Beautiful, lowered with Eibach springs and 20" Forgestar F14 wheels and almost new Toyo Proxxes R1's (over $3000 cost), menacing triple black , thousands in performance upgrades with no customization, BY PRIVATE OWNER (NO DEALER FEES, etc.)  and best of all, it's not red!  This car does have a Rebuilt title from very minor rear suspension and damage to original wheels. The damage was repaired over 1 year ago by top Viper specialists (74auto) and the car has been driven many miles since with absolutely no issues. It was dealer serviced and inspected 2 weeks ago (service records in hand), and recall N13 just completed (air bag check), all passed 100%. No evidence of airbag deployment ever and  I cannot see any evidence of paintwork except the front bumper cover which was just redone due to normal Viper rock chips/scrapes, and as any painter will tell you: Black color gives PERFECT paint match (not like red, black is black).  So the nose looks new (see pics) meaning you may want to put 3m clear film or bra, if you plan to drive it home. This car is just a couple of inches off the ground, and the 20 inch Matte black finish Forgestar wheels (19 front) look like the new SRT wheels (e.g. Hellcat) and combine to give it an exotic, menacing look, and I am always surprised how virtually every person you encounter must make some kind of comment on the car...many think it is new, the black finish and panel fit is superb (I have owned 8 other Vipers since '94-this is my last and by far the best and the strongest-I am just too old now...approaching 60.I prefer the 2003-up cars by so much, because they were finally able to correct the nagging items on the first gen-cars, much better aerodynamics/ergonomics, e.g. you can drive this car at high speeds w/the top down in comfort, while the 02 and down cars were like wind tunnels at 60mph and not true convertibles, and worst of all was the appearance w/the bulky hardtop in place...). 
Complete Performance exhaust, much louder than stock, fantastic V10 sound,  not sure if Corsa/Mopar- has stainless tips at the exit (nice cosmetic upgrade over stock), including aftermarket quality headers (thicker polished stainless at the flange (see pic) I did not remove heat shielding, K&N twin conicals and polished smooth tube intake (14+ hp), this is the factory Mopar Performance 44+ hp kit: Headers, cat back exhaust , reflash ECM , and P4510171 cam (7hp+-could not confirm exact cam) , see=> "mopartsracing-com/parts/viper.html". I am fairly sure the factory "H"pipe is gone with this system, as the cabin is cooler than others I've driven. A/C is nice and cold. Stereo has had an MP3 /Ipod attachment discreetly added hidden in console.Not sure if CD player works, radio does,  I use MP3. Navigation unit for this car is only about $325 common on Ebay (same unit in Jeeps) if you must have one. Interior looks totally stock, driver seat is excellent with no outer bolster damage (commonly seen as heavyset folks grab that left most bolster and squeeze it trying to hoist themselves out of the car). The only part of the car that shows any significant wear is the driver's floormat...it's not bad but for $75 you could throw in a new OEM set of mats and this car is ready to park in your museum or car show, as an investment...but driving it is addictive!!! 

Please call 505-426-6677 with any questions (evenings, we are on Mountain Time zone). Title in hand, private owner, no b.s. dealer profit fees, and also tax/registration savings, w/private owner who has been selling on Ebay for OVER 10 YEARS w/100% positive feedback. If you arrive/inspect car and feel it is not fairly represented, I will refund your deposit 100% and cancel transaction no problem,no worries.

I will try to take more pics, but my Kodak is not the best camera, and I live on a ranch in the middle of nowhere, (but near interstates I-25 and I40), my "driveway " is 2 miles long and unpaved, so even though the car is always garaged/covered , the car is a little dusty sometimes, after you get it back to the big city you can detail it to perfection. In the interior photos I didn't vacuum or armor-all it or any of those dealer "techniques" .The interior is in near mint condition, you can detail/shine it up to look like a 2010 no problems. The beauty of this car comes through even without fancy dealer photo shoots...
Please don't  call me w/"lowball" offers, this car is already at the  lowest price point for these cars even w/all the extras and no dealer costs. This car is even lower than many of the old 400/450hp cars yet the build quality, fit and finish is significantly better and the performance with the added power and vastly better aerodynamics (especially w/ the Eibach lowering/performance springs) is a huge premium. I can also help w/transportation or delivery and generally help get you into this car any way I can within reason . Everyone should enjoy a pure pleasure car like these at least once- I never regretted any of mine.

 Also...the last pictures shows the set of 2009 factory "Razor" wheels I also have for the car. 
Just google "viper razor wheels" to see more pics. If you prefer these wheels over the forgestar 20's I could lower the price. I actually prefer the Razors (I was going to put on an OEM 2009 hood, and have a complete update to 2008-10 factory appearance), but most people I asked preferred the 20's. The Razors have correct 2009 Michelin PS2's but the rears are only about 30% tread, whereas the Toyo's are 75-85% (6-7/32)...so that's the main reason I could lower the price for the car w/the Razors. The Razors are new OEM heels so virtually perfect cond-zero curb rash.

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board

Wed, Apr 3 2019

Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.

Why the Charger Hellcat can't be ordered with a manual transmission

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

Fans of truly irreverent amounts of horsepower will find lots to love in the form of the 2015 Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Both of them send 707 ridiculous horsepower to the rear wheels; the only question is whether you want your absurdity delivered with two or four doors. Oh, and whether or not you want the option of a manual transmission.
If you prefer rowing your own gears, the choice is made for you; there is no manual gearbox option available on the Charger Hellcat, or any Charger model at all, for that matter. Wonder why? Well, besides the fact that almost nobody - sorry, clutch fans, but it's true - would choose to buy a Charger with a manual transmission, that is? The answer, according to an industry insider in a post written on Jalopnik's Opposite Lock forum, is the floorpan.
It's probably not a surprise to most of our readers that the Dodge Challenger and Charger share a large portion of their chassis structure, which is codenamed LX at Chrysler, but there are still some significant differences under the skin due to the shorter wheelbase and two-door coupe bodyshell of the Challenger, as opposed to the sedan shape of the Charger. One of the differences is the floorpan, the huge chunk of sheetmetal that makes up the floor of the car and props up such essential items as the car's seats.

2013 Dodge Challenger R/T Redline revs into Chicago

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

When Dodge released the Challenger Rallye Redline last year, it brought a new dimension of styling to the car's classic muscle car lines, but it was only available in V6 form lacking the oomph to back up its sinister appearance. To remedy that situation, Dodge is unveiling the Challenger R/T Redline, powered by a Hemi V8 engine, at the Chicago Auto Show.
Other than the extra cylinders, most of the R/T's Redline package carries over from the Rallye model including the custom-look 20-inch black chrome wheels with red paint accents, but the R/T version of the package gets more of a retro look to the side stripes with graphite graphics featuring Redline lettering. Cars equipped with the six-speed manual transmission will get a performance-tuned, low-restriction exhaust allowing the engine to produce 375 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque; cars with the five-speed auto are rated at 372 hp and 400 lb-ft, but they do offer a bright chrome Mopar t-handle shifter and steering wheel paddle shifters.
The R/T Redline Group is offered only on cars painted in Billet Silver, Granite Crystal, Bright White and Pitch Black, and it adds just $1,995 to the MSRP of the Challenger R/T (starting at $31,990) and the Challenger R/T Plus (starting at $33,990), which adds features like Nappa leather and Boston Acoustics speakers.
