Nice looking car. Be sure to respect the power.

Ya i have a ZO6 in the garage putting down 600HP. So yes respect is in order. This will be a weekender for sure.

Nice catch with a good start on mods. Good luck!

Thanks Burt, feel like a little kid looking for presents around the house. Cant wait to fly down on Wed and drive her home. Might tape up the front end, or find some kind of temp bra.

Congrats, I too just bought a 2003 Viper Black 'vert two weeks ago, and drove her home from Richmond! You're going to have a blast. Good luck with it.

wow looks nice. hey someone put up a pic the other day of their black gen 3 vert. It had been lowered and he put 20"s all the way around. Take a look for it because that thing was amazing. I truly had to do a double take when I saw that

looks good, I keep getting surprised by those Amarican prices, In the Netherlands you can't even buy an early Gen 1 for this kind a money.

WORD! It's called BPM, a hefty import tax because we don't have a (major) domestic car manufacturer worth mentioning and God knows what else.

Welcome to the club!!!

Speaking of "the club", I hope you'll consider joining the VCA. No car club does more to help owners enjoy their cars than the VCA. The benefits are huge, and are listed here:

Right now, dues are pro-rated for partial year membership, it's just $130 for Venom membership and $95 for a regular membership.

If you have ANY questions about the club, please ask! Congratulations on your purchase, I hope it gives you years of trouble free fun.

Congratulations!
I too bought my Viper on Ebay last year, same as your plan; I flew down to Iowa from Toronto and drove it home. As with any used car it had a few bugs (not disclosed), I knew it had a rebuilt title so I expected something.
Overall a good experience, no regrets other than not being able to use today's dollar exchange!!
I also reccommend joining the club, we have met some great people and look forward to meeting many more.
Just sorry the VOI is so far away this year.
Good luck and enjoy!

Congrats and Welcome....nice find:2tu:

Soon as i get her home, i plan on joining no doubt. Ive already learned so much in the last 2 weeks here. Ive been a vette owner for many years, and cant tell you how much ive learned on there forums.
Doing all maintenance myself, im really looking forward to learning so much more about the car.
And the guy i purchased the car from is a viper nut,i truly expect this car to be mint. And after talking to him quite a few times, im sure it is. Nicest thing about this deal, he is the original owner. And he's changed the diff fluid every 3K miles, a little anal if you ask me, shouldn't that be like every 20K LOL

It says bid Ended: May 02, 201010:45:52 PDT Reserve not met?

So i cant say congrats yet. :dunno:

Bought it before bidding ended. We worked out a deal,great guy. Should have it home in Chicago by Friday. That is of course after i check it out. This guy is straight up, can tell by talking to him. So much better then buying from a dealer. Not bashing any dealers, but you know what i mean. This guy is a total viper nut.
Not to mention the money i save on taxes LOL
