mile car /20 year old car, but seriously close to new. The same for the interior, it looks very close to new, seats have no wear,( I found one wear mark on the leather shift boot - it is all I see). Bottom line, The exterior and interior of this beauty are very close to NEW...it actually still smells new.
This Viper is fast, we all know that. You\'re only thinking about buying this if you love speed and classic lines.... But to add to the speed and performance, about 10 years ago I had Jason Heffner at Heffner Performance do a Performance package ( heads, headers, Exhaust, air cleaner, and rockers.). Look up Heffner Performance, and prepare to be impressed - we are talking world class performance on world class cars. I just recently put in an aluminum flywheel and a centerforce clutch .....did I mention this car is very fast?:) . It’s makes 510hp/550tq @ the rear wheels! Like I said the car is very fast and drives like new.....all while being a true head turner. I remember when I got this car. I had corvettes, which I loved, but felt like EVERYONE had corvettes. I wanted something special....and that something special was a Viper! Think about it....only 854 of these made in 1998, while there were 30,000 corvettes made. Rare and special! This car is a true head turner. There is never a time that i take it out that people on the road aren\'t waving and giving the thumbs up and asking questions. It looks brand new due to the classic design.....not dated, literally like new.
The wheels and tires are in great condition. Like I said I have owned this car for 20 years and it has basically carefully been preserved in my garage it’s whole life. I have inspection stickers. There have been NO accidents. I have had the side seal professionally painted because of a small trailer scrape, but that is it.
Like I said ,I had never planned to sell this car- I’ve owned it 20 years- and have taken care of it immaculately. This is a rare find - so If you want a true piece of DODGE HISTORY, don’t miss this one! It will be hard- if not impossible to find such a low mileage beauty, and since they are no longer making Vipers, it is destined to be a classic that triples in value ( thinking about one day when I am watching Barrett Jackson or Mecum and I have to pinch myself ( and my wife, lol) when it sells in the 6 figures on some big baller auction one day. Sigh. Oh well...my loss is your gain, and I am praying that someone who will love it like I do will end up pampering it and having great stories to tell of their own. I have lots of amazing Viper Magazines and books ......the July 1994 Motor Trend ( First full test of Viper GTS), 1996 automobile ( Viper GTS vs The World), the 2000 Road and Track ( Viper cover Road tests of 2000), 1996 Autoweek ( Dodge GTS), and the Winter 1999 VIPER- The Quarterly Magazine for Dodge Viper enthusiasts) and the creme de la creme...the 1998 Dodge Viper authentic original show book ( got it at a car show and was thrilled) .Any questions at all, please call Mark at703-343-6950 And I am happy to help you with anything.
