Overview

The Viper was like nothing else on the road when it deputed in 1992.  It had just 2 seats, side exhaust pipes, no outside door handles, no windows, no traction control, and no apologizes.  Dodge had worked with the great Carroll Shelby to create this monster.  It had a new 8.0 liter V10 engine mated with a 6-speed manual transmission.  The first generation, 1992-1994, was not the best of years for the Viper.  With steadily increasing production numbers, with the most being built in 1994 with 2,890.  1994 was also the first year that Air Condition was an option.  Despite the low production numbers, the Viper was a hit with customers.  It is still being produced today, but the 1st generation cars are more sought after now than when they first came out. 

The car available here is your chance to get a brand new 1994 Dodge Viper.  With only 507 original miles on this car, it isn’t even broken in yet.  It even still wears its original tires.  You will not find a better example of the 1st generation Viper.  If you’re a collector this is a must have or if you’re somebody that dreamed of having one when they first came out, this is your chance.  It is like buying one brand new in 1994.  This is a one owner car that was only used a few times a year for parades and simple joy drives.  It was always garaged kept and never saw rain. 

Exterior

As you can imagine the exterior on this car is amazing.  If there are any flaws, they came from the factory.  The paint is spectacular, no scratches, dents, or chips to speak of.  The doors, hood, and trunk all shut firmly and have good gaps.    

Interior

The interior is perfect.  The car was garaged kept and cared for, so there is no fading or discoloration on the interior plastics or leather.  The radio works great, all gauges work, and all lights work.  The soft top and side curtains have never been on the car, nor as the tonneau cover.  The tonneau cover is still in the plastic from the factory.  The top and side curtains are in the travel bags still as well.  The side curtain windows are clear and show no sign of discoloration.  All the bows for the top are also in the big with the top itself.

Mechanicals

The car runs flawlessly.  We have not driven it but a few miles, due to its extremely low mileage.  We do not want to add any more miles than needed.  Unfortunately we have not service records for any maintenance, but all the fluids are clean and full.  We would recommend a full service and for sure new tires if you plan in driving the car regularly.  The tires do not seem to be flat spotted or out of round, since it was used on a yearly basis, but given they are original to the car their age would be an issue if used regularly.    

Literature and Extras

Every book, manual, and even the VHS tape that came with the car showing how to operate the hood, install the side curtains, rear glass, top, and tonneau cover. The car also come with a factory service manual in a Viper hard case binder.  The spare keys, which are still in the plastic pouch.  We also have the original window sticker and delivery paperwork for this car.  The spare tire and all the accessories are in the trunk. 

Conclusion

You are not going to find a better example of the 1st Generation Viper.  It is a time capsule that can’t be replicated.  The Viper is a rare case where they are collectible while they are still in production.  This is your chance to own a new 1994 Viper RT/10, just 10 years later.

MotorWeek relives '80s coupes with Dodge Daytona, Ford Escort EXP

Thu, Aug 6 2015

Get ready for a wave of nostalgia and the rapid realization of the huge progress in performance cars over the last 30 years. For its latest Retro Review, MotorWeek takes a look back at two, front-wheel drive coupes from the '80s that seem to have entirely vanished from the roads today. Both the 1986 Dodge Daytona CS and the 1986.5 Ford Escort EXP were considered affordable, sporty options in their day, but the passage of time hasn't been kind to either of their specs. The Daytona certainly looks the part of a performance machine with a body that's reminiscent of other '80s coupes, like the third-gen Chevrolet Camaro. However with 146 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque from a 2.2-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, acceleration wasn't exactly a strong suit. MotorWeek complained about copious torque steer, as well. The optional CS suspension upgrade package on this Daytona was apparently a nod to Carroll Shelby who was working with Dodge at the time. If anything, the Escort EXP withstands the test of time even worse. As a two-seat coupe, you might have expected Ford's engineers to really turn up the performance to fit the sporty image that the exterior conveyed. That didn't really happen, and depending on which model buyers ordered, they got either 86 horsepower with a 1.9-liter engine or the "high-output" version of that mill with 108 hp.

For his last act, Marchionne will outline an EV/hybrid roadmap this week

Wed, May 30 2018

MILAN/LONDON — Fiat Chrysler (FCA) boss Sergio Marchionne is expected to outline new plans for electric and hybrid cars in a strategy presentation on Friday, aiming to ensure the world's seventh-largest carmaker remains in the race in the absence of a merger. The 65-year-old will present FCA's strategy to 2022, his final contribution to the company he turned around and multiplied in value through 14 years of canny dealmaking. After failing to secure a tie-up he said was necessary to manage the costs of producing cleaner vehicles, Marchionne needs to show the group can keep churning out profits on its own, even as emissions rules tighten, SUV competition intensifies and worries around his succession abound. Marchionne had long refused to jump on the electrification bandwagon, saying he would only do so if selling battery-powered cars could be done at a profit. He even urged customers not to buy FCA's Fiat 500e, its only battery-powered model, because he was losing money on each sold. But Tesla's success and the need to comply with tougher emissions rules have forced Marchionne to commit to what he calls "most painful" spending. "FCA is way behind rivals in terms of hybrid and electric vehicles and they need to hit the accelerator to convince investors they can close that gap," said Andrea Pastorelli, a fund manager at 8a+ Investimenti. Germany's Volkswagen, Daimler, BMW and U.S. rivals GM and Ford have committed to spending billions of euros each in coming years to try produce profitable cars powered by cleaner fuels. FCA needs to present a clear roadmap, just like Volvo Cars, which ditched diesel from its best-selling XC60 SUV, launched a new electric brand and pledged to shift all brands to hybrid by 2019, a banking source close to FCA said, noting: "The tech divide determines winners and losers in the industry." Marchionne has already said half of the wider FCA fleet will incorporate some elements of electrification by 2022, while luxury marque Maserati will spearhead FCA's electrification drive by making all new models due after 2019 electric. But its plans remain vaguer and less advanced than most big rivals and some investors wonder about the capital required to make vehicles compliant, and what share of spending can go to electrification given FCA's numerous demands.

Mopar unveils Dodge Challenger Drag Pak [w/video]

Sat, Jun 27 2015

Dodge is going drag racing, and it's doing it with an all-new version of the Challenger for NHRA's Sportsman class. FCA's Mopar parts and performance arm announced the new Challenger Drag Pak Friday, showing off a version with a 354-cubic-inch (that's a 5.8-liter, by the way), supercharged V8 and a 426-ci (7.0-liter), naturally aspirated V8 – both Hemis, of course – that can get the big coupes through the quarter-mile in "the eight-second range." While the two engines deliver similar performance, at their base, they're quite a bit different. The supercharged model uses a cast-iron block, while the 426 has aluminum for both the block and head. That said, both models get customized engine calibrations, and are mated to unique, race-spec automatic transmissions. But drag racing is about far more than just outright power. Mopar significantly updated the four-link rear suspension, adding a four-inch rear axle from Strange Engineering, along with an aluminum, nine-inch third member, while the rear-axle housing has been strengthened in general. Both the rear shocks and front struts can be adjusted for rebound and compression, too. Lightweight 15-inch wheels, meanwhile, are shod in super-sticky Hoosier drag radials, with nine inches of tread in back and 4.5 inches in front. The new Challenger Drag Pak should run the quarter-mile in "the eight-second range." In the cabin, there's an NHRA-spec roll cage, a Racepak gauge cluster, and a handsome pair of Sparco racing seats. Outside, supercharged models get blue decals, while naturally aspirated varieties get black stickers, although there's more to the new Challenger dragster's exterior than just its decals. Mopar tweaked the big-scoop hood, promising it's easier to get up to check on the engine, and the designers also added trailer tie-down straps in both the front and rear. While the dragster was the big news today, Mopar officials also announced the two enhanced Scat Pack kits for both the Dodge Charger and Challenger R/T. The 5.7-liter Hemi models gain an extra 56 horsepower and 30 pound-feet of torque in the Scat Pack 2 thanks to a new cam, valve springs, pushrods, and gaskets. The Scat Pack 3, meanwhile, adds 75 hp and 44 lb-ft, on top of the gains from the lower packages. That should be perfect for drivers who wish to snort in the face of their SRT 392-driving friends. The third stage adds a ported cylinder heads, as well as high-flow manifolds and catalysts.
