New GTS owner

[97gtscoupe]

Well last weekend I became a Viper owner. I purchased a very clean, all original, stock 1997 Viper GTS with only 18k miles. Since I was a kid this was my dream car and in this exact color combo. I collected a number of models of these things and still have them packed away somewhere haha.

Anyway here is a few pics of her from the day I picked it up. Looking forward to getting to know you all and talking about these amazing cars!

What a beauty! I'm sure that is most people's favorite color for a Viper. I know it is mine. You're gonna love that thing

[Boosted Motorsports]

Nice!!! Make sure you follow-up with all the essential "must have" items that are known to leave you stranded. Power steering pulley/bracket, radiator hoses. I made some videos on my youtube channel "boosted2k" about them and how to change them.

Congrats and enjoy!

Hey dude looks awesome. That has to be my fav color combo for a viper

Ugh I know, so depressing. It is already home and in the garage... only got to drive it on my test drive then on and off the trailer. if the weather is not complete shit this weekend I plan to take it for a short cruise then put her away for the winter

[Jack's GTS]

Congrats. Rumor has it that the ones with the stripes are faster.

It's a beauty car. Seems pretty rare to find the cars with the painted silver wheels. I just bought my 96. I've spent the last Month swooning over it haha

[97gtscoupe]

Year I have been wanting to do some more research about the painted wheels. Everything I see says it only came with polished wheels. Any input from anyone on this?

The quintessential classic Viper now and forever. Congrats. I had a B/W '97 as well.

Thank you both, This was the combo I wanted most! looked at a red one before this and couldn't do it due to only wanting the blue/white.

Oh they definitely came with the non polished wheels, but they are just super rare. Congrats if you got one, but do not worry , as it was a definitely one of the ways they came. Send me an email at billpemberton@woodhouse.com ( with your Vin number ) and I will get you confirmation on your beauty. Had a 96 GTS that I often wished I had not sold , but the one in my garage now seems to match your car quite well - just a bit newer is all, ha,ha.

[v10enomous]

you have no idea. It is just such a non ordinary looking car. Every time I walk through the garage I stare at it. Sometimes for a creepy amount of time. I have a cover for it but I have not put it on yet. I like to see it too much haha. Can't wait till spring so I can actually drive it some.

[v10enomous]

you have no idea.

Actually, many of us know exactly...

[Bill Pemberton]

Check your PM --- sent two

Actually a Gen IV Coupe is mega rare also ( I do not have one) , as this paint combo Dodge pretty much wanted to only do on special models , but with a change in personnel there was a brief opening in 2010 and around 10 were done before they cut off the orders. We had 4 of them and they have the wider stripes , but when you think about it, the combo was done in 96,97, 2006, 2010, 2013 and then sporadically with the One of Ones.

A legendary paint combo that has stayed popular for over 20 years.

I know of one person waiting for their 1 of 1 2017 ACR-E B/W.
