86 year old Lee Iacocca still has his Viper

[viperdrummer]

In the May 2012 Hemmings Classic Car there is an article on Iacocca . In it he says he once had a lot of cars in his collection but now has a few including Viper 00001. There is a small pic of him in the Viper. He also has a few Mustangs,of course.

When I lived in Palm Springs/Palm Desert in 1995-6, Mr. Iacocca and I had the only Vipers in the Desert.

His was definitely # 00001 complete with curb rash on the wheels and dented side sill covers ...

Neat that he reduced his collection considerably but... still has the viper!

Why does the word "kid" in your user name not surprise me.

Why do people say that "they could care less" instead of the correctly-phrased "couldn't care less"?

In this example, since he "could care less", that means he actually does care a little bit.

If I remember the Iacocca story correctly, about 20 Dodge dealers around the country put money in a pool and gave the Viper to Lee as a gift at a dealer's meeting I think it was in Detroit....one of my past dealer friends had a certificate on his wall as a thank you note from Lee for the gift of the car....in any interest here ???
