Chrysler Decal on Bumper

[cgmaster]

I just noticed that I do not have a Dodge emblem on my car. The emlem on the rear bumper reads Chrysler. I was looking at a RT10 that had Dodge on it. Do all GTS's have Chrysler on them or just some years?

WOW! I think only non-US cars have Chrysler.....but I have nothing to back that up. Sounds somewhat rare for a CONUS car.

ALL Vipers I've ever seen had "Dodge" on the rear bumper. Sounds like someone may have swapped emblems for some reason?

Usually that means it's a made for export vehicle.

Are the numbers on the dash in us or metric.Does the car have daytime running lights?If so it would be a canadian car.There aren,t any dodge dealers north of the border they are all chrysler i think.PM your vin# and I can tell you more.

There are definitely Dodge dealers in Canada. All Canadian Vipers are Dodge

all euro vipers have Chrysler markings, even back to the very first RT's

Chuck Tator can suppy the rear 'DODGE' badge for around $30, i swapped mine to Dodge as no-one but the french have heard of a Chrysler Viper

Another likly cause is that the bumper isn't original and
someone snagged a deal on overseas parts. Of course that
means your illegal-to-operate on US soil car is actually
legal, but with hidden rear-end damage...





.... or a previous owner just enjoyed confusing the snot
out of people.


Just to be safe I would have that car throughly checked out
and researched.

Easy way to see if its a Dodge or a Chrysler is by the VIN. Dodge is 1B and Chrysler is 1C as the first part of the vin..

Bonkers, you can bring over a euro viper and sell it on legally in the US, it just takes a bit of sorting as you require a 'certificate of conformity' from Dodge which is quite difficult to obtain. This certificate is required to get the car realeased from the docks.

One of our UK guys moved to Florida and did this, selling his GTS 12 months later to a VCA member here on this forum

can we see a pic?

I'd keep it that way, a Chrysler VIPER would be cool and different.

here's mine before/after swapping to some ABS 3D chrome

I can't believe someone would change that to dodge. everyone is always hunting for rarity or something that makes their VIPER special, this would be it.

 

[Neil - UK]

Chrysler's as common as muck over here, there bloomin everywhere
and with the current range of cars we get its not a name you really want to be associated with either

for $30 snampro you could have that look

I guess I meant why would someone in the US change it to dodge if it came that way, it would be cool and confuse so many people!
