I got mine! Picked it up the end of June.

1994 RT10, Emerald Green, 29,000 miles.. I'm the 3rd owner. The guy I bought it from had the 1996 style stripes painted a few years ago, in silver. They look great, I'll post some pics soon. Also had the Dodge and Viper emblems painted to match the stripes.

Head gaskets have already been done.
18" wide spoke off an 01 or 02 with Michelin Pilot Sport with less than 3,000 miles on them.
Smooth tubes are the only mods I can see.
It came with a color matched hard top. Not sure on make.
Factory soft top and side curtains.
Service manual and maintenance records.

Goes without saying, I'm so excited about it.


I always wanted red until I saw the green,
Tim

YAY... another '94 emerald green! I'm no longer all alone...
Every time I see one it's a '95

Thank you everyone. This thing is awesome! Got stuck in beach traffic yesterday and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The cabin heat was not unbearable. I think the exhaust heat from a motorcycle while in traffic is worse.

The airflow from the visor angle has been a nice surprise. Wonder if it was designed that way.

Great looking car. I have always liked the emerald green. Funny you mentioned the visors as the position really does make a difference. Enjoy.

I didn't know the 94 was made in green. Congrats man. Nothing beats that feeling.

Wot!

I'm late to the party, but just the same - congrats! - l am in the camp of loving that color. I like the stripes as well. I have not seen one before so yours is unique.

Welcome to the world of Viper ownership, what a great feeling it is :) I got my car back in 2008 and still pinch myself that the car is mine when I enter the Garage :) Just make sure you get used to the torque of the beast, there not called Vipers for nothing ;) Respect is needed ;)

My first experiences of Vipers was in a Gen 1 1994 RT/10, loved it.

Enjoy your new ride :)

Only 112 made in this color that year. I love the car more each day. I have been very good with the throttle, haven't had it over 2k rpm but once or twice. I think of this car as a four wheeled motorcycle, when I rode I stayed in the middle or left lane. This past Saturday I took it to about 4K and was surprised by how loud the stock exhaust can be. I may just gut/remove the cats and be happy with it.

I don't even carry the top in the trunk. If there is a chance of rain I won't take it out.

I love that emerald green. I love green in general. My other ride is a 2004 "electric lime green" (actual paint name btw) Jeep Wrangler. GREEN IS GREAT!
