Time to say [potentially] good-bye to the Snake. MacDill AFB (Tampa) has a good 'lemon lot' where you can park and sell your ride. Going to park it there during the day to see what the market says. Just don't drive it much these days and need something different as I near retirement in a couple of years. Comes with spare original hood (complete) and OEM side sills too.

Is that the Autoform hood, or other? What is the current mod state?

My wife's dad spent a lot of time at MacDill flying B-47s and Grumman Albatrosses. He was the lead pilot of the first operational B-47 squadron.

Great looking Viper. White stripes look amazing. GLWS!

Gorgeous car.

GEN-I hood (thanks Viper Mike!!) modified to accept the Whipple 4.0 that I had been running as a prototype design...on a GEN-IV top end. Long story, now just a NA GEN-II block with the GEN-IV heads, manifold, exhaust manifolds. I actually liked the slight "bubble hood" better than the OEM one...so I've kept it on. The OEM one looks really flat after having this modified one on for a few years. I have a complete mod list....

Seller Comments: Purchased July 2005 w/7700 miles from one owner (have original window sticker). No accidents. All work done by seller over many years in personal shop. Car is fun to drive and gets A LOT of attention. Never raced but set-up for whatever you may desire. Time to retire and simplify my life before this car kills me! It’s too tempting to do dumb things with it (only two speeding tickets in 15 yrs)…buyer beware!

 

[Torquemonster]

Very nice, sharp, and a great mod list. Good luck with the sale

 

[Brickhead]

Guesstimate on what it would take to purchase the GTS sir? To a good home only of course.

Based on the mods & personally doing the work I’m betting lots of love went into this machine.

I've been all over the map with the car...sell, don't sell. Wife likes it, I get bored. PITA to drive since everyone hassles me on the road. Not as much fun as it used to be since it draws so much attention. Amazing to feel that way right? I had a guy give me the finger the other day presumably since the car is just so in your face and breaks every social rule out there today. WTF? It's just a 22 yr old Dodge for Pete's sake. Just crazy.
Since 2005 I've been nose to tail and now don't really desire to do anything more....sort of a been there, done that. Doesn't cost me much to keep at this point other than about $1200 per year insurance and tags...and garage space. If it sells, anyone need a 4-post lift, cherry picker, engine stand, and trans jack?? LOL. With a spare hood and side sills, I would think somewhere around $65-$70k. Don't know what I don't know right now. When I get back from DC, I'll know more.

 

[85vett]

I'm kind of feeling the same as you right now. Been thinking of selling as well but just afraid I'll regret it and never be able to afford one again if I change my mind. Curious what yours would go for as I've got zero clue what these are worth now. Mines got way less mods but still some but at 17k miles.

 

[99RT10&GTS]

Don't you DARE sell the girl that's been at your side so long!!!! You two have a deep history!!!!

 

[EllowViper]

LOL...my wife or the car? Sort of the same equation.

Give the Viper to the Wife. Then she can't ever sell it because you gave it to her with LOVE...............

I’d be impressed if a Lemon Lot would bring the type of money this cars worth

 

[EllowViper]

Airmen with wayyyyy tooo much coin and little to no brains. Should I exploit the opportunity when [if] presented? You do recall those used car lots right outside the gate. "Buy Now. Will finance any E-1 and above...."

Ahhh I missed the whole Airman part…..since you guys get all that steak and lobster at the DFAC and luxurious barracks everyone has all types of extra money laying around…..I’m only used to Army Lemon Lots with used stock challengers for $30k being the “show piece”

Steak and "crab legs" every Tuesday at the DFAC in Kabul. Big steel grills outside the prep area with 3rd country nationals doing the grilling. I wonder what they really thought watching all the US/NATO forces eating their fill breakfast, lunch, & dinner...week in and week out. No wonder everyone wants to come to America. Land of the big DFAC.
