    Have to wait until after Thanksgiving, but there are a couple of things i will be interested in if you still have them...

    Insurance

    This doesnt surprise me... When i had Nationwide, anyone was allowed to drive it, but there was no agreed upon value and my monthly rate was just under $400. Collector Polices tend to be horrifically limited - my current policy through PHLY allows me unlimited miles, but i need a daily insured...

    Inherited a 94 Viper want to sell I don’t know anything about them.

    Honestly, the prices are all over the board with Gen1s. If you are looking for top dollar these days youre going to have to learn quite a bit about the car, market it, and be prepared for a VERY particular type of clientele... If you just want a quick sale, your best bet is (like mentioned...

    Battery Issue

    What is your definition of "lasted long" and what exactly was the reason given for the failure of the battery itself? Viper engine management computers are known for parasitic draws that will kill even the best batteries over a few years if its not driven regularly (as in more than once a...

    Insurance Question for the Group:

    State Farm is an [*******] of an insurer, i wouldnt trust them to insure my pressure washer... that being said you need to find out what the arrangements of the collector policy is before you sign anything. Like others have already said, most collector policies have stipulations regarding...

    I got scamed

    Please tell me you paid with Paypal Services, if so i would begin the process of disputing it ASAP... Im sorry, but there is so much of this going on now that you really need to deal with known sources, or in person these days. I hope you get your money back...

    MD New Viper Owner

    Hennessy cars are notoriously poorly built, especially Vipers. My first suggestion is to get it to Tator, Havik, or Sessions (the 3 closest to MD,) or some other Viper Guru to do a FULL inspection. There is a 70/30 chance its not the "spec" you think it is, and its something you need to be...

    Advice needed - fix or sell as is?

    Six one way, half dozen the other. "Not running" you will take a MASSIVE hit up front, no question. Nobody pays full price for a car without knowing if the engine needs replacement, or if it even drives. Even as a running project, youre looking at $10k+ higher asking price. The flip side is...

    Honest feedback on this wing choice

    Im a huge wing fan, but im gonna say No. That doesnt compliment the lines of the convertible or stock suspension - gives me the feel of a FnF leftover part, or Keystone Special than a serious performance enhancement. Sorry.

    Check out this Viper!

    I dont begrudge anyone doing anything they want with their own car. But im not even going to waste the time clicking the link because, regardless of opinion, just acknowledging it gives him a paycheck. No such thing as bad publicity in the era of social media.

    New to the site

    Welcome! Without driving it much expect it to be moody when you do. Vipers do not handle boredom well and the ethanol in the gas can cause some issues once it settles out. As for the wheels, depending on your budget and how persnickety you are about perfection, JonB and Sharf would be your...

    What special Viper do i have? Strange GTS Combination

    Also, Dodge "Viper" could not be trademarked in many European markets, so its not odd for the badging to be missing or the paperwork to be off. By the Gen3 it was simply an SRT-10. But i agree with the above, none of those upgrades are OEM or even Mopar Performance. I hope the seller did not...

    Battery tender and mounting it inside engine bay

    I have a a wire mount attached to the jump point, but i HIGHLY dont recommend that. The jump point is thread sealed and has been known to snap when trying to remove - breaking it can cause huge, expensive, headaches. The other point too is that if your like me and using a Gel Battery (like...

    Napa Green Antifreeze ok? 1997 Viper…

    Its been a long time since i dealt with coolant, and im currently on the road right now so take this reply with a grain of salt... It will be okay, but you really should flush the system and switch to the Mopar Orange/Pink. The Green will attack the aluminum in the block over time. If you want...

    Anyone else have antique plates on their viper?

    Im with Rda - Hagerty was a huge joke of an insurer. Ive never seen a company whose entire catalog revolves around cars be so... well... Anti-Driving. They wanted me to put all 9 of my cars on their daily program to get a discount on the Viper (and at the time a 66 Mustang.) The end result...

    Anyone else have antique plates on their viper?

    In Delaware its a reduced Registration, one-time inspection, and lower Insurance Premiums... ... However, youre only allowed 500 miles a year, can only drive to a parade or car event, cannot have ANY non-factory modifications, and if caught violating the rule set they will remove every...

    Big jugs of Mobil1 15W-50 at Wal-Mart

    This is what i believe - Cheap assed Daimler wouldnt have spent a penny on development of a new Filter if it wasnt needed... especially considering they had a Filter already designed with a contracted other company (Mobil.) Also i dont believe an amateur, no matter how well intentioned, has...

    Help! Gen 1 engine coolant leak

    Looks like the thermostat housing might be leaking. Do not remove the intake to investigate until you have a better idea though, the intake gaskets are not reusable and im not 100% if they are even still available. I cant image practice shifting would have anything to do with it, however...

    92 model

    Sitting for 13 years is painful for these cars, if you intend to drive it youre going to need a full fluid flush, tires, and there are several iffy components (like head gaskets and seals) that dont take well to Boredom. 92 is also a much rarer and therefore... slightly... more difficult to find...

    Big jugs of Mobil1 15W-50 at Wal-Mart

    Thats the filtering pressure, im talking about the emergency Internal Relief Valve.. The bypass is on the top of the filter, Wix, Napa, Mobil, Fram, ect... are all 90psi which is the standard operating start up pressures of 95% of all motors made. The Viper V10s (and some say the Magnum V10s...
