The first-generation Viper was designed in-house at Chrysler by Tom Gale and utilizes composite body panels over a tubular steel space-frame chassis. This example is finished in Viper Red (PRN) and features a removable hardtop, soft top, and rear window as well as fog lights, zip-up vinyl side windows, a tonneau cover, a forward-opening clamshell hood, and side-exit exhaust outlets. Noted imperfections include paint bubbles and a scratch on the left side of the hood.
The 17″ tri-spoke alloy wheels were reportedly refinished in preparation for the sale and are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires measuring 275/40 up front and 335/35 out back. The RT/10 is equipped with power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel independent suspension, and four-wheel vented disc brakes with Viper-branded calipers up front. 1993 models were not equipped with ABS. The selling dealer states that the brake pads and rotors were replaced during their ownership.
The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in gray leather with a color-coordinated dashboard, center console, and door panels. Additional equipment includes a heater, air conditioning, a Pioneer stereo with bluetooth connectivity, and power door locks. The driver’s seat outer bolster and passenger seatbelt are worn and the selling dealer reports the key fobs do not function.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 180-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline. Auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and voltage are mounted atop the center stack. The six-digit odometer indicates 29k miles.
The 8.0-liter OHV V10 was factory rated at 400 horsepower.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec T-56 six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The selling dealer reports that the clutch hydraulic cylinders were replaced in 2020.
Manufacturer’s literature, service records, the removed stereo, and Viper marketing materials are included in the sale.
