I know why it only has 1,900 miles on it. Surprised its that much. Think the pieces worth more that the sum......

[BlknBlu]

surely not the best of both worlds. It is an Abomination

You would never see someone transforming his Viper into a Corvette.

I can't believe it has that many miles on it! There's no way I'd want to be seen in it. Just sayin.

Wow, paid more than half of what a Viper would have cost back in 1995.

[SlowPoke McGee]

Good find, Brian. After all the money that had to have been spent making that, wouldn't a person just be better off buying a 1995 Viper? I'm confused.

Minus the interior, it's not a terrible replica at least haha. But really, there's no point in cloning an affordable car (roughly)

[ACRSNK]

That's just horrible!

[Geronimo]

It has a carburetor lol.

Back in the day Vipers were very expensive, regularly being sold above sticker. It was common to see fake Ferrari’s that were built on Fiero chassis’s. So I can see this being done. It really isn’t a bad knock off for the poseur at $8500. I’m sure you could fool many a person in Huckleberry USA. Honestly with some of the abominations that have been done to older Gen Vipers by the PepBoys crowd, this isn’t so bad. At least they didn’t destroy a real Viper.

Doesn't look that bad imo.

It might be worth it just for the hood, bumper and parts. LOL

I think because I spent so many more hours working on my gen1 (and I think just generally staring at it for the first few years) you really get to know the tiniest nuances of the car. So when you see this, I think almost instinctively, all those little oddities just pop out at you.

Though as someone pointed out, back in the day that was the deal. For the fraction of the cost most people on the street wouldn't know the diff on first glance. But that interior is indeed tough to look at. But lots of those kit cars had beyond basic interiors. I remember those Ferrari/fieros, I actually knew more than a couple people who had them. Though some of them, the proportions were off so even if you didn't own that Ferrari, you knew it was "off" (kind of like the stance on this viper).

I don't know why, these still intrigue me!

Good to see you back slowpoke!!

Except that NONE of it will fit a viper...well, maybe the headlights/taillights are viper. The rest of the front is all one piece......not Viper.

[BrianACR]

I guess maybe I'm just used to seeing replica Ferrari's and Lambo's for sale, not Vipers
