The Dodge Viper has also been a low production and unique vehicle. It was built as a halo car and quickly fulfilled its role as a special car that shows the engineering and design prowess of Dodge. What could be more fun that a 10 cylinder engine in a 2 door sports car? This example was found by Pat L. and we appreciate him sending it our way. This low mile 1995 Dodge Viper RT is located near San Francisco, California and is listed here on Craigslist. The seller is asking $49,900 and the listing has been up for about a week.

Under the hood is the famous 8.0 liter V10 engine. How many people can say they have driven an 8 liter powered vehicle that was not a commercial truck? The engine was rated at 400 horsepower in 1995 and 465 lb ft of torque. The 1995 Dodge Viper had a top speed of 165 mph. Where this car really shined was in the quarter mile and most magazines of the day were able to run quarter mile times in the high 12 second range. Power is transferred to the rear end via a 6 speed manual transmission. The Viper also came with electronic traction control and a positive traction rear end. The car’s drivetrain was recently serviced.

I like tan interiors. Most of my cars have always had black interiors but, with only 10,100 miles, this interior looks new. This Viper also has air conditioning, power steering and power brakes. For entertainment, a factory AM/FM cassette and CD player is installed. I wonder what year car manufacturers phased out cassette players in cars. I thought it would have been sometime in the early 1990’s but this car has one. The seller has recently replaced the tires but kept the originals.

None of the pictures in the ad are very good. Here is a shot from behind the car. The emerald green paint is a fairly rare color. The tan interior contrasts well and is striking compared to the optional gray interior which looks more sedate.
