AHHHHH!!!!!!!

no!

what are you doing??? it is a perfect car. you will never find a better example of a sapphire Gen II.

**Jeff M** · August 17th, 2005, 02:45 PM

Don't sell it Jason! That cars is BADASS!!

If it is for sale, someone is getting a PERFECT car!

Really Fontenot, it's not like you don't have the room to keep it. And if you (rightfully) shitcan your new Coupe order, you'll want to retain a pristine example of what a Viper should be. Which you have.

Keep it!

I saw this Viper a couple of weeks ago. It is perfect and one of the best color combinations.

Do you guys really think Jason is going to downgrade??

**Lawboy** · August 17th, 2005, 03:02 PM

i see visions of Ford GTs, Continetal GTs and Aston Martin DB9s in his head.....

Give it to Genetic Cesspool. He's a really great guy who has had some very bad luck lately.
You'd really be making him and his 3 kids very happy.
Even his 3 year old loves Vipers and is sad that they can't buy one.

Don't forget it was the original Paul Mumford Sapphire ACR order. Feel free to tack on another $500 of historical value to the asking price, J!

**Toby** · August 17th, 2005, 03:41 PM

I wanted that car BAD 6 months ago.

Good thing that you waited as it's worth more now than 6 months ago.

Good luck!! :thumb:

I am putting both the Viper and the E55 for sale for now. My coupe is coming and I'm just up in the air on what to do. I want to pick up a Ford GT at some point and am waiting for prices to stablize as well as see the new colors for 2006. I may not sell the Gen II and just sell the E55. Eventually, I want to replace the E55 with a Continental GT or something of the sort for daily driving. In the end, I may not keep the SRT Coupe and just end up with the ACR...crap...I'm confused.

Smackie, actually it was my first sapphire blue GTS that was ordered by Mumford through Woodhouse. I still have the sticker with his name on it. He had ordered it then changed his mind and bought an ACR version to track...identical to the one I have now.

Must be time for an oil change. Good luck with the sales Jason.

Gerald,
Finally...someone understands me. Will you come over and help me detail it? Please?

**PBG** · August 17th, 2005, 05:01 PM

Don't do it Jason, that car is absolutely beautiful!

vipernathan · August 17th, 2005, 05:45 PM

You can buy your old GTS back once you sell this one (or if you sell this one). The owner that bought it from you is going to be selling it soon.

The only thing that would hold me back from selling this ACR is that you had it since it was basically brand new. If you don't have to sell it, don't. Mercedes cars are a dime a dozen. If anything, take the new coupe in and sell it while the market is hot and get your hands on a Ford GT, or Bentley. My .02. My dad just secured one for like $3k over sticker. Not too bad.

**getbit** · August 17th, 2005, 05:56 PM

I don't have to sell it. The E55 is for sale too. We will see. See if you can get me a hook up on the Ford GT...

vipeuup · August 17th, 2005, 07:58 PM

How much is a Ford GT going for up there? Here in Monterey, theres a white one with blue stripes. New in the show room for under $200 grand. I think they were asking in the $170's...

Then new limited edition Tungsten paint scheme for the '06 GT's is about the sweetest color I've ever seen on a car.

It replaces Quicksilver on the color pallete this year. The quicksilver racing strip can be added or deleted in the color option.
