 I am listing on EBAY Motors for the serious collector wanting a one of a kind vehicle in their stable. This is John Hennessey's first Viper Venom 600 and one of his first vipers to hit the roads.. It is serial number 001 and had been in Houston since new. The car has history and racing experience. This is the vehicle that John and Roy took to the Silver State Classic on a trailer ... placed second in the unlimited class with an average speed of 165 mph ... and then drove it back to Houston & showed the world his motor was bullet proof. Don't let the "600" fool you, this car had much more HP and torque than the old magazines listed for the other 600's. I am the second owner. The original owner is still here in Houston and gave quite a rundown on the history with John and the Terpstra Brothers back in the beginning of Hennessey Motor Sports. The original miles on the odometer DO NOT represent the actual miles on the motor and drive train. This vehicle has only been maintained by Hennessy Performance Engineering, Northwest Dodge, or TNT motors (now defunct). I have most of the receipts. This car is signed by John Hennessey and is also listed in the International Viper Registry. She is still scary fast and as much torque as horse power. A/C was replaced right before I purchased the car, blows very cold. The computer was replaced in 07', wiper module replaced, wiper motor replaced, top end of motor freshened and new racing head gaskets installed, half shafts replaced, breaks gone thru, new cross drilled and slotted rotors, injectors checked, all bushings - grommets - washers - and rubber mounts replaced a few years ago at Hennessey, new rack & pinion steering assembly replaced along with the tie rod ends, new cats installed in 06', new steering pump - hoses - and solid racing bracket installed in 12', rear end rebuilt and serviced in 06', both side exhaust covers replaced with OEM new ones in 2012. This list keeps going, other than a real good paint job and new tires - shes ready for the car shows. I have many extra parts, a new/spare front fascia, all of the original accessories - manuals - and window stickers before it was shipped to Hennessey. I have more pictures and will answer your questions.

NHTSA investigating Chrysler for airbags, ignition switches

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Chrysler is being targeted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in a pair of actions that focus on over 1.2 million Jeeps, minivans and crossovers.
The first is a "preliminary investigation" that focuses on an airbag issue afflicting the Jeep Commander built in model years 2006 and 2007 and Grand Cherokee from 2005 to 2006. In total, 700,000 vehicles could potentially be affected. It's not entirely clear what the airbag issue is, with The Detroit Free Press simply stating that the restraint systems in the affected Jeeps may be "faulty."
The other investigation is what's called a "recall query" and it covers a problem that General Motors should be familiar with. In this case, there could be a problem with the ignition switches of 525,000 vehicles, ranging from 2008 to 2010 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans, to the 2008 to 2010 Dodge Journey crossover. Again, it's not entirely clear what sort of behavior prompted the 32 complaints that NHTSA has received on these vehicles.

Brand new cars are being sold with defective Takata airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

If you just bought a 2016 Audi TT, 2017 Audi R8, 2016–17 Mitsubishi i-MiEV, or 2016 Volkswagen CC, we have some unsettling news for you. A report provided to a US Senate committee that oversees the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and reported on by Automotive News claims these vehicles were sold with defective Takata airbags. And it gets worse. Toyota and FCA are called out in the report for continuing to build vehicles that will need to be recalled down the line for the same issue. That's not all. The report also states that of the airbags that have been replaced already in the Takata recall campaign, 2.1 million will need to eventually be replaced again. They don't have the drying agent that prevents the degradation of the ammonium nitrate, which can lead to explosions that can destroy the airbag housing and propel metal fragments at occupants. So these airbags are out there already. We're not done yet. There's also a stockpile of about 580,000 airbags waiting to be installed in cars coming in to have their defective airbags replaced. These 580k airbags also don't have the drying agent. They'll need to be replaced down the road, too. A new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time. If all this has you spinning around in a frustrated, agitated mess, there's a silver lining that is better than it sounds. So take a breath, run your fingers through your hair, and read on. Our best evidence right now demonstrates that defective Takata airbags – those without the drying agent that prevents humidity from degrading the ammonium nitrate propellant – aren't dangerous yet. It takes a long period of time combined with high humidity for them to reach the point where they can rupture their housing and cause serious injury. It's a matter of years, not days. So a new vehicle with a defective Takata airbag should be safe to drive, but that margin of safety decreases with time – and six years seems to be about as early as the degradation happens in the worst possible scenario. All this is small comfort for the millions of people who just realized their brand-new car has a time bomb installed in the wheel or dashboard, or the owners who waited patiently to have their airbags replaced only to discover that the new airbag is probably defective in the same way (although newer and safer!) as the old one.
