Want a Viper No Beed to Bring A Trailer

[Jack B]

Sorry about the typo

This really is very difficult, vipers have been a large part of my life since 2000. Recently I have not used the car the way it should be used, there are multiple reasons, therefore, I have made a decision to sell the viper and associated materials.

I will post the car on the sire, but, I also would like to solicit input on what other options I have. Some pictures and description will follow, the car has many options and additions, however, it looks like an unadultered OEM edition.

A simple list of the sales items are as follows:

2013 Viper SRT with Prefix H/C & 9L
24ft like new viper set-up car hauler (no matter how low the car is, it will not scrap when entering)
Autocross wheels and tires (sidewinders)
Drag wheels and tires (sidewinder look a likes)
All take-off parts
Viper specific tools

Here is the car

General Comment
One of the best sounding vipers to be heard
It is loud however, by simply adding cats the sound can be reduced
With the 9L and 2,66 cluster gear, roll (1st, 2nd & 3rd) acceleration is unbelievable. My guess is in a roll race with a stock viper, this car would have ten lengths on the stock car before hitting 4th gear.
With the numerically low 6th gear (.5), the car cruises at 75 mph/1500 rpm.
All H/C vipers have a minor drivability concern, the numerically high gear set fixes most of the issue.
The car has never been left out in the elements and was winter stored at home in a heated garage.

Jack beautiful car. Unfortunately you’ll never get what you paid in mods back. Just realize the car will sell differently than the trailer. The market has slowed down from 10 months ago. I’m sure there’s a unicorn who will want both, but a unicorn.

Do I understand you don’t want to put it on a bring a trailer? That’s the best place to get top dollar.

[Sniper]

What are you wanting for the trailer?

[Bruce H.]

Jack, you have a PM.

[Mikey]

With all the issues I've had with it, it is haha
Hopefully after it's rebuilt, I'll have a different tone

[ACRSNK]

Didn’t the track pack cars have the factory aero as well?

[J TNT]

Like TA 1.0-style aero? Not that I recall. I don't remember who said it but apparently the track pack was dropped sometime after early 2014 (perhaps after the launch of the TA 1.0, which came after the earliest track pack cars).

The track pack was just the better brake rotors and sidewinder 2 wheels.

A beautiful car and an amazing build from one of our most knowledgeable members about the inner workings of our cars! Whoever picks this up will get a really well taken care of Gen V.

Jack, please be sure to stick around after the car is gone and pop in from time to time.

GLWTS!!

Jack, I always enjoyed your input and wish you would have solved the AIT issue. You came close. Keep the car. Drive it once it a while. Sell the trailer. I don't drive mine enough but every time I do, this super-car reminds me how lucky we are to own one.

[SRT_BluByU]

unless health or financial related (or both) you might regret letting it go.. you've seen loads of folks unload the Viper they had only to pay dearly for another one a short time later.. what are you panning on replcing it with? Lotus?

Also, Price?

This. Jack has been helpful to all of us through the years. I'd buy this car without hesitation, I'm sure it's well sorted.

[Fulltilt]

My car is a 2015 and it has the track pack and the TA1.0 aero. I'm pretty sure a track pack doesn't come with the aero.

Good luck.

[mjorgensen]

Uhg... Never thought this day would come Jack, hopefully you check in now and again you have been a great customer and dear friend hopefully some deserving buyer can love her as much as you have.

The main problem is the new boat we bought and it is not the financial part, the boat has become all consuming for the last five years. The second big issue is, this car deserves more seat time, it should not be sitting.

[Mikey]

What are you asking for it?

[Jack B]

What are you asking for it?

Good question, the process has just started, I have to do a bit more research. I went on ClassicCars.com. there were approx 100 vipers, of that number 5-6 were a G5. There was a calvo car for 225K, the low was 135k, the rest averaged 150K

The other issue is, my OEM take-off parts, should they be included? There is probably 10K in those parts. I will definitely sell the car and trailer separately. The trailer is mostly aluminum, I believe it is only 1500 lbs dry, you do not need a lot of car to tow the viper in this trailer.

The OEM parts seem to keep the buyers that don't like mods interested but doesn't help the price, if that makes sense

I sent your post to the guy who bought the junky orange TA on ebay, he said he's looking for a car to replace it
