What did they go for?

The links should take you to the auction results.
The 2002 sold for $51,000 and the 97 sold for $41,000.

The 97 seemed to have a lot of work invested in it. If it was a pristine example with low miles, I'd say $41,000 was a blind steal. Cool purchase!

I never find anything too interesting at the auctions around here.

A 2002 RT/10 for $51K? What was in the car, gold? Unless it was brand new that is too expensive and is a unique example. The person could have purchased one from just about anywhere else for less, unless is was brand new. Heck look in our classifieds.

i call BS on both cars. totally over priced......

i smell a lot of BS going on with these cars being "sold" what idiot would pay 51K for that car ?

 

[Chuck 98 RT/10]

The price of the 01 sounds a little far fetched. The 97 sounds interesting since the motor was built by Caldwell.

What are the buyer and seller fees at Mecum ?

The 02 here is a bargain compared to the Barret Jackson 02 RT that went for like $69k plus fees in the last 14 days...

Looks like the Gen2s RT/10s are bringing the money... I like them but because I only have one I prefer the GTS... I was thinking about adding an RT/10 at some point but the Gen2 prices are staying pretty high so maybe it will be a Gen1 car...

Interesting intake on the Caldwell build.

This is what auctions are designed to do. They generally (with exceptions) increase the sales price of items. I don't find it extraordinary that a Viper would sell for more than it might sell privately.

It's yellow... Although, I paid $35K for the identical car last fall (11K miles). The only difference is mine was not a one owner and I do not have all the records (searching). Big deal... I though I paid too much, but I wanted it. So I got a steal compared to that.

There is no correlation between real world used Viper values and these recent auction prices.

 

[99 R/T 10]

That 97 went for dirt cheap for what was invested. Holy cow, I would like to have that intake manifold

What he said...it's YELLOW. Would have brought $60k + if the engine had been detailed in YELLOW.
