Please contact us for more information. The Dodge Viper is one of the first V10-powered cars in the world, made by the Dodge division of Chrysler. Production of the two seat sports car began at New Mack Assembly in 1991 and moved to its current home at Conner Avenue Assembly in October 1995. The car, and numerous variations, has made many appearances in TV shows, video games, movies, and music videos. Although Chrysler considered ending production because of financial problems, chief executive Sergio Marchionne announced and showed on September 14, 2010 a redesign of the Viper for 2012. The first prototype was tested in January 1989. It debuted in 1991 with two pre-production models as the pace car for the Indianapolis 500 when Dodge was forced to substitute it in place of the Japanese-built Stealth because of complaints from the United Auto Workers, and went on sale in January 1992 as the RT/10 Roadster. The centerpiece of the car was its engine. It was based on the Chrysler LA design, which was a truck engine. The original configuration made it too heavy for sports car use, so Lamborghini, then owned by Chrysler Corporation, revamped Dodge's cast-iron block V10 for the Viper by recasting the block and head in aluminum alloy. Some within Chrysler felt the pushrod two-valve design, while adequate for the truck application, was unsuitable for a performance car and suggested a more comprehensive redesign which would have included four valves per cylinder. Chrysler, however, was uncertain about the Viper's production costs and sales potential and so declined to provide the budget for the modification. The engine weighed 711 lb and produced 400 bhp at 4600 rpm and 465 lb·ft at 3600 rpm, and thanks to the long-gearing allowed by the engine, provided fuel economy at a United States Environmental Protection Agency-rated 12 mpg-city and 20 mpg-highway.The body was a tubular steel frame with resin transfer molding (RTM) fiberglass panels. It had a curb weight of 3,284 lb and lacked all modern driver aids such as traction control or anti-lock brakes. Car and Driver magazine referred to this generation as "the world's biggest Fat Boy Harley," and likened driving it to "playing ping pong with a Louisville Slugger baseball bat." Despite this, in straight line performance, it completed a quarter mile in 12.6 seconds and had a maximum speed of over 180 mph. Its However, the car proved tricky to drive at high speeds, particularly for the unskilled. The car was spartan, although it featured inflatable lumbar support and adjustable seats. Along with the absence of exterior door handles, the vehicle lacked side windows and a roof. Although a soft top cover was available, it was designed primarily for indoor vehicle storage. Side curtains of fabric and clear plastic operated by zippers could be inserted into the door and hand-bolted when needed. All of these decisions were made to reduce weight. This first year 1992 Dodge Viper is one of only two single digit Vipers known. It is rumored that the first 7 were test cars, however, we have never been able to find conclusive proof. Number 8 was sold to Lee Iacocca the then CEO of Chrystler and number 9 was sold to Robert Eaton the then Chairman of the Board. The title is still in the name of Robert Eaton. A Bill of Sale will be provided with the title. The Vehicle has 1648 original miles and has been garage covered. Special cars will likely bring more money in the long run. In 1992, according to my research, there were 21 production cars that went directly from the assembly line to Chrysler Engineering, that were utilized for testing and evaluation. Only 8 of those cars managed to make it into the hands of consumers during the past 25 years. These are the cars VIN's of the 8 cars that made it :009, 012, 033, 122, 123, 236, 249, 246. These are the VIN's that didn't: 003, 004, 008, , 010, , 015, 016, 017, 019, 027, , 041, 042, 044, 080.
