People must be really scared of the miles, or it must be a pile of shit in person.

I'd buy a Range Rover before I'd buy a Viper with that kind of mileage

To be totally honest, i dont need it, i have 3 freakin trucks as it is, but..Id sell one of them in a heartbeat for this beast, but...It has had a new oil pump put in, and that raises more red flags than..heads, trans, brakes, tires, etc...

Generally, when an oil pump fails...it takes the bottom end with it.

For $15,750 Red can easily get 5 or 6 trucks.

6 trucks > 1 Viper

That could be a lot of fun, for cheap. Glad it is not local, I could end up with it.

Actually, the Autoform roof is a removable hardtop, and one of the best for the early Vipers.

I dont like the way it sits over the windshield. They do make another version that is pretty nice.

Tha gaps look normal for a 20 year old 200K mile old car, nothing jumps out that screams wrecked to me...

Chevy, will never make a car that is so bold and attractive as the 1st gen Vipers...they can imitate that feel...but never duplicate it.

It's OBO, probably pick it up for $14k

Besides, everything has been replaced.

There is something funky with the way the front fits, or doesn't. I wonder if it has a salvage/rebuilt title. But don't let any of that stop you, the fix-it threads you'll post on it will be epic.

Seriously, go take a look at it and let us know how it looks in person.

There is something about the whole car that just doesn't look right.

Would be very wary of a 200k motor with fresh heads. Engines tend to wear at the same overall rate. Most tired bottom ends with fresh heads become serious oil burners.
