2000 Dodge Viper Gts on 2040-cars
Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
More details at: deloisedppetanick@wackyracers.net . This car is as perfect as they come. It's never been in any accidents or had any need for any mechanical work other
then normal maintenance.
I have owned this car since 2011 when I bought it from an owner of a car dealership here in Kansas City. I myself
am a manager at a major Dodge dealer here in KC as well. This car has been handled with kids gloves since day one,
it's had a few owners, but that's how these investment cars work. Let me first give you a history of why I bought
this specific car. As part of the Viper Club of America I had heard too many stories of guys who buy these cars
with a thousand miles on them and they take them out and they start leaking from everywhere! I specifically chose
this car because it had 27,000 miles on it when I got it, and what this means is that the owners drove this car
about 2500 miles a year. This is important because these cars need to be driven, not just sit, that is extremely
hard on these cars! If you look at the vehicle history report above, you will see the miles are exactly as you want
to see them over the years. It only scores low on their scale because of the number of times it's been registered,
but again, this is an investment car. So, I've put about 2000 miles a year on it since I got it. As Jay Leno says,
"We are caretakers of these cars for the next owner", and that's what I always do, they are better when they leave
me, then when I got them. This Viper doesn't leak a drop of anything, and never has!
The oil has been changed every 3000 miles on the dot with full synthetic. The air has always blown cold. There has
never been one mechanical issue with this car, nor a single check engine light. The car is completely unmolested,
other then two items I'm aware of, the stereo was replaced with a touch screen DVD fold out (A good thing) and the
inlets for the cold air intake were switched over to smooth tubes, which is a no-brainer on these cars, and could
be put back in five minutes if desired. Nothing but 91 octane has ever been used for fuel. The only thing I've ever
replaced with an OE part was a window switch, it was a little sticky, and as I mentioned I am a manager at a Dodge
dealer and we have a certified Viper tech who put it in. At the same time I had him go ahead and change all fluids
including a complete coolant flush.
Now the paint... This car is one of only 280 black GTS's ever built! This is the other reason I bought this car,
it's my color. Now here are the rules that go with the car, just as they were handed down to me. The car is only
washed as a last ditch effort, with no other choice. (It has been washed by me three times in four years.) Now,
what you do is blow off any dust with a leaf blower first, very important at any time before touching the paint
with anything! Then you pre-soak the car before allowing soap to drop down on the car from above. Now you never,
ever use a rag, a sponge or anything other then your bare hands on the paint while washing. Lots of soap dropped
from above and then run your bare hands over the whole car, and feeling for any dirt spots as well. Now, the car is
rinsed with distilled water only! This is to make sure no hard water remains on it. After this you dry it with a
blow dryer! I take it to a local very nice car wash that has the hand held dryers, in no way do you run rags down
this paint. After all is said and done the only thing that ever touches the car is your bare hands. Now when
removing the car from the garage for a drive, just as before use a leaf blower to blow off the dust first, very
important, then use nothing but very thick microfiber towels to just brush off the dust, you never push down!
So you might wonder why I take the time to write out how to wash a car, but this is the reason this fifteen year
old black paint looks brand new! It's literally a one foot car, which means you have to be about one foot to see
anything other then a glass surface! There are no chips in the nose, there are no bug marks, there is no paint fade
on the exhaust covers, or anywhere else. Now I'm not going to get into waxes because everyone always has their own
opinion, but I will tell you this car has had absolutely no paste waxes or oxidation removers, only high dollar
liquids specific for black cars such as Maguires and only special cleaners such as Winners Touch I've only ever
seen available through our dealership. Also the headlights are perfectly clear with no cloudiness at all, you still
see the rainbow in the lenses!
It has BF-Goodwrench G-Force Super Sport fronts, and Nitto NT555R Drag Radials out back with less then a thousand
miles on all four. The originals were just getting weather checked so I replaced them.
I don't need to sell the car, I'm only putting it out there in case I want to look for something else. I own other
investment cars as well, and many more different collector cars over the years. So I own them, enjoy them and care
for them, then move on to something else.
If the car doesn't sell here, I'm considering putting it on our showroom floor and marking it up and putting it in
our inventory which would open it up to a much larger audience, I just don't like little fingerprints! lol...
So if you want a showroom quality investment grade black Viper GTS then this is the one to have. The last true
supercar without all that driver assist crap!

Dodge Viper might not live past 2017
Wed, Oct 14 2015The Dodge Viper might be running out of venom because the muscle-bound sports car could be on the road to being cancelled in just a few years. According to Allpar, the proposed deal between the United Auto Workers and FCA US would close the Connor Avenue Assembly plant, which produces the Viper, in 2017. The proposed union contract doesn't give a reason for closing the factory, but the decision is understandable if frustrating. The plant was idled twice last year to reduce production of the Viper to match flagging demand. A $15,000 price cut for the coupe eventually allowed for a sales surge, but that appetite hasn't continued in 2015. From January through September of this year, the company has only moved 503 of the sports cars, down eight percent. To further spur demand, Dodge has employed a few other tactics like the 1 of 1 program for buyers to personalize their Vipers, and the introduction of the brutally track-focused ACR. In a world where high-end sports cars are continuing to get friendlier for both their drivers and the environment, the Viper remains a holdout with a big, naturally aspirated V10. Even with the addition of some electronic aids on the latest Vipers, the snake still demands respect from those behind the wheel. Respect is fine, but sales are what matter to FCA – and the harsh reality is that a lack thereof might force the Viper into retirement, whether we like it or not.
Dodge recalls 121,603 examples of Dart for loss of brake assist
Fri, Dec 4 2015Dodge will recall 121,603 worldwide examples of the 2013-2014 Dart with the 2.0- and 2.4-liter engines because of possible loss of power brake assistance. The company reports two minor injuries and seven accidents potentially related to this problem. The affected models have build dates before Jan. 24, 2014. There are 105,458 of these vehicles in the US; 11,996 in Canada; 3,705 in Mexico; and 444 outside of NAFTA. This campaign doesn't affect Darts with the 1.4-liter engine. These vehicles' brake-booster vacuum tube routing can potentially allow oil to access and eventually to degrade the brake booster diaphragm. If this happens, then the vehicles could lose braking assist. The brakes themselves would continue to work, but the driver would experience longer stopping distances. A pop or similar sound of a vacuum leak sometimes precedes the problem, according to the automaker. Dealers will inspect the components and replace the vacuum tube. If technicians find oil in the tube, they'll also swap out the vacuum pump, brake booster, and master cylinder. Affected owners will receive notice from the company within the next 60 days. Statement: Vacuum-tube Assembly December 3, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 105,458 compact sedans in the U.S. to inspect and replace vacuum-tube assemblies and certain other components, as required. Some of the affected vehicles may be subject to oil migration that could affect their brake systems' power-assist feature. Foundation brake function is unaffected. However, if this condition occurs, the driver may notice hard pedal-feel on brake application, and longer distances may be required to stop the vehicle in emergency situations. An FCA US investigation identified certain model-year 2013-14 vehicles equipped with 2.0-liter and 2.4-liter engines, may have brake-booster vacuum-tube routing that inadvertently allows oil to reach the brake booster diaphragm, if ever the vacuum-pump check valve fails. Oil may degrade the diaphragm and lead to a loss of brake-assist – a feature that helps reduce stopping distances. FCA US is aware of two minor injuries and seven accidents that are or may be related to this condition. The recall is limited to model-year 2013-14 Dodge Dart sedans produced before Jan. 24, 2014. It also affects an estimated 11,996 cars in Canada; 3,705 in Mexico and 444 outside the NAFTA region. Vehicles equipped with 1.4-liter engines are excluded.
Mopar maneuvers into SEMA with a multitude of modified models
Wed, 05 Nov 2014As the aftermarket and performance arm of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Mopar has a duty to extract everything from the company's models that it can, and there's no better place to show all of its work off than the annual SEMA Show.
Dodge really gets in on the act this year with several customs to show off different parts of the brand's performance heritage. Perhaps the most interesting among them is the track-prepped Viper ACR Concept (pictured above). It wears a custom body kit to produce even more downforce, thanks in no small part to a monstrous wing at the back. To shed weight, most of the interior is stripped out, as well. Next up, the Challenger T/A Concept takes inspiration from '70s Trans-Am racing in a livery of Sublime Green and matte black paint. The center scoop in the hood keeps the 6.4-liter V8 fed with cool air, and the special's 20-by-9.5-inch matte black wheels keep it planted in the corners.
Also getting the once-over from Mopar is the Charger R/T. It wears the division's body kit, and under the hood, a cold-air intake keeps the 5.7-liter V8 breathing. The suspension is retooled to hold the road better with a coil-over kit, upgraded sway bars and strut tower braces for the front and rear. The company is also showing off a snazzy blue Charger with a mean look. The final Dodge getting work from Mopar is the Dart R/T Concept with bright, O-So-Orange paint and a matte black hood with a scoop hooked directly to the air intake. The performance-oriented design is finished off with a coil-over suspension and big brake kit, as well.
