Does anyone know where I can get an original or reproduction window sticker from a 1996 RT/10? I'd like to have one as a collector's item (to add to my couple of hundred model Vipers and tons of other Viper memoribilia :) )

Nobody makes an exact reproduction because some of the numbes on the window sticker are not kept and are destroyed every two years by Dodge. But if you do a forum search for "window sticker", there area few that make pretty close copies.

Here's the deal:
Appx 1.5 years ago you could call Chrysler Customer Assistance at 1-800-992-1997, give them your vin # and they would then send to you a 3 page DETAILED report listing everything about your particular car. Such as:
1. What dealership your car was shipped
2. What dealership it was sold to
3. Code #
4. Description of Codes
I have provided this to this board previously and others reported they aren't doing this anymore. It's worth a try. This detailed report lists stuff that is not on the sticker. Here's some of the stuff:
Code:TAAC ALL Tires (huh?)
TBCS Spare Tire
YGAA Without Billable Fuel
Yep Manuf Statement of Origin
1AAS U.S. Dealer Retail
142S Zone 42-Detroit
YAAS Build to U S Market Specifications
2DAA Customer Preferred Package 2DA
21A " " " 21A
PBEA Butane Blue Pearl Coat
QW1A Stone White C/C
APVA Stripes-Dual Painted
3EJA Gas Guzzler Tax
Etc. Etc. There are 3 pages of 66 codes with Descriptions along with the Ship to: Quality Dodge in Union City, Ga and Sold to: Elhart Dodge in Holland, MI as in my case. Not sure if they sent this to me by mistake, or if they stopped doing this or if they are still doing this.

You could then take this info to Gary (my correspondence below) and he would make up a window sticker that would take an expert to tell from the original with the info above. Small Problem: Gary is MIA. Not sure if he quit voluntarily or was forced to quit by one of the manufacturers but he will not answer emails and currently is not providing this service which is a real shame. Good luck on contacting Chrysler Customer Service above and Gary below:

My correspondence:
Gary, I am attaching info that I received directly thru Dodge for my car.
I'm assuming the "Ship to" info on the jpgs is where Dodge first delivered
the car. My vin # is on the jpgs but if you can't read it, here it is:
1B3ER69E9TV200XXX
I'm attaching a photo of the car and as you can see it is blue with white
stripes with black interior. By examing the info sent you should have
everything you need. If you don't receive 5 attachments, let me know and
I'll resend. I just paid you $12 thru paypal. Thanks and let me know if you
need anything.

> Yes, Gerald, we can! It is not one of our current stock, but we can do a
custom sticker just for you. You supply the information - VIN, color,
dealer, options, etc - and we make up a repro sticker that matches your car.
Custom stickers cost $10 plus $2 shipping. You get 2 copies. You can pay
by Paypal and email us the information, or you can send a money order and
the info to: Gary Kimball, 683 Arrow Lane, Kissimmee, FL 34746. Thanks for
asking!

Email a guy named Gary at [email protected]. He used to do reproductions and laminate them if you wished.

DO NOT buy from this guy! I bought one from EBay, then sent extra $$ to customize the sticker, all setup via E-mail (Which took 2 weeks)! Then after 6 weeks I got the sticker, the exact one from EBay, no customized items, no lamination. Tried to E-mail asking for a correct item, 3 weeks no reply. Check out his E-bay rating, to many complaints. Stay far away!

Yeah, I think Gary is no longer with the the business as his workmanship was 2nd to none and he individualized each sticker according to the info provided to him. All for $12. What a shame. Seems like the good die young (and I'm still here?) This board definitely needs a new source for window stickers. I'm assuming the guy here that is doing the 96 Pace car decals could do this in his sleep but he's across the pond which would increase the costs. But if these stickers are perfectly reproduced, who cares about a few extra bucks. The problem could be Dodge may not like this being done.

Already checked with "the guy accross the pond". He said no way. Too complicated and time consuming for the $$ involved. I'm suprised that there isn't a higher up in the VCA organization that could run this issue through Dodge and get Dodge to help us out. . .

Couldn't someone get a graphics dude to make one? I don't know any personally, but I've had graphics made for my vehicles before. It seems to me that if someone had an original sticker to use as a template, a graphics person could dupicate it, personalize/edit it, and simply print it out on sticker paper. Sounds easy to me, but I'm not a graphics person.

Further info on Gary, Ebya just suspended him for poor feedback.

Please be advised that the following auction:

7903920330 - repro 1994 Dodge Viper RT/10 window sticker WOW

was ended early by eBay. The auction was ended due to the account suspension of
the seller.
All results for this auction are null and void.
