So I did it again

[Luisv]

I did it again. I had been tossing the dream around for a few weeks and started looking for Gen V's. Found one that I liked, closed on a deal and was 95% on the way to getting it when the whole thing went to shit. In the end, it was for the better. I found this one listed on the very night that the other deal fell through. The listing was at a local Dodge dealer in Miami, 10 minutes from me. It never even got a photo up on the listing before I called and arranged to get the first look and shot at getting her. I saw it and the car was in far better shape than the other one and I got her for the same price.

Here's my new toy....
2013 Viper GTS, Track Pack, 18 speaker, with Matte Sidewinder option. Single owner, Florida car. I bought it at the same dealer that sold it originally.

I'll get more shots later and start going through some of the changes I'll be making soon.

On a separate note.... any of you use Google Photos to post here? For some reason it is not letting me do it but I can do it on many other forums.

Congrats! Beautiful choice!

Did, or are you, getting rid of any of the other Dodges? I still want a Gen5, but I will not give up my '02 to get it.

Sweet, good luck with it! How many miles? Probably you got the 10 yr warranty extension as well.

Looks incredible. Those wheels just look perfect on it. It's funny how dodge had trouble selling these cars toward the end, and now they get picked up quick. That last two I've seen in Houston went SUPER quick.

Love the Bees. Congrats!

Nice Viper! There are some good deals out there right now but the Gen Vs are holding steady...

Awesome!

Thanks.

I saw the production numbers when researching and I think it was only 40 units in Race Yellow for the GTS trim in 2013. Anybody know how many came with the Black GTS Stripes? I'm curious and I can't seem to find the answer.

I did get rid of one of my Dodges. I turned in my 2016 Charger Hellcat.

But.... I DID NOT EVEN CONSIDER getting rid of my Gen 2

Nice, looking good!

Yes. The dealer confirmed the 10 year but I am waiting on the Service History to come in to verify.

The car had just over 8K miles.

Looks incredible. Those wheels just look perfect on it. It's funny how dodge had trouble selling these cars toward the end, and now they get picked up quick. That last two I've seen in Houston went SUPER quick.

Thanks. There are some that have been on the market listings for 4 to 6 months but they want stupid money. But if the deal is right, the car flies.

Love the Bees. Congrats!

Thanks!

Thanks. There are some that will negotiate. It's a hit/miss thing.

Rumble with the Bumble !!!!

Oh Yeah!

Congrats! Looks incredible!

Thanks,

Congrats and enjoy!

Agreed.... my Gen 2 was the same thing. It dropped out of the sky and I bought it before a single shot was posted on the web.

Car looks great but it would look even awesomer with the TA 1 Aero kit.

Yes. Agreed. I need the TA front and rear aero/spoilers.

Time grasshopper.... time.

I need to get the paint corrected today and then my clear bra goes on. Doing the front clip, mirrors, 1/3 of the hood, A-Pillars and leading edge of the roof. There'll be other tidbits covered like the door push buttons and door edge... depends on where I have material left from the cuts.

Also have to wire the radar, lower the seats (doing now) and then....... I have to start looking for the Carbon Fiber bits I want to add. But yes..... agree 150%. I need the rear spoiler ASAP.

Do NOT get rid of any Gen 2's. I see that Gen as having a great chance of becoming very valuable going forward. The most classic design of all Gens, enough conveniences and build quality improvements to nicely separate it from Gen I, a solid race history, and very mod-friendly and fun to drive. Low mileage, well kept cars in popular colors should start doing well within the next few years, imo.

And the bumble bee is awesome. Congrats!

[BrianACR]

Great choice in color!!

[512BB]

These cars always looked great in yellow.

[Arizona Vipers]

Beautiful! Congrats!

[Crotalidae]

Congrats!!!

[Camfab]

Congrats, Gen V's are awesome cars! That's a really good looking Charger.

[Vipes]

Very nice, those black GTS stripes really complete that car!

[Stealth]

Looks beautiful!

Of course, I am biased since I have a 2014 Loaded GTS in the same colors but with all of the exterior carbon fiber and some other extras!

Have fun with the new toy!
