Classic Car Addict is proud to present this 1997 Dodge Viper GTS for sale in our Mesa, Arizona showroom. During the 1990's, the Dodge Viper was literally a beast with no leash. Produced from 1991 to 2017 under five generations, the Viper was equivalent to skilled driving. The Viper was a distant successor to the Cobra. The second gen Viper was produced from 1996-2002, the GTS and RT/10 editions. This is 1 of 1671 built.
The Viper was a sensation when it launched in 1991. It looked, sounded and drove like nothing else. It was 1997 that marked the second year of the model's second-generation, which finally added such creature comforts as air-conditioning, power windows and power locks as standard equipment.
The exterior is finished in Viper GTS Blue (PBE) with Stone White (QW1) racing stripes that run down the entire length of the car. Exterior details include a chrome fuel filler cap, a heated rear window, projector-style headlights, fog lights, a vented hood, integrated rear spoiler, and dual Corsa Mopar exhaust outlets. She rolls on Michelin Pilot Sport tires measuring 275/40R17 up front and 335/35R17's out back. The 17” five-spoke cast aluminum polished wheels are all in excellent shape. Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs with Viper branded calipers.
The bolstered bucket seats are trimmed in black leather and are joined by a color-matching dashboard, center console, door panels, and shift knob. Appointments include an Alpine CD stereo, air conditioning, adjustable pedals, power windows, and dual airbags. The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 200-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline. Auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and voltage are mounted atop the center stack. The six-digit odometer shows 13,003 miles.
This beast of a 1997 Dodge Viper GTS comes with a completely original and un-modified 8.0L Viper V10 engine coupled with a glorious 6-speed manual transmission. The 8.0-liter was factory rated at 450 horsepower and 490 lb. ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear through a Tremec T-56 six-speed manual transmission with overdrive and a limited slip differential.
The Viper GTS will be sold on a clean Arizona title with receipts, copy of original title, owner's manual, Viper car cover, two sets of keys, and window sticker. CarFax shows no accidents, and three previous owners. Call Classic Car Addict today at 480-256-1459.
