You want to go fast and you want to bring a few friends along for the ride. Sure, there’s any number of super sedans that will do the trick, but you’ll more than likely be doing the driving. If you want to see the world fly by and enjoy the company of friends, you’ll need a limo that get out of its own way – and a stretched Dodge Viper RT/10 may be just the ticket. The seller claims this is a one-of-one conversion, and we don’t doubt him given how unlikely it is to find another Viper with about two car lengths added to its mid-section. This one is listed here on eBay with 5,900 original miles and a suggested opening bid of $135,000.
Not surprisingly, there’s been no action yet on this auction, which ends on Monday night. If you cover up the rear 3/4 of the car with your hand, it looks just like a Viper should, right down to the later GTS polished wheels to the blue stripes on a white body. But clearly, some additional fabrication has happened, and the conversion has made it such that you can only drive this limo conversion in fair weather – apparently, creating a targa top the length of a limo body just wasn’t in the budget. It’s hard to tell for sure based on the so-so photos, but I’m not certain I even see cut outs for the passenger doors going down the sides of the limo.
Of course, given the low ride height, maybe you just slide on in like the Duke boys and the General Lee. The two hoops that I’m assuming provide some structural benefit in addition to being a safety feature given it has no roof are cleanly integrated, and that’s perhaps my biggest gripe with any limo – how it looks when it’s done. I spotted a Ford Excursion stretch today that creaked and groaned as it made its way around a curved driveway and it just screamed cheap. Now, I will always still prefer to find a Viper in its conventional two-door form with the removable roof panel, but if you’re going to convert it into a limo, at least spend the money and do it right.
The seller’s asking price would seemingly suggest he believes it was done well, and what’s even more wild is it still has a manual transmission, maintaining at least some elements of the Viper’s original identity – along with the snorting V10. The listing claims this limo is 25 feet long and can accommodate up to 12 passengers inside its handcrafted gray leather interior. I don’t see much practical use for this livery-friendly Viper aside from making your limo business the only one in town with the Viper option on the menu. What do you think – it this an ingenious creation or a total waste of a good performance car?
Definitely, a total waste of a good performance car!
I would think a waste of two or more wrecked Vipers.
To me it looks like a large bathtub on wheels…Lets fill it out with water and see how fast he goes….Yeah that would be a blast!
When I first saw this without reading article, I thought, Las Vegas? Yep…
“What was ruined in Las Vegas, should STAY in Las Vegas!”
An abomination in the truest sense of the word. And the seller thinks it’s worth a premium over the price of a clean non-abominated Viper?
Really, really strong drugs.
Why? Why? Why?🤦 My eyes hurt!!🙈
Perhaps it’s the result of two wrecked Vipers put together. I say why not, someone somewhere has a use for this.
ONE Viper, cut in half and stretched via chassis and cosmetics, would suffice nicely.
I’d like to drive this thing wicked hard on the track and see what kind of handling characteristics you would get out of it Getting the rear end out would truly be a handful.
One of a kind? I was sure I had one just like it around here somewhere…
Good its 1of 1 made. Fy for satan 🤮
What a waste. I’d love the motor/trans for my 70 D100
Two feet shorter than my motorhome, seven feet longer than my carport, and low enough due to length that there is no way to even get it on my property. Pretty much makes it worthless to me along with the price.
The ultimate drift car
Another one that brings up the question WHY>
ATTENTION. Bet it can,nt take a curve fast.
No need to ask WHY! There is no answer. But these wild creations end up being very entertaining for the commoner like me; excitement for all comes from the extravagant visions of some…..so Zi say: why not? 😂 after all, the F1 Mc Laren just sold for some 20 millions…..is that not extravagant as well? In a different way of course….but still entertaining.
Glad it’s one of one. Just cause you can doesn’t mean you should!
It’s all fun and games until you approach a hill……
…… or any non-flat railroad track crossing.
No excuse for stupid. What a waste of a fun performance car.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should…
If you have any use for it great, but that price is crazy high!! It is in Vegas.
Limo??? more like LMAO….
How to pakea complete pile of junk an even bigger pile of junk. What a turd.
Barf
Must have been “fun” being the driver going up and down the strip with one bachelorette party after another where the girls sporting their novelty sunglasses & cheap plastic necklaces constantly get up, do a little dance holding their drink in the air yelling “woo-hoooo!!”
I would crush this car.
It’s a cartoon of a cartoon.
Looks like something Jay Ohrberg would e done but it’s FAR too tasteful!
P. T. Barnum was right…
nope!!!!!!!
Jay Ohrberg made a
100-foot Cad Eldo back in the ’80s, showed it all over the world for years. Then he did a Fiero-based F40 that was only 40 feet long. Seeing this thing I thought maybe he’d struck Again… But no such luck this is FAR too tasteful for Jay…
Buy it cheap, cut it and make a normal viper back of it !
Haha haha,😂😂😂that pos is priceless.
Crazy!!

Las Vegas, Nevada
That’s Lost Wages not Las Vegas!
NO SALE = no surprise.
Many years ago there was a Supreme Court Justice who said something to the effect of “I can’t define obscenity, but I know it when I see it.
Now I understand what he meant…

Someone has more money than brains…and good taste.
I would not pay more than 10k for it even if I was stoned bidding at 3 am . Then I would still regret it when my Cheetos ran out
