Hey guys!
First want to say this is my first time to the viper forums, been a viper fan sense the test drive video game series on ps1 days LOL, and I'm 34 now. so I'm reaching out because for the last what seems like 10 years I've been driving by this person house and seen this viper in his front yard, I have seen it drive back in the day around town. but I haven't been by this person house in years and yesterday noticed it is still there. I want to go knock on his door and give him an offer but first kinda want to get quick advice on if it would even be worth it.
I've been a auto tech for 10 years although I'm not now but would be doing most the work myself. I'm interested in track days and have been to a few and was thinking of instead of taking a beautiful road car to the track and beating on it a little to much, take a car in this condition and bringing it back to life for the track. So the idea is to not restore this car to be in a showroom which I think could make restoring it for the track not as much of a burden with finding parts and whatnot.
What are some of your guys opinions on something like this? What do you think it is worth? Is it even worth trying to bring back to life? More of a headache than its worth? this is in the northeast so there could be rot, maybe engine problems.
I'm adding a small a picture because I want to the keep the owners place private for him and I only have this one picture.
Thanks in advance.
