Beautiful, 2-owner GTS Coupe with only 3,500 original miles! Oneonly 1,166 first year coupes ever produced! Instant futurecollector piece!Currently fitted with modern 19" HRE PerformanceWheels! Choices were few in the high-performance rear-drivetwo-seat sports car class in the early nineties, but Dodge answeredthe cries from the public with an 8.0-liter V10 engine poweredmonster. America's biggest and most powerful production engine todate, it delivered almost 400 horsepower and only came mated to a6-speed manual gearbox. Exposed exhaust pipes ran along the rockerpanels, adding to the Viper's no-holds-barred appearance. Bodypanels were made of fiberglass-like composite materials, bonded andbolted to a tubular steel frame. Antilock braking and a driver-sideairbag were unavailable. Red was the only available body color atfirst, and Vipers did not even have exterior door handles orroll-up windows. Standard equipment included an FM/AM stereo withcassette player and leather upholstery. Vipers filled the needs ofmany, and left the sports car community in awe, as they had seennothing like it since Shelby's 427SC Cobras of the 1960's. A newversion would be introduced in 1996 as the GTS Coupe. A gorgeousshape with a more powerful 450hp V10 engine under the hood, only1,166 lucky buyers would have the chance to own one. Being a coupe,air conditioning became standard, as did power windows & locks forthe first time. Safety measures also added airbags for bothoccupants. Finished in the factory original Viper GTS Blue Pearlexterior with Stone White stripes, and complimenting Black Leatherinterior, this Viper comes to use with just 3,580 actual miles onthe odometer! Well equipped with the powerful 8.0L V10 engine6-speed manual transmission, air conditioning, Alpine AM/FM/CDstereo, power windows, power locks with keyless entry, originalspare tire, fog lamps, tilt column, racing style fuel cap,intermittent wipers, and upgraded custom fit 19" HRE PerformanceWheels wrapped in Nitto tires measuring 275/30ZR19 up front and335/30ZR19 at the rear! Included with this special GTS coupe willbe the original owner's manuals never removed from the plastic, andthe factory set of 17" wheels & tires. An instant classic, manyearly Vipers found themselves in the hands of inexperiencedperformance car drivers, and most saw an unfortunate early demise(they hit a lot of stationary objects), mixed with the lowproduction numbers each year, it makes the originals verycollectable. To add to the rarity of this masterpiece, the ChryslerCorporation has announced that the Viper will no longer be producedafter the 2017 model year. Having been cared for by only twoprevious adult owners, the first keeping it for 20 years beforeparting ways with it just last year, and never having seenmodification or butchery, this is a rare and refreshing find. Afantastic driving car with no hidden issues, ready for road tripsor just park it as an investment piece.
