Is that my Viper in that book?

[autoreality]

Take a look at the Viper Buyers Guide by Maurice Q. Liang on pages 54 and 55. There is a 97 RT10 Blue and White. I just brought home a car from Colorado that could be the car? Possible? Only 53 built, obviously the car in the guide was in Colorado because of the plates. The biggest clue if you look close at the picture the RT/10 badge on the front is missing. On my car the badges are also missing. Thats just not enough proof. What else can I do?

You can ask Maurice. I'll send you a PM.

I think the car in the book had an different shifter on it. I'll have to double check.

Actually its kind of a big deal to me. SORRY. Its my first Viper I've ever owned. I've been looking at that picture for years and thought it would be kind of crazy if that was the car I ended up with. I guess I'm pretty excited about it. I'm not tring to brag or anything I just thought someone out there maybe knows something about the car in the picture.

You did read your PM's correct?

Ya, Thanks a lot for the tip. That's why I posted it, because your reply helped me get in contact Maurice. He was going to forward my message to the owner of the car at the time. Have not heard back any thing yet.

 

[Venomiss]

That is good to hear! You keep on being excited and enjoy your Viper!!!!

I'd say it's a plus to have your actual car in some type of publication even if it's a pic and story in a local newspaper but especially from a recognized auto industry publication. Adds to the novelty of ownership and it's good for the resale value...

BTW... Certainly one of the most desirable Gen2s you have there. I've only had my GTS for couple of months and I would like to pick up an RT/10 at some point and that one would be on the top of the list...Wow!

That is interesting...let us know what you find out!

I don't think he's looking to bring a lawsuit, I think he's kinda excited. I don't blame him. When my RT/10 showed up in Viper Magazine it was a thrill, particularly since it was a track pic.

 

[Mopar Boy]

Congrats on the Viper and agreed, if it was my car, I would be excited too!

 

[PDCjonny]

I'm not a big RT/10 guy, but I'd love to have a matched set of BW '97s, GTS and RT/10. That would be very cool.

Just got the E-mail last night from the original owner of the car. He confirmed that it is my car. They attached a copy of the window sticker matching the ser #. I kind of feel like I just started dating a girl from one of my ******* magazines. And I know that will never happen.

 

[Ricketts]

Nice!!! That's pretty cool, your first Viper and a magazine star at that.

 

[AV108U]

That's a great story !!!
