Up for sell is my 2002 Dodge Viper GTS Coupe. This car was a classic the day it rolled off the assembly line. Twelve years later there is still NOTHING like a second generation Viper GTS. 

The 2002 was the final year for the Gen 2 Viper, a much more sorted performance car than the Gen 1 that it replaced in 1996. In 2001, the braking systems were improved to better compete with the world's most capable supercars. Subsequent Gen 3 and 4 cars became more refined and laden with creature comforts to distract from the raw edge of this car. The stripe-less red 2002 GTS is THE Viper to own. 

Vipers are for drivers who crave torque and want to feel as closely connected to it as possible. It is truly a supercar by virtually any definition other than price. And it is a distinctly American Supercar.

Now let me tell you about the special features of this car. The paint is red. The interior is black. The tires are wide. And the motor is big. The tail pipes are fat and it makes a lot of noise when you press hard on the throttle. It gets really bad gas mileage. 

There is nothing subtle about this car. The 490 foot pounds of torque are seemingly available from near idle. The rush of power from any gear is exhilarating. Downshift and stand on it and it can get scary fast for the uninitiated. Let off the gas and that gurgle out back will remind you of the serious potential pushing the pedal in the other direction will deliver. It is a beast. 

This Viper GTS starts right up and runs cool at 190' all day long. It idles calmly. The T56 six speed gearbox shifts with authority, the robust clutch takes up smoothly but is more than up for the task when called upon. It is clad with fresh staggered BF Goodrich G-Force rubber; 275/35ZR18's in front and an incredible 335/30ZR18's in the back. It has upgraded Stop-Tech brakes that are strong and fade free. The air blows cold and all the controls work as intended. The Alpine radio/CD sounds good but who cares when you have that 8.0 liter 450 bhp normally aspirated ram air V10 to serenade you.

Despite its amazing performance capabilities the car is easy to drive around town, even docile if you have the restraint. There are no real blind spots and it soaks up bumps surprisingly well for a track ready car. Telephone conversations are a genuine possibility at cruising speeds. The big danger is the rubber-neck'ers in the next lane. From the fellow enthusiast to the soccer mom in the minivan; no one can resist the eye candy that is a red Viper GTS.

From a collect-ability standpoint these cars, unless seriously dogged, represent a great buying opportunity. A lower mileage car (less than 20k) can be substantially more $$ whereas a higher mileage car (higher than 60k) is only marginally less $$. Owing to the simplicity of the driveline, these cars live up to their reputation as "bullet proof". The GTS is the car to own, not an RT10. Don't let the 44,000 miles on the odometer of this car deter you. This is a up trending collector that you can DRIVE and enjoy 5,000 miles a year without apology and never lose money. 

This car is in Rowlett, Texas 75088 and is offered at a buy it now of $36,800.

Junkyard Gem: 1978 Dodge Tradesman Custom Van

Fri, Nov 4 2016

The custom-van craze was huge in California, back in the 1970s, and plenty of folks who would never have considered getting zonked on Acapulco Gold while listening to Elephant's Memory ended up buying Econolines and Beauvilles and Tradesmen with shag carpeting, bubble windows, and wild graphics. In fact, van buyers could get that stuff right from the factory. Most of those vans are gone now, but I found this used-up '78 Dodge in a self-service wrecking yard in California's Central Valley. Owners of custom vans felt strongly about their rides back in the Malaise Era. This one has the look of a vehicle that was used for beer-and-burned-meat-heavy tailgate parties at Oakland Raiders games. Such service is rough on a van. Try to picture this interior when it was new and plush, not the way it looks now. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

QB says University of Alabama offered him a Corvette to play football

Fri, 16 May 2014

The University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team could be in some hot water, following a pair of posts on social media.
The first post was sure to raise a few eyebrows on its own. It's an Instagram of sophomore running back Derrick Henry standing in front of his new Dodge Challenger (we're guessing it's an R/T based on the fender stripes). Complete with a custom set of wheels, the image was enough to trigger more than a few questions about where an unemployed student-athlete came up with the money for such a purchase. Now, this could be harmless. Henry, flush with a full-ride to Bama could have convinced his parents to get him something nice with his college fund.
The second post, though, is a straight-up accusation. It comes from former West Virginia Mountaineer and current CFL quarterback Pat White, who posted the following on his Facebook page.

Help find Kenny Wayne Shepherd's stolen 1972 Dodge Charger

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

Judging by his collection of cars, blues musician Kenny Wayne Shepherd (shown above, at left, with fellow musician George Thorogood) is an enthusiast of classic Dodge muscle cars, so it's no surprise that he is an active member of Mopar-related online communities. When his 1972 Dodge Charger turned up missing from an LA-area warehouse last Wednesday, Shepherd took to the forums of Moparts.org in an attempt to get the word out in hopes of recovering his custom classic.
The Charger was stolen along with four other vehicles, and Hot Rod reports that two women have been taken into custody since - but still no word on the car. With its blacked-out appearance (including custom Foose wheels), this car is definitely hard to miss, but Shepherd also said that the car might be even more distinguishable now due to some body damage that may have occurred as it was being driven from the warehouse lot. Shepherd's website has a full gallery of images for this '72 Charger, which also has a modern 392-cubic-inch V8 under the hood and a six-speed gearbox pulled from a Viper.
If you're in the LA area and happen to see this car, Shepherd asks that you call the LAPD West Valley Division at 818-374-7611. Here's to hoping this one-of-a-kind Charger turns up unscathed.
