It's Stryker Red...of course it is worth a million dollars just on that color alone!

...this 2013 SRT Viper GTS was the first car built at Chrysler's Conner Avenue assembly plant in Detroit.

Wow that's incredible. All along I thought my viper was built there too.

The color alone is very rare given that FCA dropped it at some point. It was not available in the final years of production. We could only get Stryker Orange, Green, Purple (not saying those were shabby, by any means).

I thought you could get a Viper Painted any colour you like? We even had a Multi coloured VOA Magazine front featuring a Viper with the many Paint options?

When this was originally auctioned off with proceeds to charity I’m thinking it only brought about 300K ?

Pretty cool if you could score this at a decent price. Lot's of Viper's going through this year including three 1992's. If anyone wants me to take a look at any in person let me know! I'll be checking them out early in the auction week.

There is someone here that posts often with a 1of1 2017 in that color. Forgot his name, but i think he's in LA.

12-05-2019, 07:13 PM
Yes his name is Brian. Buuut he didn’t get Stryker Red. He got Rosso Corsi something or another that is damn freaking near Stryker Red in color and does look like a million dollars. I think his user name is Serpent something! Or 1of1 drive Viper. I remember 1viperbite Instagram @oneviperbite

Not to keep drinking Brian’s Koolaid, but he is so meticulous about that car, he refused to drive it until he spent 3-5 thousand freakin dollars on an entire whole car clear bra ppl xpel so it would remain as fresh as a baby’s butt after a bubble bath! ( I did the same on my ACR but not my Stryker green!)

We were driving 2013 Vipers at the 2012 VOI. I drove a yellow one because that line was shortest :confused:

I kinda did the same thing. I drove the yellow car because it was an SRT trim level. I wasn't gonna be able to afford a GTS.

You may be right, but I somewhat recall looking hard at the Stryker colors and wondering why the Red was no longer on offer. This would have been in 2016 and 2017 when I was looking to order a final year car. I remember searching forum posts and the sales sites (carguru, ebay, etc.) and not finding much in the way of Stryker Red either currently for sale or in the completed sales. That said, it still seems to be very, very unusual and maybe even more rare than any of the other Stryker colors (I've seen 2016 and 2017 purple, green, orange, but no red).

Stryker Red was only a 2013 color. I think there are a couple that were considered 2014 models, but it wasn't available post-2013 as an option. You couldn't get it as a GTC option either from what I heard.

70 of the first 73 are listed as pilot cars. With that theory those 70 never made it to a public home.

Untrue. Pilot cars can be sold given the right circumstances, especially the last preproduction pilot. But sale is after the internal use is over, thus they are not "first sold" in any case and are sold as used cars.

Agreed

Also, the data I retrieved off Dodges website, shows those 5 Race Yellows I mentioned as.... SOLD

Ya I did post it for sale at 50 miles... now 229 miles...the medical issues I had then I still have today. I can drive the car but not with the confidence I once had ( lost all feeling to bottom of my left foot) due to a brain aneurysm... I held out hope that feeling would come back, but so far not much changed... so car is driven around the lake I live on... gated, private street , no other traffic, and car is driven only to keep things moving before oil change... so I get good offer I would take a look at it..... ya see there is this 812 super fast Ferrari calling my name..

Not factory, but it appears the previous owner had the originals chromed.
