I owned it from new, and wanted to see where it ended up after i sold it. Sentimental journey...

Run a carfax to obtain location...then contact local Viper club. You may get lucky.

A guy in the Illinois club had an ACR in that color

In bright sunlight, in person, the color is as outstanding and deep as the snakeskin green...

yup, according to the build numbers charts...

My first viper was VBB.
If it was an ACR I would have kept it.

Here's a similar one, that one of our club members owns here in Central California. One of my favorite colors.

This LOOKS to be the bright blue (sometimes on overcast days, and at certain angles the bright blue began to move towards the GTS Blue)...is that an '08?

I believe it is an '08 and yes, it's the bright blue. From what I was told by the owner, they picked this one right off the line when it was being built.

An Arizona member has an ACR in that color with a black driver stripe. Gorgeous. The Viper looks good in all the blues in which it has been offered. It works well on the car, no doubt.

Good luck on your search!

Thomas - I just e-mailed you a CarFax on your old Gen IV.

See you later this week at the Tail of the Dragon!

That thing was for sale forever, I don't think its in California anymore as someone would have pointed it out by now on Instagram or here.

Thanks Mamba184 - It's sad to think that the odds are now greatly against me seeing her again, but at least she's not salvaged!!!!!

This colour looks great pictured but I've never seen it in person. Kind of reminds me of B5 blue Superbee charger I owned... How would you describe it is it metallic or pearl changing colour in various light condition? Would you agree that it's very close to B5 blue pearl from the 08 charger and 09 and up challengers? To me it looks similar but deeper and overall a nicer colour as far as pics go. Thanks!

Sorry! I just saw this! Thanks! The Viper bright blue paint job is amazing! I'm not a blue car type guy, but after seeing it in person I went ahead and bought it (vs. an 09' snakeskin green vert). I like cars that are different and this one definitely stands out. I'm currently based in Germany so I haven't seen any Blue Pearl Chargers to compare it to unfortunately.

I can only say that depending on the way the sun hits it, or if it's cloudy, the cars paint color dances all over the place and I think that's why I liked it so much.

It looks/acts more like a pearl, but it says its metallic?

Hello Sir, I'm the current owner. Kind of a shame Mr. Curtner never saw my message. I'll be at Ft Campbell this summer for a week and would have been kinda cool to see the original owner. Right now I'm still trying to get in touch with whoever exported her, to get another copy of the title. I couldn't let her sit undriven in the desert so when I'm finished with my overseas time, I'm bringing her back to America.
