UPDATE:
Yesterday on Bring a Trailer a ''97 RT/10 sold for $95,000 not including 5% auction fee. New record for a non-'92 I believe. For all you B/W folks out there your time is coming :). Many of the people watching didn't even know the car existed. That should indicate these rare...
I bought a new '95 Green/Tan and gave the 8 year old neighbor boy a ride. He said, "Someday I'm gonna buy a Viper". There were many kids back then that loved Vipers. Now they have the money.
Agree 100% DJ.
Scoring an excellent example for forty-something now will probably look like a brilliant decision later. More importantly in the unlikely chance the value goes nowhere, you still own one of the coolest, most unique and fun to drive American cars ever to coat tarmac with rubber...

Top to bottom:
* Rolling dyno - notice the fixed yellow stop post in the foreground. There is also one in the front of the car and is hydraulically operated. Speeds were in excess of 100mph.
*...
BYAIC,
I read most of the thread..........poor chap. Quite possibly the case, color wise. The trunk was the biggest offender when it came to being a shade off. The body pieces came from different vendors hence the discrepancies in QC.
Best, Bret.
When i get a chance I'll scan some pics for you. One of the coolest pics was of the completed storage bay called the "Toy Box". There were always Reliable car haulers just outside the huge doors waiting to be loaded.

So to add and clarify why the '97 RT/10 was so limited in production was mostly due to time constraints. In 1996 they closed the New Mack facility and moved production...
