Back in 1996, if you bought originally and still owned your Viper R/T-10, (We had a '93 and still have it today) Dodge sent you a coupon good for an allocation for purchasing a 1996 Viper GTS Coupe. You could bring the coupon to any dealership and order the car. It was a real-life ***** Wonka Golden Ticket. If was good for you only and the dealer had no say in it. You'd work the purchase deal directly with them and if you didn't like the terms, you took your coupon and walked into the next dealer. I bought mine at Tom Edwards Dodge in Bartow, Florida. I also purchased my 93 there so they knew me well and agreed to my $500 over invoice purchase offer. Here's the video of the day it arrived and the dealer prep on the car. I sold it back in 1999 in case anyone still has this car it's vin [#200222](https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/200222). https://youtu.be/DikblR1oKpQ?si=B2k4NQsbiFF_GL-o

That is an outstanding video, and thank you for sharing! I was still a high-schooler when your delivery happened. That would have been around the time I saw one in the wild for the first time. Without going into detail, I was hooked is an understatement. I have built many a cool cars over the years, but they will need a plot big enough for a GTS when I go... I'm taking it with me.

Super cool vid! Thanks for sharing….do you recall what invoice price was on this? Just curious compared to window sticker MSRP.
