The ash tray is correct.

Parking brake handle from the LeBaron.

Wheel hubs (6-bolt), tie rod ends, front upper control arms (Gen 1 only) from the Dakota pickup.

Heater control valve from a Ford Taurus (I think).

Fog lamps from the VW parts bin.

The steering column in my GTS looks just like the one in a Dynasty that I saw this week. And, I understand that the front side markers are Freightliner pieces. Oh yeah...the hood insulation plastic retainers are the same as my '72 Scamp uses.

Ok, Regis. So what part did the Chrysler MINIVAN contribute to the VIPER cause?

I can try to answer the minivan question. I know the right hand power window switches from a Caravan are used in later Vipers. (Like my 2000) And that is my final ansa!

The Viper windshield wiper motors are the same as the rear wiper motor on a Crarvan.

George is correct. The underhood space squeeze precluded a single motor for the windshield wipers, which were designed for a synced cross-over sweep so the solution was to link a pair of small motors electronically. Those are the rear-wiper units from the minivan

I thought the Minivan part was the windshield wipers? I was told that the rear wiper system from the Minivan were used by placing two systems in the Viper. I never asked for that to be confirmed.

Nobody has mentioned where the jack, 92-96 RT/10 glove box latch, interior door handle(s), and side marker lights came from
