Equipment
488/400hp, 6-speed.
Condition
One of just 285 Vipers built for 1992, the first model year. Bought new by John Elway and spent much of its life displayed in the showroom and maintained at his dealership in Colorado. Represented with 8,000 original miles. Located in Arizona.
Market commentary
Obviously, there are no crowds in an internet auction, but this car clearly failed to excite anyone like it did in Scottsdale only a few months ago, where it was reported sold for $88,000 (we rated it in #2- condition at the time). The John Elway connection doesn't necessarily make this Viper more desirable to anybody but Broncos fanatics, but this reported high bid is light for an 8,000-mile '92 car even if we forget about him. The consignor was reasonable to hold out, although this might be a hard car to sell any time soon.
