92 Viper Questions

[ak339]

Hello Everybody,

Im new to the forum and recently picked up my 16 ACR and have fallen in love with it, and Im now really interested in adding a 92 Viper to my garage. However I don't know too much about them as Ive usually stuck to european cars namely air-cooled 911's. Ive heard there are a couple key differences between 92's and 93's such as their headlights, serial numbered hoods....

Would anyone be able to elaborate on these differences?

Any help would be really appreciated, thank you.

'92 didn't come with A/C and it was an option on '93
IIRC '92 had a more hand built production line than later years.

If you search the forum, the info is there. In a nutshell: soft top is a vinyl material for 92 and early 93, Viper is printed on the calipers, antennas on the car, no outside door handles, no a/c (usually later installed), different paint on the wheels for 92 and early 93. Oil cap printing is different than later gen1's, Slightly different shade or texture of red on valve covers. Different hood brackets I think. And there's more but I'm still having my first cup of coffee and not thinking straight yet
