Sinister Snakeskin Green Dodge Viper
Fourth-generation Dodge Viper SRT-10 Convertible has less than 50,000 original miles.
What isn’t there to love about the Dodge Viper? A manual transmission, rear-wheel-drive, and ten angry cylinders out in front of you. Though it has been four long years since the iconic V10 roadster made its last hurrah of production, they still hold a special place in the heart of Dodge enthusiasts and general automotive enthusiasts alike. Furthermore, they often offer a chance to experience the allures of exotic car ownership without the monumental investment needed for some European counterparts. Indeed, the Viper is a legend of the automotive world. Want to own an extra over-the-top one? Great news! Here’s your chance.
This Snakeskin Green 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Convertible sold on automotive auction site Cars and Bids for $55K. At the time of writing, the bid was only at $45,000.
Tasteful Modifications, Quality Upkeep
Under the hood of the 2008, Dodge Viper sits an 8.4-liter V10 putting out a whopping 600 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. Putting the power to the ground is a six-speed manual transmission. Don’t get too crazy in the corners, though, as with all Vipers, it’s rear-wheel-drive.
Factory equipment includes staggered wheels, 18-inch up front and 19-inch in back, HID headlights, front fog lights, and metallic silver racing stripes. Furthermore, this Viper includes sport-tuned suspension, an engine oil cooler, a black soft top, and black leather and suede interior.
Modifications to the car include stainless steel oil cooler lines with AN fittings, a Pioneer touchscreen stereo system, and an added Wavetrac limited-slip differential to help put the power down properly.
The seller is offering records throughout his ownership since 2015 that detail most of the repairs and maintenance history. Furthermore, the oil and oil filter were changed less than 300 miles ago.
Finally, the steering gear was replaced during his ownership due to a leak.
Overall, this Viper is in excellent shape.
As is expected, nothing is without flaw. This is especially true for vehicles that are thirteen years old, like this Viper. The owner states that the front bumper has been re-finished in the past for repairs. Paint matching an exotic color can be tedious, but it appears this is a job well done. However, the front bumper does once again have some nicks and scrapes.
Additionally, it has some fading clear coat, minor cracking in the front bumper, a cracked driver-side fog light, scratches on the wheels, and creases in the leather upholstery. Unfortunately, that’s just how it goes with time.
A Bargain Viper?
Though this Viper doesn’t represent a museum quality or collector’s condition car, it represents something much cooler. It represents a Viper that gets driven. You know, the thing they were made for.
Considering the color and the continuous growth of the Viper’s value, we wouldn’t be surprised to see this model go well past the $75,000 mark.
That being said, we’d be hard-pressed to find a cooler example on the market in this price range!
