Viper is still for sale. I've been traveling quite a bit and the spam emails I have received via this site have made me less inclined to even reply - so if you have any questions feel free to call the number listed. If I remember correctly, you thought Iowa was too far from Ohio and it probably is too far if you're just tire kicking. If you are seriously interested in buying a Gen 1 Red Viper - you'll have a tough time finding one that is nicer.
I just purchased new PS2's for the rear as I got a nail in one of the previous tires - and am not a fan of patching/plugging even though there was still some life left in those tires. To be quite honest, I keep asking myself if I'm totally CRAZY for selling this car as I absolutely LOVE it. My rebuild on my SRT is going pretty slow and I'm having a hard time imagining a summer being Viperless. Nothing puts a smile on my face like seat time in this car. Mileage is up to 28k.
There has been no body work to the car and it has never been wrecked. I mentioned in the ad that the front fascia could probably use a re-paint - but not really required as the scratches are only underneath and not even visible. The passenger side sill has 2 pea sized bubbles that will need attention - but again - they are barely visible. The paint is in incredible condition for being 14 years old and most people can't believe that it's not brand new. You could drive this thing all summer without having to do a thing to it except add gas.
Talk to you soon.
