Your car is worth what you are willing to sell it for. I don't see why the viper community want to down grade the first generation viper so much other than they may think they might get more for their car because it is a newer generation car and has improvements. I have a 93' viper and the first year 50% of them were wrecked. There were only about 950 made. So if you compare that to the other generations in production you are talking about a car that has a lot of collectibility in its history as being the FIRST ONE. So an investment club doesn't go on the criteria that a car club would and they think that a first Gen Viper is a good investment they are basing their judgement on what makes a good investment. Thanks for the information Dr. Pepper Number 1 on the list!

About the car: With Chrysler’s roaring V10, 450-horsepower engine and crazy Detroit styling, the coupe paid tribute to the Daytona Cobra coupes of the 1960s.
Why buy it: Increasing numbers of low-mileage Vipers have started to appear at auction in the last five or so years, with average prices for one in excellent condition hitting around $53,600, according to Hagerty, the vintage auto insurer. Many strong examples are still available to be had for $30,000 to $40,000. That’s a lot of car for the money. Hagerty has included it on its “Bull List” for 2020.
Caveat emptor: Later cars are more comfortable to drive—but the early cars with no creature comforts and laborious wheels are the purest of the form. Make sure the car you buy has lots of maintenance documentation and a clean ownership history.
Encouraging words: “They’re an incredible buy with performance to boot,” says Carl Bomstead, the senior market analyst for Sports Car Market, a valuation guide for classic cars.
