The figures below were computed by an earlier build of the analysis and do not carry later corrections to it. Refreshing this case file recomputes them from the same cars.

BaT files wheels, seats, engines and memorabilia under the same model page as the cars. 18 such listings were removed before any figure below was computed — e.g. No Reserve: Illuminated Dodge Viper ACR Sign; No Reserve: Sega Viper Night Drivin’ Pinball Machine; No Reserve: Illuminated Dodge Viper ACR Sign.

Gen 2 Viper values have plateaued and are drifting down ~6% year-over-year, with a hard ceiling around $90k for driven cars and a wall of reserve-not-met coupes proving sellers still think they own $100k cars.

The market

Across 435 completed BaT auctions the median sold price is $64,501 with a mean of $71,835, a 25th percentile of $47,768 and a 75th percentile of $80,000. Sell-through is 76.8% (334 sold / 101 RNM). The model repriced violently in 2021 — median jumped from $46,375 (2020) to $70,500 — and has done nothing since: $69,999 (2022), $68,000 (2023), $65,000 (2024), $64,000 (2025), $69,000 (2026, flattered by the $1.2M ORECA GTS-R). Trailing twelve months sits at $64,000 against $68,000 the year prior, a 5.9% decline. This is a market that has stopped appreciating and is now sorting itself by spec and condition rather than rising as a whole.

The single clearest signal in the recent record is the cluster of unmet reserves between $74k and $89k on low-mileage coupes. '11k-Mile 2002 Dodge Viper GTS Final Edition' stalled at $76,251, '9k-Mile 2002 Dodge Viper GTS' at $75,851, '20k-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper GTS ACR' at $74,501, '9k-Mile 2002 Dodge Viper GTS ACR' at $84,000, and '733-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper GTS' at $88,900. Commenters called it explicitly: jpadget wrote "This is the second low mileage 2002 viper in the past couple weeks that has failed to meet reserve and only got up to 76k. I'm not sure the market is showing that these are 100k cars," and phr3dly put the floor bluntly — "The reality is, above 10K miles, 70K is the ballpark for these." Meanwhile genuinely exceptional cars still clear: '17k-Mile 1997 Dodge Viper GTS' made $105,700, '8k-Mile 1996 Dodge Viper GTS' made $108,888, '48-Mile 2000 Dodge Viper GTS' made $106,000, and 'One-Owner, 6k-Mile 1999 Dodge Viper GTS' made $90,000. The money is at the extremes of mileage and colour, not in the middle.

The spread between good and bad is enormous and driven almost entirely by body style, mileage and stories. Roadsters trade in the $40-67k band regardless of how clean they are ('No Reserve: 8k-Mile 2002 Dodge Viper RT/10' at $61,500, 'No Reserve: 9k-Mile 1998 Dodge Viper RT/10' at $55,000, '29k-Mile 1999 Dodge Viper RT/10' at $40,250). Coupes with 40k+ miles or a blemished history land in the $40-62k band ('1999 Dodge Viper GTS' 50k miles, $62,000; 'One-Owner 1998 Dodge Viper GTS' 51k miles with heavy underbody corrosion, $41,750). Anything with a branded, reconstructed or structurally-flagged title collapses: 'No Reserve: 1996 Dodge Viper RT/10' with an Oregon Totaled-Reconstructed title and a state-issued VIN made $25,600, and '11k-Mile 2000 Dodge Viper RT/10' with a 2003 disabling-damage entry could only reach $31,500 and did not sell.

Colour data is thin but directionally consistent with what the community says: Viper GTS Blue medians $74,000 (n=6), Viper Black $69,000 (n=5), Viper Red $65,250 (n=13). The transmission breakout ($64,000 for manual, n=47) is meaningless — every road car here is a six-speed. Note also that the market rewards seller behaviour: '26-Years-Family-Owned 1999 Dodge Viper GTS' had 3,800 miles, family ownership and a rare black/cognac spec yet only made $69,000 because the seller answered nothing, while '2,200-Mile 1999 Dodge Viper GTS' in the same colour combination made $86,500 with an engaged seller and a documented recommissioning.

What moves the price

Median by exterior colour

Cuts with fewer than 5 cars are left out of the two tables above: Viper Silver (exterior colour, 3 cars), Viper Red With Yellow Stripes (exterior colour, 1 car), Vapor Steel Gray (exterior colour, 1 car), Viper Race Yellow (exterior colour, 4 cars), Vapor Silver (exterior colour, 2 cars), Deep Sapphire Blue (exterior colour, 2 cars), Graphite (exterior colour, 1 car), Cloudy Blue Vinyl Wrap With White Stripes (exterior colour, 1 car), and 6 more. A median of two or three cars is not an estimate of anything, and sorted beside a real one it reads as a price difference that the record does not actually support.

Known issues

Pre-purchase checklist

• Pull the VIN through the Mopar recall tool and NHTSA yourself and demand dealer paperwork for campaigns 998 and 999; on a 1996-2000 car verify the two steering-rack gusset brackets are welded in, and that the reinforcement bracket does not block oil-filter access (2001-02 cars had them from the factory).
• Read every tire DOT date code from the photos before you bid. Assume $2,000 for a set and deduct it. Never accept 'low miles, looks fine'.
• Get the car on a lift: frame rails, suspension pickups, floor pan (look for weld patches) and fastener corrosion. Establish where the car has lived — Florida Keys and Gulf-coast cars have produced the worst examples in this record.
• Measure rocker-to-wheel-centre on both sides and compare hood-to-headlight gaps left and right. Fibreglass panels make a paint-depth meter useless, so gaps, fastener witness marks and weld evidence are your only structural tells.
• Have the fuel tank area inspected for seepage and ask outright whether the tank has ever been dropped and resealed — this does not appear on Carfax.
• Check whether the power-steering pump pulley is still the original plastic item; if metal, get the receipt and ask whether the plastic one failed.
• On 2000-2002 cars, photograph all four dampers for leakage. Dynamics are the yellow/gold units, and listings frequently and wrongly call them Konis. On an ACR, confirm the factory shock-adjustment and coilover spanner tools are included.
• Demand a cold-start video and a video of the car at sustained operating temperature. Sellers who only supply a warm start or a neighbourhood loop are hiding something or, at minimum, cost themselves money.
• Verify brake and clutch fluid have been flushed (not 'checked') and ask for master/slave cylinder history. On any car with under 5,000 miles, budget a full recommissioning on top of the hammer price.
• Confirm cat presence via downstream O2 sensors and, if you live in CA, IL or PA, make a passed emissions test a condition of purchase. Ask whether the original cats, airbox, exhaust and wheels are included.
• Test both windows fully, both doors' latches, the horn, the reverse light, the centre speaker and the A/C at idle — every one of these has failed on cars in this set.
• Press on the centre console cover behind the shifter for cracks or a soft under-support, and confirm the original shift knob and steering wheel are present; these parts are effectively unobtainable.
• Photograph the VIN suffix stamped on the passenger-side bellhousing area to confirm the block is original, particularly on any car with rebuild or supercharger history.
• Verify the stripe scheme was actually offered in that model year and check whether the stripes run inside the hood duct. Painted-in-duct means factory; skipping the duct means vinyl or add-on.
• For an ACR, Final Edition or GT2, cross-check the VIN against the Final Edition Registry or the owners group — registry-confirmed cars are the only ones earning the limited-edition premium.

Ask the seller

1. Has recall 998 and/or 999 been performed, and can you send me the dealer repair order? If not, has the car ever been tracked?
2. What are the DOT date codes on all four tires, and are you including a new set or adjusting the price?
3. Has the fuel tank ever leaked or been removed and resealed? Do you have the receipt?
4. Is the power-steering pump pulley the original plastic part or a metal/billet replacement, and when was it changed?
5. Are the original catalytic converters, airbox, exhaust, wheels and shift knob included, and can you show me the downstream O2 sensors in place?
6. When were the brake and clutch fluid last fully flushed, and have the clutch master and slave cylinders ever been replaced?
7. Are the stripes painted or vinyl, and do they continue inside the hood duct? Was this stripe scheme available from the factory in this model year?
8. Has any panel ever been off the car? Can you measure the distance from each rocker to the centre of each wheel and send me the numbers?
9. Can you send a cold-start video plus a five-plus-minute drive video showing coolant temperature and the A/C vent temperature at idle?
10. For 2000-2002 cars: have the dampers been resealed or replaced, and do you have the factory adjustment tools?
11. Why are you selling, and when did you acquire the car? If it has changed hands in the last 12 months, what did you pay and why is it moving again?
12. Can I have the engine block VIN stamping photographed on the bellhousing area, and if the engine has ever been rebuilt or replaced, the machine shop and builder invoices plus a dyno sheet?
13. Is the car currently registrable and emissions-compliant in my state, and has it passed a test in the last 12 months?
14. Where has this car lived, and can you provide photographs of the frame rails and suspension pickup points on a lift?
15. What is your reserve? Given that recent low-mile GTS coupes have failed at $74k-$89k, are you prepared to transact in that band?

Walk away when

• Sellers who set a reserve around $100k on a low-mileage GTS. Five recent cars failed between $74,501 and $88,900 and jpadget summarised it on '11k-Mile 2002 Dodge Viper GTS Final Edition': "I'm not sure the market is showing that these are 100k cars." If you see an unmet reserve in that band, the market has already told you the price.
• Rapid dealer-to-dealer churn. '733-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper GTS' went Mecum January → private buyer → Hendricks → GAA July → the current consignor inside nine months, and the seller's explanation was "we purchased it for what we believe was a fair price and intend to sell it for more." Bmec23's question is the right one: "What is wrong with the car to be passed from dealer to dealer to dealer in such a short amount of time?"
• 'Clean Carfax' presented as proof of no damage. 'No Reserve: 18k-Mile 1997 Dodge Viper GTS Hennessey' had a clean Carfax, a welded floor pan and a 1-1.5 inch wheel offset. 'No Reserve: 29k-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper GTS' had a fuel tank leak that never appeared on Carfax. '24-Years-Owned 1996 Dodge Viper RT/10 Project' had disclosed accident damage that Carfax does not record.
• Silence from the seller. '26-Years-Family-Owned 1999 Dodge Viper GTS' had 3,800 miles and a 1-of-26 spec and still only reached $69,000 because unanswered questions about mileage discrepancies, tire dates and paint went ignored for the entire auction.
• Verbal assurances substituted for receipts on big-ticket work. '14k-Mile, Paxton-Supercharged 2000 Dodge Viper RT/10' claimed $40k of engine work backed only by a previous owner's handwritten list; it made $56,350.
• Aged tires defended rather than replaced. Any seller arguing that 20-year-old Michelins are fine 'for how I drive' is telling you what else they have deferred.
• Mileage inconsistencies left unexplained. '642-Mile 2002 Dodge Viper GTS ACR Final Edition' never reconciled a Carfax reading of 4,600 miles against a claimed 642 and still made $152,500 — the next buyer inherits that problem.
• Cosmetic spend in place of mechanical repair. 'Modified, 42k-Mile 1998 Dodge Viper RT/10' had underbody LEDs, a radar jammer and a subwoofer plus a stiff clutch, a lit CEL, failed emissions and a leaking roof. Bua19 nailed it: "quite a bit of cosmetic work without addressing some serious mechanical concerns."
• Pre-sale repaints immediately before a listing on a car with damage history — '11k-Mile 2000 Dodge Viper RT/10' was repainted in July 2025 and listed in October 2025 with a 2003 'disabling damage' entry; it failed at $31,500.
• Unverifiable tuner provenance. Hennessey has told sellers directly that pre-2001 builds have almost no records. Pay for the car, not the badge.
• State-issued or replacement VINs and 'Title Only' notations. 'No Reserve: 1996 Dodge Viper RT/10' carries an Oregon-issued identification number and wnipper noted Oregon only reissues "if the original VIN is not present or legible" — which implies how bad the original damage was.
• Projects and non-runners priced as if recommissioning is cheap. sserafini's arithmetic on the 1996 project is the correct frame: "At $15k price of car, plus the cost of the engine rebuild, and then add in the cost of replacing all rubber on the car, you're looking at what you would spend on a pristine one."

Budget

Driver grade: a 30-60k-mile RT/10 with honest wear and no stories runs $40,000-50,000 ('1998 Dodge Viper RT/10' 54k miles, $40,000; '29k-Mile 1999 Dodge Viper RT/10' $40,250; '23-Years-Owned 2000 Dodge Viper RT/10' 19k miles, $47,000). A driver-grade GTS coupe with 25-55k miles is $52,000-70,000 ('37k-Mile 2000 Dodge Viper GTS' $52,500; '1996 Dodge Viper GTS' 54k miles, $59,600; '1999 Dodge Viper GTS' 50k miles, $62,000; '2002 Dodge Viper GTS' 29k miles, $73,000). Budget $2,000 for tires and $3,000-5,000 for fluids, hydraulics, A/C and the power-steering pulley on top of almost any of these.

Strong example: a sub-15k-mile GTS with documented history, completed recalls and fresh rubber sits at $75,000-90,000 ('10k-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper GTS ACR' $75,000; '3,900-Mile 2000 Dodge Viper GTS' $77,500; '14k-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper GTS' $81,000; '2,700-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper GTS' $90,000; 'One-Owner, 6k-Mile 1999 Dodge Viper GTS' $90,000). The low-mile RT/10 equivalent is $55,000-67,000 ('No Reserve: 9k-Mile 1998 Dodge Viper RT/10' $55,000; 'No Reserve: 8k-Mile 2002 Dodge Viper RT/10' $61,500; 'No Reserve: 14k-Mile 2002 Dodge Viper RT/10' $66,888). A non-Final-Edition ACR does not meaningfully exceed this band: $67,250-75,000 bought three of them.

Best in class: $100,000-110,000 buys a genuine time capsule or a blue/white first-year GTS — '17k-Mile 1997 Dodge Viper GTS' at $105,700 with Chuck Tator service history and fresh Michelins is arguably the best-bought car in the set; '8k-Mile 1996 Dodge Viper GTS' at $108,888 and '48-Mile 2000 Dodge Viper GTS' at $106,000 define the ceiling. Above that you are into registry-verified limited editions: $150,000+ for a Final Edition ACR, $200,000+ asked (and not yet achieved) for a sub-5k-mile GT2 Championship Edition. At the bottom, $25,000-35,000 buys branded titles, project cars and deferred-maintenance liabilities — 'No Reserve: 1996 Dodge Viper RT/10' at $25,600 and '24-Years-Owned 1996 Dodge Viper RT/10 Project' at $25,250 — and sserafini's arithmetic on the project shows why they are almost never the cheap route in.

Outliers

Ex–Viper Team ORECA 1999 Chrysler Viper GTS-R $1,200,000

Authentic ORECA works chassis C20 with 1999 FIA GT wins at Hockenheim and Watkins Glen, back-to-back FFSA GT championships in 2000-01, and registry endorsement from str5010 that "C20 remains at the pinnacle... for its technical authenticity to how the factory campaigned the car in 1999." It sets the top of the range at $1.2M and has no bearing whatsoever on road-car values.

642-Mile 2002 Dodge Viper GTS ACR Final Edition $152,500

1 of only 34 Final Edition ACRs, VIN-verified in the Final Edition Registry by supercarjeepguy, 642 miles and climate-controlled storage since 2006. Achieved roughly 2.4x the model median despite an unresolved Carfax reading of 4,600 miles — registry-confirmed limited editions are the one place where the premium is real.

8k-Mile 1996 Dodge Viper GTS $108,888

The best road-car result in the recent set: first-year GTS, GTS Blue/white, 8,000 miles, recall 998 completed, original window sticker and Cecil Fielder as first owner. Jeepmike called it post-sale a "Monster result based on the other 96s that have sold in the last year." Note that '9,500-Mile 1996 Dodge Viper GTS' — near-identical spec — made only $78,000 a month later because of hood misalignment, cracked front-end plastic and no service records; a 28% gap on condition and presentation alone.

48-Mile 2000 Dodge Viper GTS $106,000

A 48-mile time capsule in black (1 of 176 for 2000 per C3Lee) with a 22-year documented gap, unknown maintenance and original 26-year-old tires. The seller pulled the reserve at $103k. It sold at 1.64x the model median on preservation alone — and the buyer inherits a full recommissioning bill and the impossibility of ever driving it without destroying the premium.

2,600-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper GTS Autoform Street Coupe w/Hennessey 650R V10 $108,500

Proof that the right modified car outperforms: 1 of ~7 Autoform Street Coupes, one owner from new, over $100k in documented 2002-03 receipts and an 8.4L Hennessey 650R making 558 whp. It went for $108,500 by private offer after the reserve went unmet at $97,000, while the far less well-documented '1999 Dodge Viper GTS Autoform Street Coupe' failed at $61,500.

No Reserve: 1996 Dodge Viper RT/10 $25,600

The bottom of the honest market. Oregon 'Totaled Reconstructed' title from an October 2000 crash, a state-issued VIN, no repair records and 15-20 year-old tires. It sold for 40% of the model median, and 2DEnterprise's calculation was correct: "once you add the BaT buyer's premium and shipping... the cost exceeds $30k, making the whole thing completely irrational."

One-Owner 1998 Dodge Viper GTS $41,750

A clean-Carfax, one-owner GTS that sold $15k below the comp carguy.club supplied ($56,500 for a 22k-mile red 1998 GTS) purely because of environmental damage. Florida Keys car with frame corrosion dmastrianni assessed as a structural safety issue, a dead battery, plastic bags in the photos and no consistent-lighting images. Geography and presentation are worth real money on this model.

Modified, 42k-Mile 1998 Dodge Viper RT/10 $35,000

Well below the RT/10 norm despite 42k miles and a rare three-piece hardtop, because the seller stacked deferred mechanicals: a stiff clutch of unknown cause, a permanent CEL from cat deletes, failed Illinois emissions, a leaking roof and 14-year-old tires. ILLMAX1's post-sale "Legalized theft!" understates how much the buyer must now spend.

1998 Dodge Viper GTS GT2 Championship Edition $91,250

Reserve not met at $91,250 for #32 of 100 GT2 Championship Editions — because it has 54,000 miles and a missing front splitter whose mounting holes were filled during a November 2025 bumper refinish. Compare the 1,000-mile GT2 that failed at $203,777. meandmyredferrari quantified the psychology: "I also acknowledge it is worth $100K – $300K less that low mile examples."

Verdict

Buy the GTS coupe, buy a 1999 if you can find one, and buy miles rather than storage. The record here is unambiguous that a 15,000-25,000-mile documented coupe at $70,000-81,000 is the value sweet spot: you get essentially the same car as a 3,000-mile example at 20-30% less, without inheriting perished seals, unbroken-in internals and the psychological prison of preserving a number. 69Daytona's comment on the '2,700-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper GTS' thread is the best ownership advice in the whole dataset — he saved about $20k by buying a 27k-mile 1997 and stopped worrying about depreciating it as he drove. Roadsters are the cheap way in at $45,000-62,000 and will behave like the softest part of the market; ACRs are the trap, because sellers price them as limited editions and buyers pay GTS money for them. If you want the appreciation story rather than the driving, it lives in registry-verifiable limited editions (Final Edition ACR, GT2 CE, works racers) and nowhere else. And with the trailing-twelve-month median down 5.9% to $64,000 and reserves failing consistently in the high-$70s, there is no urgency: be the buyer who walks away from the aspirational reserve and bids on the next one.

Several caveats. The transmission median ($64,000, n=47, manual) carries no information — every road car in this generation is a six-speed. The colour medians rest on tiny samples (GTS Blue n=6, Black n=5, Red n=13) and the analysed mileage-vs-price subset is only 45 cars, so the colour premiums I describe lean as much on recurring commenter opinion as on statistics; treat them as directional, not as arithmetic. Deep comment-level analysis covers the 60 most recent sales only, which skews the failure-point findings toward 2025-26 market conditions and toward cars that attracted scrutiny; earlier years (2017-2020 medians of $29,000-46,000) reflect a completely different market and should not be blended into any valuation. I have not separated GTS from RT/10 statistically — no such breakout was supplied — so my 20-35% coupe premium is inferred from matched-mileage pairs rather than computed. Claims about production numbers (176 black 2000 GTS, 105 Sapphire Blue 2001 RT/10, 1-of-25 yellow ACRs, 1-of-51 stripe schemes) come from commenters and sellers, not from a verified source, and at least one seller publicly revised his own rarity claim downward mid-auction. Finally, the diagnoses attributed to commenters — frame damage from wheel-offset, valve seal wear from cold-start smoke, saltwater intrusion — are informed opinions from strangers on the internet. Where several experienced owners converge independently (tires, recalls 998/999, Dynamic damper leaks, brittle console plastics, the plastic PS pulley) I would act on them; where a single voice raises something (1996 wheel cracks), verify it yourself rather than repricing the car.

$90,000

2026-09-11 · 6,000 mi · manual · viper silver

A meticulously preserved, one-owner 1999 Viper GTS with period-correct performance modifications and just 6k miles, though a 14-year service gap and unexamined recall history merit pre-delivery verification.

14-year gap in service documentation (2008–2022) with minimal evidence of routine maintenance during extended non-use; mileage gain supports light driving but no receipts for fluid checks, belt/hose inspection, or preventive service during storage · Recall status initially unclear; seller had to verify via Mopar tool rather than providing recall completion paperwork upfront

733-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper GTS

Reserve not met

2026-09-10 · 733 mi · manual · viper race yellow

A genuinely low-mileage 2001 Viper with full documentation undermined by its rapid three-dealer flip in nine months, suspicious 21-year Carfax gap, dealer-grade overpricing, and dangerously aged tires that no collector should trust.

Tires are 26 years old (DOT coded 2000) · Rapid dealer-to-dealer flipping in 9 months · Car has been flipped through three dealers/owners in nine months with no credible explanation for the rapid turnover. · Seller was evasive about the odometer/gauge spec issue until challenged by commenters; explanation about US-spec cars in Canada came only after pressure.

Reserve not met

2026-09-09 · 11,000 mi · manual · viper steel gray

A genuinely rare and low-mile Viper with meticulous maintenance marred by ambiguous body panel fitment that suggests prior collision or disassembly, unresolved service history documentation, and aged tires that undermine claims of pristine condition.

Original tires aged 23 years · Tires never replaced in 23-year ownership period despite storage in Florida climate · Seller's spelling and grammar errors in responses raise communication concerns

9k-Mile 2002 Dodge Viper GTS

Reserve not met

2026-09-04 · 9,000 mi · manual · viper red

Exceptionally preserved low-mileage Gen2 Viper GTS with factory stripes and full provenance, but seller reserve of approximately $80k+ exceeded market appetite despite enthusiast praise for the platform.

extremely low mileage (9k over 24 years; 300 miles in 15 years under current ownership) warrants confirmation of garage storage and non-use · reserve not met at final bid of $75,851, suggesting valuation mismatch with market expectations

No Reserve: 18k-Mile 1997 Dodge Viper GTS Hennessey

$60,500

2026-08-25 · 18,000 mi · manual · viper red with yellow stripes

Low-mileage 1997 Viper with unverified Hennessey provenance, welded floor pan, asymmetrical suspension geometry consistent with frame damage (clean title notwithstanding), and dyno results that don't justify the claimed modifications—sold on miles and McDonald's livery appeal rather than mechanical substance.

Wheel offset / frame damage suspicion · Floor pan welding / patch · Unverified Hennessey provenance—no factory documentation; Hennessey cannot confirm details for pre-2001 builds · Floor pan welding of unknown origin and timing raises frame-damage concerns

14k-Mile, Paxton-Supercharged 2000 Dodge Viper RT/10

$56,350

2026-08-21 · 14,000 mi · manual · vapor steel gray

A visually striking and well-assembled supercharged RT/10 with desirable spec, but the seller's rapid flip after only six weeks, absence of original build receipts, and inability to articulate maintenance details raise questions about whether all claimed modifications are vetted or whether something drove the quick exit.

Seller owned car for only ~6 weeks before resale; seller states title transfer was more recent but acquisition predates it · Seller claims $40k in modifications but provides only a 'homemade list' from previous owner, no original receipts; commenter RoundHouseRealty pressed: 'Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof' and noted lack of machine shop, builder, and parts line-item receipts

3,900-Mile 2000 Dodge Viper GTS

$77,500

2026-08-20 · 3,900 mi · manual · viper red

Ultra-low-mileage 2000 Viper GTS with excellent bones undermined by non-disclosure of aftermarket stripes, deferred steering-rack structural recall, and aged original tires—clean package for a collector, but buyer should address recalls and tire age immediately.

steering rack mounting recall not completed · original tires aged and perished · stripes added post-purchase but not disclosed in initial description · recall unaddressed despite being available free at dealer

29k-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper RT/10

$45,000

2026-08-19 · 29,000 mi · manual · viper race yellow

Low-mileage first-generation Viper with honest cosmetic imperfections and recent service work, but extended storage history and dry-rotted original tires warrant thorough mechanical inspection before purchase.

dry-rotted original tires · eight-year ownership period with minimal mileage change (21k miles over 8 years) suggests extended storage · front bumper touch-ups undisclosed in initial listing

No Reserve: 1996 Dodge Viper RT/10

$25,600

2026-08-17 · 52,000 mi · manual · viper black

A rust-free, low-mileage Gen 1.5 Viper that drives straight and was properly serviced, but carries a 26-year-old reconstructed title from unknown-extent damage with a state-issued VIN that could complicate interstate titling, made affordable by its complicated history rather than its inherent desirability.

Salvage/Totaled Reconstructed Title · Tires aged 15-20 years old · No repair records or documentation from original 2000 accident/reconstruction · Extent of original damage in 2000 unknown; seller explicitly states 'we don't want to speculate'

1999 Dodge Viper GTS Autoform Street Coupe

Reserve not met

2026-08-16 · 46,000 mi · manual · black

A genuinely rare and impeccably maintained Autoform Street Coupe with documented collector pedigree, but with fitment inconsistencies, engine replacement rationale muddy, and reserve-not-met result suggesting the market is unsure of its $61k+ asking price against its modified, non-original-engine status.

Engine replacement rationale unclear · Three similar Autoform-equipped Vipers listed for sale within a week, raising questions about authenticity or market saturation claims · Seller's initial misidentification of interior builder (Tony Venzano vs. SnakeHydes) suggests incomplete provenance documentation

2,600-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper GTS Autoform Street Coupe w/Hennessey 650R V10

$108,500

2026-08-13 · 2,600 mi · manual · viper red

A meticulously preserved, historically significant 2001 Viper with rare Autoform Street Coupe bodywork and Hennessey 650R engine that fetched $108,500 in a post-auction negotiation, though lingering questions about Hennessey's early 2000s work practices and exact racing provenance warrant PPI verification.

Incomplete Hennessey full conversion · Early 2000s Hennessey work has documented quality and service issues; DrSteve200 references Hennessey's legal problems and poor customer service from that era · Uncertainty about One Lap of America racing history; str5010 questioned whether the Autoform car or a different '96 GTS won in 1998, period photos do not appear to show Street Coupe in 1998 competition

22-Years-Owned 1998 Dodge Viper RT/10

Reserve not met

2026-08-11 · 21,000 mi · manual · viper red

A genuine low-mileage, well-maintained Gen2 Viper with complete service history and clean title, undermined by very old tires that need immediate replacement and initial lack of transparency on frame recall documentation.

Tire age · Recall campaigns 998 and 999 status initially unclear · Tire age (2012–2013) suggests limited recent use despite 15k miles added in 22 years; tires should be replaced before driving · Recalls 998 and 999 documentation was not proactively disclosed; seller's answer came only after direct questioning and lack of formal dealer service record proof

Modified, 42k-Mile 1998 Dodge Viper RT/10

$35,000

2026-08-10 · 42,000 mi · manual · vapor silver

A cosmetically refreshed, genuinely low-mileage '98 Viper RT/10 with a rare hardtop and compelling exhaust soundtrack, undermined by an undiagnosed stiff clutch, ancient tires, emissions non-compliance, and a leaky roof sealed by the new owner for $35k—a bargain or a liability trap depending on clutch depth and buyer tolerance for deferred diagnostics.

stiff clutch, possible wear or throwout bearing issue · check engine light illuminated · only 500 miles driven in 7 years of ownership (2019–2026) despite being sold as a driving car · cosmetic work prioritized (audio, LED lights, radar jammer) over mechanical issues (clutch, emissions compliance)

Original-Owner 2002 Dodge Viper RT/10

$41,111

2026-08-10 · 58,000 mi · manual · viper race yellow

Original-owner yellow RT/10 with documented low mileage, clean history, and reversible modifications, but sparse service records and 24-year brake interval warrant pre-purchase inspection despite seller's credible TMU explanation.

Incomplete service records · TMU mileage title discrepancy · Incomplete maintenance documentation beyond Carfax record · TMU title flag on Carfax (though seller provided explanation and documentation)

14k-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper GTS

$81,000

2026-08-07 · 14,000 mi · manual · deep sapphire blue

Exceptionally rare low-mileage 2001 Viper GTS in dream color combo with clean history, but reverse lights, two-decade-old tires, and prior-owner engine modifications warrant pre-purchase inspection and immediate tire/electrical work.

Tires are 19-20 years old (circa 2006) · Tires 19-20 years old despite low mileage—storage longevity concern · Reverse backup light inoperative late in auction (electrical issue)

1997 Dodge Viper GTS

$66,666

2026-07-31 · 14,677 mi · manual · viper red

A well-maintained 1997 Viper GTS with suspiciously low mileage flagged for title discrepancy and minor hood fitment issues, offered transparently by attentive seller but requiring buyer comfort with branded title and unresolved paperwork history dating to 1998.

Mileage discrepancy flagged on title · Title branded for mileage discrepancy · Mileage discrepancy entries on Carfax from March 1998 and December 2004 — unclear origin and permanent mark on title history · Hood fitment issue upon acquisition — unaddressed alignment suggests previous owner did not correct it

No Reserve: 14k-Mile 2002 Dodge Viper RT/10

$66,888

2026-07-30 · 14,000 mi · manual · graphite

A genuinely rare Graphite/Cognac 2002 Viper with low miles and recent major service sold strong at $66,888, but the hasty flip after a 'lifelong' buyer's quick exit and unresolved tie-rod boot imagery merit pre-purchase inspection.

Mileage discrepancy · Quick resale after brief ownership · Quick flip after only few months of ownership despite buyer claiming lifelong desire to own one · $5,000 service required immediately after trade-in, raising questions about pre-sale condition

No Reserve: Dodge Viper RT/10 & GTS 8.0L V10 Short Block Assembly

$4,500

2026-07-23

A factory-sealed, reputation-backed complete V10 short block from a trusted Viper specialist sold at no reserve for $4,500—unverified condition due to wrapping, but strong community endorsement and original packaging suggest legitimate opportunity for a collector or engine builder.

Listing ambiguity on contents · Condition unverified due to factory wrapping · Factory-sealed engine block never opened for inspection; condition unverified · Initial listing ambiguity (marketed as 'bare block' when actually a complete short block assembly) caused buyer confusion

No Reserve: 1998 Dodge Viper GTS Track Car

$41,250

2026-07-22 · manual · cloudy blue vinyl wrap with white stripes

A salvage-titled Gen-1 Viper with undocumented frame repairs, incomplete engine build specs, and zero Fall Line sourced technical data sold for $41.25k to an experienced SVRA racer who may have gambled that hands-on discovery will answer the questions the seller couldn't.

Salvage and rebuilt title history · Frame repairs · Salvage title in 1999—early total loss suggests prior catastrophic damage · Frame repairs post-purchase with no documentation or alignment data available

1999 Dodge Viper GTS

$62,000

2026-07-20 · 50,000 mi · manual · viper silver

Well-optioned 50k-mile 1999 GTS with forged internals and sensible bolt-on mods sold by a dealer to an enthusiast buyer at fair market ($62k), clean title and Carfax, but lacks comprehensive service documentation and original wheels.

Acquired by dealer in 2026 (listing dated 2026, suggesting very recent acquisition) · Ohio title but located in Wisconsin (potential out-of-state acquisition)

2002 Dodge Viper GTS

$73,000

2026-07-13 · 29,000 mi · manual · graphite metallic

A rare graphite metallic Gen II GTS with credible care pedigree and low mileage, but unknown first-four-years history, seized control arm bolt, mystery exhaust provenance, and title complexity via trust create moderate friction that shouldered honest bidders past $73k.

control arm cam bolt seized · unknown ECU status for years 2002-2005 · mileage inconsistency on Carfax (though seller provided correction documentation) · unknown ownership and service history for first four years (2002-2006)

48-Mile 2000 Dodge Viper GTS

$106,000

2026-07-09 · 48 mi · manual · viper black

A pristine 48-mile 2000 Viper GTS time capsule with legitimate rarity credentials (176 built in black that year) that sold for $106k to a collector willing to pay above original MSRP for market-setting preservation value, though functional confirmation after 26 years of storage and aged original tires remain unverified concerns for any potential driver.

original tires aged 26 years · no service history documented in carfax · 48 miles accumulated over 26 years raises collector-grade preservation intent rather than intended use vehicle · single carfax entry in January 2023 when acquired by dealer; 22 year gap in documented history from original delivery

17k-Mile 1997 Dodge Viper GTS

$105,700

2026-07-01 · 17,300 mi · manual · viper gts blue

Exceptionally clean, single-owner Gen 2 GTS with 17.3k miles, stellar provenance through a premium Viper specialist, original paint, and no disclosed accidents—a textbook poster-car example whose only lingering concern is 30-year-old clutch hydraulics that have so far passed inspection but remain latent risk, ultimately rewarding a disciplined buyer at market-clearing auction price.

Potential clutch hydraulics age concern · No documented replacement of clutch hydraulics (master and slave cylinders) despite car being 30 years old with original rubber seals · Dashboard repaint in 2020 suggests possible prior wear/deterioration

25k-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper RT/10

$57,000

2026-06-30 · 25,000 mi · manual · sapphire blue

A beautifully preserved, low-mileage Sapphire/Cognac Viper with tasteful, reversible modifications and compelling collector appeal that justified strong bidding ($57k) despite aging tires and title complications requiring new owner navigation.

Age and condition of tires · Title remains registered in California despite Nevada residence since 2018; seller did not transfer title, creating potential complexity for new owner · Tires are 8+ years old despite low mileage; while seller argues they are safe for light driving, new owner intending spirited driving should replace immediately

2,200-Mile 1999 Dodge Viper GTS

$86,500

2026-06-22 · 2,200 mi · manual · viper black

A cosmetically pristine 2,200-mile barn find with excellent recent service and a certified Viper mechanic inspection, but the original aged tires, unconfirmed brake/clutch fluid status, and unfinished touch-up documentation are minor red flags on an otherwise highly desirable low-mileage GTS that risks becoming a garage trophy rather than a driver.

original Michelin tires aged and unsafe for spirited driving · clutch and brake fluid not flushed during recent service · only one key and fob mentioned (standard should be two) · brake and clutch fluid flush status unconfirmed despite 26-year storage and recommissioning

12k-Mile 1997 Dodge Viper GTS

$65,250

2026-05-31 · 12,000 mi · manual · viper red

A well-preserved, low-mileage 1997 Viper GTS that carries modest modification risk (non-original wing and exhaust), vinyl stripe wear concerns, and a briefly contentious mileage history that community research resolved, ultimately yielding a fairly transparent but documentation-light first-time BaT sale.

Mileage discrepancy in Carfax report · Underbody damage and rust concerns · Carfax mileage discrepancy unresolved until auction's final hours via community research (AutoCheck vindicated seller but created early auction doubt) · Non-original major components (wing, exhaust) already installed at purchase, limiting verification of work quality or installation correctness

No Reserve: 8k-Mile 2002 Dodge Viper RT/10

$61,500

2026-05-29 · 8,000 mi · manual · viper red

271-Mile, One-Owner 2001 Dodge Viper GTS

$87,000

2026-05-20 · 271 mi · manual · viper red

Stunning time-capsule 2001 GTS with legitimate provenance and perfect storage history, but buyers paying a 14% premium over original MSRP for a car that's never been broken in, sits on 25-year-old tires, and may have unknown dormancy-related issues—the winning bidder at least plans to remedy the garage-queen problem.

original tires aged 25 years · engine not broken in · ultra-low mileage (271 miles over 25 years) raises questions about long-term storage effects on seals, gaskets, and internal engine components · original tires are 25 years old and may be unsafe regardless of tread depth

642-Mile 2002 Dodge Viper GTS ACR Final Edition

$152,500

2026-04-30 · 642 mi · manual · viper red

A meticulously preserved 1-of-34 Final Edition ACR with compelling low mileage and documented pedigree, undermined by unresolved Carfax discrepancies and original 26-year-old tires that demand replacement before any road use.

Mileage discrepancy in listing photos and Carfax · Original factory tires at 24 years old · Carfax mileage (4,600 miles) does not reconcile with seller's stated 642 miles · Window sticker never located despite being reproduced from memory

20k-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper GTS ACR

$73,400

2026-04-28 · 20,000 mi · manual · deep lilac pearl

A low-mileage, factory-optioned 2001 Viper ACR with exceptional build quality and show-stopping custom purple paint, but whose early undocumented repaint, leaking original shocks, and missing factory equipment raise legitimate questions about hidden damage history that the seller's emphatic denials do not fully resolve.

Shock fluid leakage · No documentation provided for the repaint despite major color change from factory Viper Red to deep lilac pearl · Seller claims 'GLORIOUS AND NEVER DAMAGED' but only basis is visual inspection and prior owner claim—no structural inspection or professional PPI mentioned

26-Years-Family-Owned 1999 Dodge Viper GTS

$69,000

2026-04-22 · 3,800 mi · manual · viper black

A rare 1-of-26 ultra-low-mileage Viper GTS squandered its potential premium due to seller's complete radio silence on legitimate concerns (Carfax anomalies, paint marks, tire age, service void) and failure to provide standard documentation like cold-start video, ultimately selling below true market value at $69k.

Mileage inconsistencies on Carfax · Extremely low utilization over 26 years · Seller radio silence throughout entire auction despite multiple direct questions about mileage discrepancies, tire dates, paint condition, service history, and title transfer logistics · Carfax mileage inconsistencies in 2006 and 2009 never explained

9,500-Mile 1996 Dodge Viper GTS

$78,000

2026-04-21 · 9,500 mi · manual · viper gts blue

A low-mileage first-gen GTS icon with the right color combo hampered by dash oxidation, hood misalignment, and undisclosed service history that cost it roughly $30k against a recent comparable.

Original OE wheels potential defect · No service records available beyond basic Carfax—critical for 9,500-mile example · Moved from Texas to California dealer mid-ownership in 2026, timing unclear

1k-Mile 1998 Dodge Viper GTS GT2 Championship Edition

Reserve not met

2026-04-17 · 1,000 mi · manual · stone white with blue stripes

A pristine, un-driven time capsule of Viper racing royalty that failed to clear reserve despite collector enthusiasm, signaling either overambitious pricing or genuine market skepticism about preservation-only examples versus driven collectibles.

Original factory tires present and aged · Title marked 'Title Only' — needs clarification on lien status or prior damage history · Original 28-year-old factory tires create safety concern if vehicle were to be driven

1996 Dodge Viper RT/10

Reserve not met

2026-04-16 · 36,000 mi · manual · stone white

A rare special-edition 1996 RT/10 with low miles undermined by an undocumented engine replacement, unexplained dual exhaust modification, absent service records, minimal photography, and a seller unwilling to answer detailed technical questions from the Viper community.

Engine replacement sourcing and status unclear · Cracked windshield and missing passenger wiper · Engine replacement details vague: sourcing, condition, and mileage on replacement unit not documented · Only one bid at $30,000 and reserve not met, suggesting market uncertainty

10k-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper GTS ACR

$75,000

2026-04-13 · 10,000 mi · manual · viper red

A genuinely rare 10k-mile 2001 Viper GTS ACR in excellent condition that sold cleanly at $75k, though the car's rapid re-listing after its 2024 BaT sale and the seller's initially imprecise specification details warrant the buyer verifying all service records and mileage authenticity before committing.

car previously sold on bat in september 2024 and reacquired by dealer in 2026 with unchanged mileage of 10k miles raises questions about whether it was actually driven or stored · seller's vague response to question about underlying frame wrapping—claimed it was 'just plastic' with 'no affect on the vehicle' but another commenter clarified it is protective film in crumple zones, suggesting seller may not fully understand the car

1998 Dodge Viper RT/10

$40,000

2026-04-09 · 54,000 mi · manual · viper red

A mechanically sound and affordable Viper with an undisclosed and apparently unrepaired March 2018 right-side accident, uncertain suspension modifications, and zero service documentation—sold well under comparable-car value, likely due to buyer skepticism about repair quality and the seller's lack of familiarity with the vehicle.

Right-side damage history · No service records available · Seller acquired car in 2026 but lacks service history and accident details · Seller uncertain whether car was lowered despite visible suspension change

2,700-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper GTS

$90,000

2026-04-06 · 2,700 mi · manual · viper race yellow

A textbook barn-find Viper in museum condition but carrying the unquantified risk of 25 years in storage; pre-purchase inspection and fluid replacement are non-negotiable before driving.

Stored for 25 years with minimal miles; extensive pre-drive service may be needed before safe operation · Storage-to-market timing raises questions about mechanical readiness despite low odometer

24-Years-Owned 1997 Dodge Viper GTS

$69,999

2026-04-05 · 15,534 mi · manual · viper gts blue

A meticulously preserved 25-year-owned Canadian-market time capsule with exceptional low mileage, perfect service records, and iconic blue-white livery that sold well below recent comparable pricing due to import complexity concerns.

8k-Mile 1996 Dodge Viper GTS

$108,888

2026-03-27 · 8,000 mi · manual · viper gts blue

Low-mileage, original-condition 1996 Viper GTS with provenance from baseball legend Cecil Fielder sold for $108,888—well above prior comparable 96-model results—reflecting strengthening collector demand for this increasingly rare American icon despite sparse maintenance records.

Limited service documentation · No undercarriage photos available until final days (seller's lift broke, delayed posting) · Limited maintenance history despite 30-year age and specific chain of custody claims

Ex–Viper Team ORECA 1999 Chrysler Viper GTS-R

$1,200,000

2026-03-25 · manual · red, white, and blue

Authentic ORECA works C20 with unmatched FIA GT and FFSA GT racing pedigree, comprehensively restored and documented, commands $1.2M as the highest-value Viper to date on BaT—justified by factory competition dominance, pristine condition, and ongoing race readiness.

22k-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper RT/10

$45,555

2026-01-28 · 22,000 mi · manual · sapphire blue

A remarkably low-mileage, one-of-105 Sapphire Blue RT/10 with legendary color pairing and fastidious care history, but marred by undisclosed prior gas tank repair, disputed aftermarket stripes, and hardtop repaint—sold at $45,555 to a savvy buyer who likely recognized value despite these complications.

Gas tank leak · Vinyl stripes authenticity disputed · Vinyl stripes misrepresented as factory despite multiple expert commenters confirming RT/10's were not available with factory stripes in 2001 · Gas tank leak on Gen 2 Vipers is a known design issue; repair documentation should be carefully reviewed

No Reserve: 20k-Mile 2002 Dodge Viper RT/10

$50,000

2026-01-12 · 20,000 mi · manual · viper race yellow

A genuinely low-mile, well-preserved 2002 Viper RT/10 with consistent underbody and interior condition, but marred by undisclosed wheel/tire swap (affecting odometer reliability), evasive catalytic converter status (emissions-critical), minor cosmetic damage (bumper stress, sill dent), and slow power window—sold at $50k to Nadster after strong bidding in final hour.

Aftermarket exhaust without verified catalytic converter status · Tires need replacement and odometer variance from wheel change · Seller unable to confirm original wheels have been on the car ('Unfortunately I do not have the stock wheels'); timing of wheel/tire swap unknown, affecting odometer accuracy · Catalytic converter status deliberately obscured—seller first claimed uncertainty, then claimed they are present without visual proof, critical for interstate sale and emissions compliance

1998 Dodge Viper GTS GT2 Championship Edition

Reserve not met

2025-12-15 · 54,000 mi · manual · stone white clearcoat with blue stripes

A genuinely driven Championship Edition with demonstrable upgrades and clean history through 2018, hampered by missing OEM splitter, high mileage for its rarity class, and a post-2018 documentation gap that ultimately priced it beyond the collector consensus at $91.25k reserve.

missing front splitter · Front splitter missing and holes filled/riveted during November 2025 bumper refinish—suggests either damage or incomplete provenance · BBS wheel finish (polished vs. brushed) inconsistent with documented examples; queried by experienced commenter but not fully explained

29k-Mile 1999 Dodge Viper RT/10

$40,250

2025-12-02 · 29,000 mi · manual · vapor silver

This is a well-maintained, low-mileage first-generation Viper with comprehensive recent preventive service and unimpeachable documentation, showing minor cosmetic scratches but driving clean history and ready to deliver the uncompromising raw-performance experience that defines the model.

No Reserve: 29k-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper GTS

$64,000

2025-11-28 · 28,560 mi · manual · deep sapphire blue

A documented, low-mileage sapphire blue gem with recent major service (clutch, cylinders) and PPF protection, though minor lower-fascia paintwork and track-focused tyres merit inspection, and the prior fuel-tank leak history—now resolved—was never formally logged.

Catalysts removed and unavailable; seller unsure if Prefix has them, potential California compliance issue · Paint work on front bumper lower section appears to have occurred, though seller disputes severity

37k-Mile 2000 Dodge Viper GTS

$52,500

2025-11-21 · 37,000 mi · manual · viper black

A well-maintained and spirited driver with recent comprehensive service work and aggressive modifications, but gaps in original-parts documentation, undisclosed mileage accumulation, and vague bumper/hood alignment issues warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

Center console cover weakness and crease · No service records provided beyond seller's testimony and Carfax; seller performs own oil changes but documentation unclear · Original drivetrain components (exhaust, airbox) not available or retained

Lingenfelter-Modified 2000 Dodge Viper GTS

$64,000

2025-11-20 · 7,000 mi · manual · viper red

A comprehensively documented, garage-kept 2000 Lingenfelter Viper GTS with extravagant era-correct modifications and authentic John Lingenfelter signature, hampered by unverified exclusivity claims, dyno numbers that fell 125 hp short of advertised figures, and a chronically low-mileage storage history that raises long-term mechanical reliability concerns.

Dyno horsepower discrepancy · Reserve not met at $63,000 final bid; deal completed via private offer at $64,000 to diamondmotorworks · Horsepower claims unverified for years (claimed 1 of 8 built, claimed signed by John Lingenfelter, but seller stated 'we've not been able to verify that definitely' and 'we've been unable to confirm that')

23-Years-Owned 2000 Dodge Viper RT/10

$47,000

2025-11-17 · 19,000 mi · manual · viper red

Attractive, low-mileage original-paint 2000 Viper with solid service history and provenance, but seller's vagueness about promised driving video and evasive responses to bidder questions create minor credibility friction.

Seller claimed driving videos were in the auction link but none showing actual driving exist; multiple bidders called this out · Seller stated they might post cold start and driving videos but did not deliver before auction end, citing work meetings

1996 Dodge Viper GTS

$59,600

2025-11-08 · 54,000 mi · manual · viper gts blue

A well-driven, comprehensively serviced 1996 Viper GTS with strong documentation and Tator's pedigree, but unresolved questions about engine block provenance, supercharger removal context, and a 27-year-old Carfax damage report undermine confidence in full disclosure.

Engine block VIN stamping not verified · Supercharger removal and ECU recalibration timing unclear · Engine rebuild reason not clearly documented; seller speculates it was due to supercharger installation but admits uncertainty · VIN stamping on engine block could not be located to confirm matching numbers or factory replacement status

No Reserve: 9k-Mile 1998 Dodge Viper RT/10

$55,000

2025-11-08 · 9,000 mi · manual · viper red

A genuinely low-mileage, stock, accident-free 1998 Viper RT/10 in exceptional condition that sold cleanly at $55k to serious Viper collector, though the complete service and storage history over 27 years remains undocumented.

Open recall on file · Seller confusion about model variant (called it GTS in one comment before correcting to RT) · No service history provided despite extremely low mileage over 27 years

No Reserve: 1998 Dodge Viper GTS

$55,500

2025-11-05 · 21,000 mi · manual · viper silver

A low-mileage, well-maintained 1998 Viper GTS with clean history and confirmed mechanical soundness marred only by minor cosmetic issues (tape, missing photos) and a last-minute battery service, which sold cleanly at fair-market value despite seller documentation lapses.

Photo documentation errors (wrong car shown in at least one shot) suggest incomplete seller quality control · Battery trim cover and related bolts removed at time of sale; warranty of reinstallation

One-Owner 1998 Dodge Viper GTS

$41,750

2025-10-28 · 51,000 mi · manual · viper red

One-owner driver-quality Gen II Viper with low miles undermined by extensive saltwater/environmental corrosion requiring significant structural remediation, sold at a discount to a buyer likely prepared to undertake restoration work.

Extensive underbody corrosion · Possible hurricane/saltwater exposure · Extensive underbody corrosion inadequately explained or disclosed upfront—commenters had to dig · Plastic bag visible in photo 81 raises questions about transparency and presentation quality

9k-Mile 2002 Dodge Viper GTS ACR

Reserve not met

2025-10-25 · 9,000 mi · manual · viper race yellow

A genuinely low-mileage, well-preserved final-year Gen 2 Viper ACR that exemplifies originality and rarity, though the reserve-not-met result signals seller expectations exceeded genuine market appetite for even this collector-grade example.

Shock damper condition on 2001-2002 Vipers · No pre-purchase inspection (PPI) mentioned despite claimed collector-grade status · Auction failed to meet reserve, suggesting asking price significantly above market appetite

No Reserve: 18k-Mile 1997 Dodge Viper GTS

$66,500

2025-10-22 · 18,000 mi · manual · viper gts blue

Exceptionally original, low-mileage Gen-1 GTS with documented first-owner Arizona history and Indianapolis 500 roadtrip provenance, sold at no reserve for $66,500 despite pre-sale market chatter suggesting $75–80k potential, indicating current Viper values have stabilized or softened from earlier-2025 peaks.

Tires aged 2014 · Recall mileage discrepancy initially raised by commenter Wizzy, who cited a receipt showing 55,000 miles at 2002 recall; seller later clarified via dealer letter that this was a clerical error and car had approximately 5,000–5,500 miles at that time

33k-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper RT/10

$56,000

2025-10-19 · 33,000 mi · manual · sapphire blue

A low-mileage, well-maintained Gen 2 RT/10 in an exceptionally rare color combo with minor cosmetic and performance mods, some recent major service (and an unexplained ECU/harness repair weeks before sale), that sold to an emotionally-invested first-time collector after a fierce bidding war, but the buyer should verify top-end rebuild details and inspect those six-year-old tires before driving hard.

Multiple state registrations (CA, MS, NY, OR) suggest frequent moves or sales · Top-end rebuild with cam swap claimed by previous owner but no paperwork provided to current owner

27k-Mile 1999 Dodge Viper GTS ACR

$67,250

2025-10-18 · 27,000 mi · manual · viper silver with blue stripes

A pristine, low-mileage 1999 Viper ACR in an exceptionally rare silver-blue stripe combo sold below reserve with BaT's financial assistance, signaling softened collector-car market but representing legitimate value for an informed buyer aware of current pricing trends.

Reserve not met at final bid of $67,250; BaT made up the difference to facilitate sale · Cold start video not provided despite commenter request; seller deflected to warm start explanation

24-Years-Owned 1996 Dodge Viper RT/10 Project

$25,250

A 29k-mile 1996 Viper with unconfirmed prior frame damage that has sat 20 years without running, sold as a gutted project with electrical and fuel system mystery—seller is transparent but data-light, and final hammer at $25,250 suggests buyer is betting on resale value or restoration ego rather than mechanical due diligence.

Non-running condition · Possible prior frame/alignment damage from accident · Vague account of prior frame damage: seller relying on secondhand recollection from late husband, no shop name or documentation provided · Carfax inconsistency: frame damage claimed but not appearing on Carfax report, raising questions about veracity or severity

11k-Mile 2000 Dodge Viper RT/10

Reserve not met

2025-10-15 · 11,000 mi · manual · viper black

Exceptionally low-mileage first-gen Viper undermined by a 2003 structural damage entry that buyers would not overlook despite seller's claims of clean inspection, ultimately failing to meet a reserve believed to be near $40k.

Structural damage from 2003 accident · Discrepancy between inspection findings and Carfax reporting · April 2003 accident with 'disabling damage' and reported structural damage, despite seller's claims of thorough inspection · reserve not met at $31,500; seller indicated reserve was higher, suggesting valuation disconnect
