Attention Getter

Owning this car is awesome if you want to have a real race car and get tons of attention. People of all ages love to see the car and do double takes and stare. How many Corvettes do you see daily and how many Vipers in a year? There simply is nothing that looks like a first generation Viper. Gas mileage is surprisingly good for a car with this much power, 22 hwy averaging 70 MPH. All the book values are way under priced as you will never see a Viper selling as low as they say, they are appreciating in value as the first generation becomes even rarer. Everyone asks: did you drive it last weekend, did you take it out from winter storage yet, hows the Viper?

Only buy if you're looking for a fast, collectable, low production number vehicle. This is a bare bones street legal race car! Enjoy!

MAKE SURE YOU INSPECT THE CAR

My Viper is a Hennessy Venom 500 and was inspected by Road Ready Inspections of Phoenix, AZ. After the car was delivered, my mechanic informed me it would cost nearly $5000 to repair all of the items left OUT of the Road Ready inspection report. The vehicle inspection report was falsified, fraudulent and inaccurate. Road Ready will not guarantee any of their inspections. The only guarantee they make is to take your money and provide a report that isn't worth the paper it's written on. All the Vipers I looked at had leaking head gaskets and radiator issues, so when I found one that passed inspection, I purchased it. Turns out, this vehicle also had failed head gaskets, a rotten and rusted radiator, no working sound system, a shift lever that was NOT connected to the transmission and rusted bolts and washers. If there is a lesson to learn, the first one is don't ever hire Road Ready Inspections. You'll never know if the report is true or false as they won't stand behind the inspection results....good or bad. Second, ALL Gen 1 Vipers leak from the head gasket. It's a manufacturing issue. They used the wrong gaskets, so in less then 20,000 they start to leak coolant. Just plan on replacing all the upper gaskets. When purchased. I replaced all the upper gaskets, radiator and hoses, exhaust manifold with headers, painted/sealed the undercarriage with anti rust paint, replaced the cold air intake, and changed ALL the fluids. The work has not been completed, but I did drive it about 100 miles before taking it to my mechanic for a real inspection and fix. Once the car is complete, it will essentially be a new car as it has only 10,000 original miles. I'll have the racing stripes done and have it detailed. There should be no other major issues according the MY expert. I look forward to driving it on nice days.

92' Viper's Review

This vehicle performed out of the ordinary and was extremely fun to drive. It was a powerful gas guzzler. And not very comfortable due to it's performance.
