I would love to see more pics of this car in the real world. Also, if anyone knows any additional details on the color, I would certainly appreciate the information. I don't necessarily want to add the flames, but the red color looks very interesting.

Here's what I remember.

This SRT was custom painted by a world reknown paint specialist who very often was the gent that painted the custom show cars for Chrysler. I believe Viper Mag did an article on him not so long ago.

The only information I was able to gather from old raffle forms was that it was "candy red with ghost flames".

JR Thompson (Viper HQ) would surely have more info on this. You may want to call Kim at 800-998-1110 as she may be able to give you some contact info.

Bob Soroka was the painter, and as he has a paint shop at Kustom Haus Ltd - Kustom Paint & Fabrication I'd write him if you want paint code info, etc... He is a great guy, and has done a lot of wonderful work. Including a lot of charity work for United Way... remember the Green 2008 hood that was auctioned? That was Bob's...

Might be the only good thing about my Serpent taking so long to complete. My sons keep trying to talk me into snakeskin green. Final color decision (at least for today) - Dark Kandy Red, very similar to the dark red (not the flamed portion) from this raffle car.

You still havent chosen a color to paint your SRT? lol...

Rocket go for the Kandy Red on your Serpent much more classic color than the Snakeskin green and you won't be confused for an '08 with your totally custom colored car.

About 3 years ago I was talking with Kim or Beth [can't remember which] and they said that the winner of that car never took delivery and the club sold it. After they called him to tell him he had won, he would not respond after that so although he had the winning ticket he never got the car. Maybe someone else knows more about that.
