The Viper I purchased is a 2010 Coupe with Aero Package and is solid Bright Blue Metallic. The dealership told me that my color is the only Viper produced in 2010 in that color in a Aero Coupe (not an ACR}. I have my doubts. Anyone have solid info on this? Thanks

Find a copy of the current Viper magazine the production numbers are in there, one off color I would say no, one Aero Coupe painted that color very possible. At the end of the day does it make the car any more valuable. I would say no. Just a good conversation piece that you have the only one. Nice color btw.

Not sure where he got his information since the numbers have not been released yet and that same color was available in 09 too.


Nice car though

Like GONABITE said, it's entirely possible that it is the only AERO COUPE made in that color. Congrats:2tu:

Very likely it is the only one, as many Dealers were not even aware of the Aero Group package. We have , supposedly , the only GTS Blue/white Coupe ever done with an Aero Group, and fully understand there will likely be others in different paint schemes as it appears only about 50 or so have been done each year ( Coupes and convertibles ).

Afraid I do disagree with Gonabite, as the rationale for this being just a good conversation piece is the exact same comments made to guys in the 60s and 70s. Why were certain cars not ordered back then and why are they so valuable now? Frankly many folks believe it is the same thought processes we all have today. The reality is this year I have seen more collectors ( and non Viper owners ) buy different or limited edition Vipers than ever before. History will tell, but with low, low numbers, few colors repeated, the Aero Group cars of 2008, 2009, and 2010 may only approach 150 vehicles, and this alone will cause normal speculation in the future. When many folks are asked who did their conversion, Dealers are not even aware of the package, it creates the special car that no one realized was built----in my opinion the classic reason certain cars go for such extremes years into the future.

That color has really grown on me, Did'nt care for it at first when it came out but it is a gorgeous color. Saw a picture on here of an ACR in BBM with black stripes that blew me away. Not sure where its at??? maybe someone can link up. Yes post pics when you can. Congrats!! Aero package looks great I think. Remember when looking for an Indian Chief motorcycle bout 10 years ago first one I looked at was a yellow/cream combo and I said ughhh :omg: no way, 3 months later I ownwed a yellow/cream Chief. Go figure how first impressions are not always right. :dunno:

The car looks great, those wider stripes aren't as bad as I thought they would be...
