If I recall correctly the build quality on earlier Vipers was loosely described as, well, loose. The engine, transmission and drivetrain were surrounded with body panels whose sole practical effect was to hide them from view. Diverting airflow, keeping the rain out - these things were not primary or perhaps even…

Purely by coincidence, I am traveling to Tampa later today. Hmmm......
Eh, it’s a convertible, so I’ll let the no A/C thing slide, especially if you get it going up to triple-digits with the top down.
Sadly, COTD.
Its the same HVAC assembly and I assume other Wiper and turn signal and dash parts that I have in my 2001 Dodge Ram Pickup. They work fine. Of course my truck is acres of hard plastic and a rubber floor. Viper always was kinda of parts bin special, which makes it nice because lots of parts swap and you do not pay the…
True story,
I once dated this person who asked to borrow my apartment key while I was on Xmas break visiting family so they could feel the cat, water the plants and play my Nintendo Wii (back when it first came out).
Come back and my stereo was in a trash bag... they said they were playing Wii and the stereo “just…
Exactly- crack pipe at any price for the awful pictures and even worse “ad”. Florida Man can barely speak english, are you really going to hand over almost 20 large for a 26 year old performance car with a lemon title to a guy like that?
Perhaps the better question: is there anyone less qualified?
My thoughts exactly. You think if you’re asking over 10k for a vehicle, you’d want to make the pictures somewhat appealing. Heck, I took my ‘07 Mazda3 sedan outside of the city by a nice little lake and took some nice shots of it. Only got 3500 for it but still felt good that my pictures looked better than 75% of the…
That’s my take too. If it’s got 70k on the clock chances are whatever it was lemon lawed for was taken care of during the Clinton administration.
You really do owe it to the world to disclose what was so wrong with her that you HAD to break up.
CP. And Public Service Announcement: There’s a Gofundme open to support the Calaveras County (California) Search and Rescue office, which is leading the search for Davey G. Johnson, former Jalopnik scribe and current C&D writer. Chip in some coffee money and keep a good thought.
NP if you’re looking for a car actively trying to murder you with a telephone pole.
I always liked the idea of the Viper as a serious competitor to the Corvette for similar dollars. Outward appearances, they designed the car nicely, and it looks good. To all reports, it’s a blast to drive.
Close, but I’d say NP, if you’re into this sort of thing....
Yeah but at that point you should be getting a pickup truck, or maybe even a “recreational vehicle” instead of a Viper...

I saw this car for sale a week ago and almost bought a plane ticket.
JEEBUS! Can this idiot seller possibly have more CRAP in his photos, around the car and in the background? I couldn’t even finish reading your (I ass-sume) excellent write-up as it was obvious I would never buy anything this person was selling. Gives “shady” a bad name just looking at this . . .
