20k-Mile 1992 Dodge Viper RT/10

Description

Originally the work of a small crew under the direction of then Chrysler President Bob Lutz, Design Chief Tom Gale, and consultant Carroll Shelby, the Dodge Viper became iconic even when it was only a concept—one first unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in 1989.

The Viper team gave the car a custom-designed tubular space-frame layout with a center spine, complemented by a fully independent suspension with Koni coil-over shocks and huge 13-inch front brakes. And the car’s fiberglass body saved weight. The Viper's mammoth 8.0-liter V-10 engine had originally been designed for Dodge Truck duty, but Chrysler looked to Lamborghini for help in designing a new aluminum block and heads, with some of its parts — including the two-valve-per-cylinder pushrod design—carried over. In these first-generation Vipers, the engine was rated at 400 horsepower and 450 lb-ft. of torque, and acceleration to 60 mph came in less than five seconds; top speed was originally 164 mph. All 1992 Vipers were finished in Viper Red over gray leather upholstery.

Showing fewer then 19,600 total miles, this example is one of just 285 produced for the model year. It is also described as unmodified throughout.

This low-mile Viper is now offered by the selling dealer with a clean CARFAX history report and a clean Pennsylvania title.
