1996 Dodge Viper ‘Ketchup and Mustard’ Is One of Only 166 Built

This Ketchup and Mustard Dodge Viper is indeed quite rare, though it also looks like a rolling billboard for a fast food chain.

For the most part, the Dodge Viper remains a bit under-appreciated among collectors, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Sure, there are folks out there with nice examples of the unique sports car hoping that they’ll one day be able to cash in and add to their retirement fund, but for most of us, it’s nice that we can still buy nice Vipers for very reasonable money – then drive and enjoy them without worrying about destroying something incredibly valuable.

However, there are some rare and more valuable Dodge Viper models out there, which do garner a bit more interest from collectors. Take this “Ketchup and Mustard” 1996 Dodge Viper RT/10 that was recently reviewed by Doug DeMuro – and is now up for auction at Cars and Bids, for example. If you’ve never even heard of this special treatment – which makes the Viper look like a rolling billboard for a certain fast food chain – well, there’s a good reason for that.

Only 166 of these Ketchup and Mustard Dodge Viper models were produced, making it a pretty rare variant by any measure. That low figure may very well be due to the fact that this is a classic case of an acquired taste – not everyone is going to love this combo. In fact, the seller notes that the previous owner painted the Mustard wheels black at one point, but they powder-coated those same pieces back to the original color after bringing it home.

Aside from those uniquely colored wheels, the Ketchup and Mustard Dodge Viper left the factory finished in Viper Red with additional Mustard Yellow Viper graphics, making for a truly unique color combination. Otherwise, it’s in pretty good condition on the outside, with a few minor imperfections such as scuffs underneath the front bumper, as well as some scratches on the top of the roll bar.

Inside, these unique machines came equipped with some additional red accents on the steering wheel and shift knob, which helped tie in the exterior theme, but otherwise, it’s a pretty standard Dodge Viper cabin from this era. Of course, power comes from the 8.0-liter V10, factory-rated to produce 415 horsepower and 488 pound-feet of torque, flowing to the rear wheels via a T56 6-speed manual transmission.

With a reasonable 25,800 miles on the clock, this Ketchup and Mustard Dodge Viper is certainly a great target for anyone that believes these cars will ultimately increase in value, given its rarity – and quirkiness. Whether or not that will actually happen, however, is anyone’s guess, but at least the new owner can revel in the fact that they’ll likely be the only one in town who owns such a car.
