480 ORIGINAL ACTUAL MILES!!! TWO-OWNER CAR- 1996 brought forth some changes for the first generation of Vipers and with that came more power! At the heart of the snake is a potent 8.0L V10 that pushes out 450hp. Good enough for a 0-60 time of 4.0 and a quarter mile of 12.2 seconds at a trap speed of... 118mph! Keep your heart pumping as you row the smooth shifting 6-speed and listen to those 10 cylinders sing in harmony. Phase II models were upgraded bringing improved suspension and reduced braking distances. The exterior is finished in the original Viper GTS Blue coded PBE. Factory stripped with white racing stripes, this is the iconic launch color combination we all know and love. Keeping the originality throughout, the OEM Alloys remain wrapped with Michelin Pilot SX with 275x40ZR17s upfront and monster 335x35ZR17s putting that 8.0L powerhouse to the road. Slide into the interior and the collector quality grade continues. The leather bucket seats wrap around you as the white-faced gauges keep an eye on things. AC comes standard in the 1996 Dodge Viper GTS, as do power windows, power door locks, airbags, and for taller and shorter drivers alike, adjustable foot pedals. With a limited production of 1,166 Coupes in 1996. This Collector-Grade Car has a mere 480 ACTUAL MILES and a clean CarFax. The original owner's manual assorted books and receipts and two keys and remotes are included. Dodge’s Viper came from Lee Iacocca and Carroll Shelby, who had a relationship that stretched back to the ‘60s at Ford. Following their success with turbocharging front-drive Mopars in the ‘80s, and at the suggestion of Chrysler exec and world-class car nut Bob Lutz, Chrysler set out to build a Shelby Cobra for the modern era: two seats, giant engine, and precious little else-while still conforming to federal regulations. It was a back-to-basics sports car in an era when technology was seen as a buffer between driver and driving experience. Dodge’s first Viper, sold from 1991-95, was called Viper RT/10. Its all-aluminum 8.0-liter V-10, offered power (400hp!), torque (450 lbs.-ft.!) and displacement (488 cubic inches!) not seen from a factory-built car since the ‘70s. Early Vipers included leather-trimmed, manually adjustable bucket seats, large-diameter alloy wheels, and an AM/FM stereo cassette player with clock. Yet it lacked airbags, air conditioning, roll-up windows, and external door handles. Sidepipes let out the exhaust just ahead of the rear wheels. Viper’s first facelift came in 1996 when the exhaust was routed out the back. Dodge added a new model: the Viper GTS coupe, the Daytona Coupe to the original open Viper’s Cobra. Along with the aero-slick top, GTS came with standard airbags, air conditioning, power windows, power locks, and a 450hp rating. The RT/10 gained the GTS’ equipment levels in 1997.

About Veits Vettes & Collector Cars

Our cars are specialty cars ...collector cars...award winning original automobiles...show stopping restored autos... and newer highline Specialty cars! We scour the country for those rare gems.

That beautiful Corvette, or Chevy, Ford, Pontiac, Mopar Muscle Car, Restomod, Pro Touring classic, maybe a Survivor that makes you just burst with pride. How about those rare one-off's or super limited production models or the fun micro cars, even the heavy iron cruisers, or sporty modern styles all the way to exotics? We can find anything!

We have collectors all over the world that offer to sell us these cars. In fact that’s how we get most of our cars, from collectors. We avoid auctions whenever possible because we know that’s where sellers take their misrepresented headaches, problems cars they cant sell locally. But when you sell cars of the quality we do, at a price we hope is competitive, as we try to always do, the buying and inventorying becomes particularly hard. We peruse car clubs, newspapers and word of mouth everywhere we go. It's not at all unusual to drive hours out of our way, to look at 1 car. Sometimes, that drive is really worth it. Small towns can have rare gems. You have to look at a lot of cars, in order to buy only a few. That's a lot of crawling in and under to find the right stuff. But that's ok. We're fussy – because our customers expect it of us. They rely on that.

Many of our clients are repeat buyers. They already are lucky enough to have 1 or more "toys" purchased from us. Sometimes they want to add to their collection, sometimes they just want a different one to play with, or they want to trade. Whatever, their reason, we've got the answer. We've got the investment car. You can drive ours right off the floor and enjoy a day in the sun or take them to a car show, with pride. Lots of our cars have won trophies, regionally and nationally for their new owners.

Of course, we get walk-in sellers too. Someone has a car they have grown tired of, or perhaps they inherited a car they really don't want. Perhaps they just need the money. If that's a specialty car - if it's been lovingly cared for, and is either a collector car, a muscle car, exotic, a hot rod, a classic, a foreign, or an antique automobile - be it a sedan convertible, t-top, targa top, hard top, coupe, convertible or roadster...we're interested.

Our customers come from all walks of life and all parts of the world. Most of the time a new client can't physically come to inspect a particular car. That's ok, we'll walk around it and describe it to them, over the telephone and or Facetime. We have a reputation for giving only honest information, when describing our beauties without leaving anything out.

We do have some customers that leave disappointed....Sometimes a customer wants a 'fixer-upper". Sorry, we simply don't carry those. We don't have those "Winter Projects". The closest we can come to that, is a show worthy, drivable, almost perfect car that someone wants to make into a totally flawless show stopper. It will never be allowed to get dusty - not even the engine. Those buyers will feel like they're in a candy store. 

It is our top priority as collectors ourselves, to describe all of our vehicles accurately, to the best of our ability. Even though we scrutinize each car before we buy it, we resell cars, we do not restore or warranty them. Therefore we cannot guarantee any of the claims made by previous owners, their agents, or consigners. We recommend that any individual, contemplating purchasing any used car or collector car- from us or anyone else - to either inspect it themselves, or send a trustworthy individual, to verify that it’s description is accurate. If you have trouble locating such an individual, we will be happy to recommend an impartial, unaffiliated individual or firm to assist you .

Okay, you've dreamt about the car you saw here. You can afford it. You can't stand it - you just gotta have it. But now what? You don't want to drive it all the way home. We'll either ship it to you ourselves, or arrange for shipment via a major enclosed car shipper. These shippers do nothing else but ship cars - of all price ranges. They're good, dependable, careful and fully insured. Drivers tell us constantly how cars being delivered, from other sellers, often bring tears of regret to the new owners. But when they ship OUR cars, the proud new owners are never disappointed!!!! We get phone calls all the time, from our clients telling us their joy at the car being just what we said it was.
