CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY TRUSTEE'S SALE

 


 

1997 Dodge Viper GTS Coupe

 

2 Owners/Carfax Certified!

 

21,152 Miles

 

8.0 V10 w/450 Horsepower!!

Tuner/Exhaust/Wheels

 

This second generation collectors dream car is exceptionally finished in Viper Red and is complemented by the signature GTS white stripes.

 

The exterior is deep, glossy and free of major noticeable damage however, it does have some blemishes that we have done our best to identify. On the outside we note normal chips across the front of the car, scratches on the front bumper, chips at the rear spoiler, and damage at the rear bumper exhaust cutout. The drivers side door seems to have a little sag to it and may need to be adjusted. This slight sag in the door has caused some gasket wear noticeable on the drivers side. Both side and rear windows are tinted and may be illegal depending on your local laws. We noticed some oxidation on the quick release fuel door. With a low hanging front bumper we do note normal driveway damage to the underside. This clearance issue may also add to the alignment of the front bumper to the hood being off a little bit. I notice if I simply apply some pressure to the underside of the front cover that the gap to the hood lines up tighter. Some adjusting and new clips more than likely will take care of it. We do not see any signs of major repair.

 

Inward, the racing style, two tone leather seats keep you planted during cornering and look great when peering through the windows. The drivers seat shows some wear at the bolster but overall everything is generally in nice condition. Please see the pictures. Factory equipment includes power windows, locks and mirrors, tilt steering, and a custom audio/video system with subwoofer enclosure in the trunk. All systems appear to function correctly but may need servicing due to age and since it has been in storage. This appears to be a non-smoker and the interior is free from any odors. We do note a couple accessory switches which may be for the stereo. We also note a microphone for a hands free type system.

In the belly of the beast resides the 8.0 liter V10 that puts out 450 horsepower. The power is delivered to the rear tires via a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Being a venerable setup, the GTS is capable of 0-60 in 4.0 seconds, 0-100 in 8.6, with a top speed of 185 mph!! ¼ mile times were noted at 12.2 seconds!! A Borla exhaust was installed on the car, and sounds beautiful whether you're driving around town or at full throttle. This car is much louder than stock so please don't expect a quiet Viper with this one. Also included in the sale is an SCT tuner that’s good for adding an additional 25 hp and torque. The Dodge Viper wasn't built for the faint of heart, although it is smooth around town, it is an absolute terror on the open road. The engine bay is very clean but does reflect the Vipers mileage. A set of aftermarket CCW 18 inch aluminum wheels are present and wrapped in nearly new Michelin Pilot Sports. The clutch feels good and the car shifts in and out of gear nicely. We did not road test the car for more than a couple hundred feet so we cannot comment on the suspension ride. The engine fires right up and runs great.

 

Although this car starts right up and appears to run well, it will need to be thoroughly inspected before hitting the road because it's been sitting in storage.
