Engine:
8.0 Liter V10
Mileage:
13,838
Although there are newer Vipers out there, including several redesigns in the past 25 years, none have had the blunt-force-trauma impact of the original GTS. It was the Cobra Daytona coupe reincarnated, but this time with 8-liters of V-10 fury under the hood, a quick-shifting 6-speed gearbox, and a sports suspension that could actually dance. Even today, this 1996 Dodge Viper GTS commands more respect on the street than just about anything else ever built. With only 13,838 actual miles on the clock, this is one of the very rare SRII Vipers that hasn’t been ridden hard and put up wet, making it a genuine collector’s exotic. And with Fiat/Chrysler Group discontinuing the model in 2017, these bone-stock, superclean, and survivor-grade up-model GTS versions are skyrocketing in value.
Viper fans are particular about their cars. Yes, they use them to their potential, but they are also fanatical about maintenance and the cars are seldom used as daily drivers. With just 13838 original miles, this 1996 GTS looks practically new in every respect, showing off a brilliant Code PBE Viper GTS Blue paint job that could easily compete with a Ferrari or Ford GT on the eyeball magnet scale. It’s wearing a classic white stripe package down the middle, and despite the somewhat light-hearted color combination (although don’t say that to Shelby fans), this one looks downright brutal because of it. The design is a masterclass of streamlined curvature over a lightweight, sporty body, and the dramatic lines are as crisp and clean as they were the day this beauty left the factory. The paint is incredibly strong as well, showing only very minor imperfections, limited to a couple touch-up spots and maybe a scuff or two on the lower portion of the body that can really only be seen with squinted eyes. We’d wager the little bit of wear that separates this GTS from showcar to top-end driver could be remedied with a cut-and-buff, while the rest of the finish is presented with a deep, lustrous gloss that commensurate to its extremely low mileage. Hand built by Chrysler employees specially chosen for the enviable job, it exhibits better-than-average build quality throughout, and seeing one of these on the street is still an event that brings in the crowds. Nobody (and I mean nobody!) tangles with one of these at the stop light grand prix.
The GTS benefitted big time from a more civilized interior that included actual power windows/locks, leather hides, A/C, and even an effective stereo system. Note that I didn’t say it WAS completely civilized (as in, it hasn’t been neutered of its GO FAST vibe) just much more civilized than the R/T, let alone the previous SRI generation, and that’s a big part of the Viper’s charm. You need to manhandle this car, show it who’s boss, and it isn’t for the faint of heart that are more concerned about the destination rather than the journey. Thankfully, it no longer shares similar components and materials that Chrysler used in their minivans, something the primitive SRIs could not boast. No, the inside of the GTS is definitely all sports-car, and you feel that the second you sink into the sculpted, leather bucket seats. A wide, expansive dash features white-faced gauges ahead of the driver and a quartet of auxiliary units in the center stack, a thick steering wheel mounted atop a tilt column, and even dual airbags – a safety feature you’ll be thankful for the second you feel the rear end get squirrely on a wet road. The Borg Warner T56 is managed via a 6-speed shifter that allows you to punch through the gears without fear of breaking anything, and the emergency break is a short reach away if you really want to get this girl spinning. At some point an Alpine AM/FM/CD head unit was added for entertainment, and the A/C system is a reminder that this Viper isn’t trying to kill you, it wants you comfortable while you embarrass everyone else out on the road. There’s a bit of storage under the rear hatch, but if you’re worried about carrying capacity in your Viper, perhaps you’re shopping at the wrong store.
The 8.0-liter V10 got a horsepower boost in the GTS that ensured that the baddest snake on the street remained that way. There are thousands of upgrades available, but other than routine maintenance items, this one remains bone stock – further testament to the former owner’s excellent treatment of this collector piece. Even stock, the 3600 pound Viper GTS brings 450 horsepower and 490 pounds of torque, so it’s certainly no slouch on the street. There’s no mistaking the bright red intake and valve covers, and this one shows off the efforts of very conscientious owners who kept it immaculate under the hood. All of the original equipment is intact, and by the looks of things it hasn’t been raced or abused, although we’ll admit that it’s impossible to keep your foot out of the throttle. The exhaust is stock, but Borla mufflers were added – just in case your neighbors weren’t scared enough, and the all-independent suspension works well on the street or the track, meaning you don’t have to be a daredevil to drive this 2nd generation Viper. Power steering and power 4-wheel disc brakes also improve this beast’s road manners, and flashy chrome five-spoke wheels are wrapped in giant 275/40/17 front and 335/35/17 rear Michelin tires that stick like flypaper.
The stories are true and these cars remain the last untamed performance machines. Documented with its original bill of sale, owner’s manuals, window sticker, and maintenance records, this completely stock Viper GTS features a clear history report and only 13838 actual miles since new. An iconic, American exotic that’s an absolute blast to drive that will definitely continue to have financial upside in the future. Who could ask for more? Call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we’re happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of $299 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state’s taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment’s notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it’s important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier’s check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper’s custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle’s current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer’s sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold “AS IS” and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle’s condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
DISCLAIMER
: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
Fees and Taxes
Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
