Beautiful and both should bring big $$$'s

Interesting that the '94 is somewhat rarer (for a '94) as it doesn't have factory A/C.

They will go from one climate controlled storage location to another. Sadly, some will use the sale price on these museum queens as a comparison point for their cars. lol.

There will always be a group of investor-collectors who will bite on this type of vehicle...noting that said folks often, in my opinion, know very little about hands-on maintenance or repairs. I have seen a few of these vehicles myself...enough that I personally would want no part of one at any price. All things deteriorate over time...especially those with potentially corrosive fluids in systems...let alone the variable definition of "climate controlled environment".

That said...to each their own...as there are multiple methods of enjoying "collectables".

What a shockingly sad sight to see such low mileage cars!

Why is it that people place their values on other people? Why is it that people know best how others should live their lives and spend their money?

My Grandmother was always saying, "different strokes for different folks" and "that's none of my business."

I love the person who has the money to not worry about money, but enjoy the art that is Viper. I also love the other end of the spectrum of people who modify and/or drive them to death. A member of our region has over 100,000 miles on his 97. He is a blast to talk with. Another member plans to daily is 97 (coincidence) this coming year. The work he is doing on the Viper is fun to see and hear about.

If all of us - by all of us I mean the car community - learned to enjoy someone else's passions and understand why, we'd create a better Car Culture.

For perspective, all collectors could project on the rest of us why we are so lazy, made bad financial decisions, and broke as to only be able to own one Viper or a couple. I mean really, you don't have 20 or 100? Why are you so broke? Get your butt to work......

Let us all look to celebrate the fact that we love an icon in the automotive world regardless of motives and intentions. We are lucky to own one and lucky to know people who own more.

Fan the flames of passion, don't be a firehose.....

Hey Brad, whether it's Viper's or other cars, some folks really get wound up about never driven cars. "The guy could have made 50 billions dollars if they put it in the stock market instead." Terrible investment, what a waste, etc., etc.

The reality is that these owners love the car(s), they have all the money they need of some other reason that's personal to them. We should appreciate the fact these cars are preserved and bench marks for the future restorations with the correct details, the various markings, etc. On the other hand, I never hear folks say that the OEM's should dump all their preserved cars. Same financial companions hold true for them too
