Hardcord Gen II ACR

[ACRSNK]

Anyone have any leads on a 01 Hardcore (No AC, radio delete) ACR? Looking to purchase.

[Steve-Indy]

With only 9 being built, may be a long hunt.

Very true, but this group has input and tabs on all kinds of Vipers. Figured I would ask as someone might have a lead on one of the 9 built.

Also willing to pay a finders fee for a successful purchase.

[JimJoeBob]

I thought I remember hearing on one of them having been wrecked?

[Viperenvy]

Yes - not tough at all to find - look in VOA Classifieds - the 99 Silver Blue is a AC Radio delete. Chris is the owner.

Maybe not - I dont see it now. It was just for sale for around $51k.

I'll txt him. Standby... Hold that beer too!

[Viperenvy]

Yep - it sold 3 days ago - going to Massachusetts. So you'll see it in your New England Region.

I has been for sale since 10/30/16. I went to visit it May 30th 2017.

Cool...was it nice?

[ACRSNK]

Actually looking for an 01 Hardcore...not sure why I wrote 99. Must have been thinking of something else, but the 01 is the rarest with I believe 4 being produced.

Anyone know how to find out the colors on the hardcore cars specifically?

[Viperenvy]

I imagine HOT - get it?

On a serious note - it had close to 17,000 miles, 6 owners, original tires, rims & gas cap were chromed, original engine/trans mounts, oil pan gasket, and everything except headers and exhaust.

So "nice" is subjective. Depends on if you mean seeing 1 of 9, pristine concours example, loved, maintained, or just not abused. Then layer on top of that what your purpose is for the car and if you then have $10 to $20K to fulfill that goal.

I ended up with a 99 ACR with 2039 miles, 2 owners, loved vehicle.

I know it's a minor detail, but these cars were referenced as "Non Comfort Group cars" not Hardcore. Good luck with your search, I've always felt these ACR's will be the most desirable at some point.

Did you end up getting the black 99 ACR that was in sale here last year for $45K? If so that was a pretty damn good deal!

You are correct. I think hardcore is what the Gen IV’s were called.

No - that car didn't have original wheels, replaced headers & exhaust, had been in an accident, at least 4-5 owners, and had zero documentation.

Also interested in the details

Yeah 01 is definitely going to be hard to find with only 4 made. I never understood why people were so hung up on the ac. So many of these cars have less than 5k miles so they are clearly fair weather rides.

Either way I know one was red and another yellow/black. Not sure on the other two.

[blownrunner]

Here in Florida and probably half the East coast the car is an oven in the summer, thats why you get hung up on the A/C.

I have never used the AC in any of my Vipers except the Gen V. AC in a Gen I, or II is a complete joke. Much better off just opening the window. Most people buying Vipers, especially Gen I's and II's are definitely NOT buying them for their comfort features.

Speak for yourself, Yankee boy! When my '93 black was delivered on August 5, it was 97F outside. The service manager and I came back from the test drive SOAKED with sweat. The dealership owner asked if I wanted to take it home. I said "not until that A/C unit that's been sitting on your shelf for 4 months is installed!" I drove it home in comfort on August 14.

[Venomess]

^^ Haha same!! My Gen II ACR blows freezing air. After 5 or 10min I usually have to turn it down bc it gets too cold with the windows up. Everyone said Gen II AC was terrible and that was honestly one of my biggest concerns buying one but mine works great so I'm not sure why people say that.

With you on that one. Usually I do just drive with windows open(sounds better that way) but when I do turn on my AC, I only run it for a few minutes before I'm turning it off again. And yes, in case you all are wondering, it does get warm enough up here to require using the AC lol.

[1BADV10]

My gen II a/c is ice cold too, In town windows down top off I still run it for the cool air when the suns beating down on you. On highway with windows up and top on its too cold most of the time. Its the stereo that's worthless to me, don't get me wrong I love rock-n-roll but with my muscle cars and viper its all about listening to that engine....haven't heard them engines since November, maybe one more month of winter crap and get them fired up!!!!
