RHD Dodge Viper

Hi,

A while ago I owned a ’97 GTS. It was terrific car but in our narrow country lanes the LHD 6’6” width was a problem. I have recently seen an ad for a right-handed car converted in Australia and I wonder if anyone has any information about this rare variant.

I haven't seen the car only a rather blury picture although it is a rather nasty metallic orange.

Thanks for the information guys.

Thank you so much for the pics. I have to say the car looks pretty good from the outside. If it can be bought cheaply enough, I wonder if the interior can be improved.

At fear of being stoned to death by the cognoscenti I have to say, I rather like it. The idea of a right handed version appeals. I’ll go on the internet, find some pictures of the real thing and compare.

Thank you also for the nice comments about my website. Glad you like the motors. How about the latest acquisition - the Auburn.

John has done great job. I note the proper interior. By the way www.viperperformance.com doesn’t seem to work.

Looking at images of the orange car, my daughter comments that if one changed the radio of a black one more in keeping it would help quite a bit. I suppose the comment about a kit car is on the money; I guess that, more or less, is what it is.

All this Viper chat has reawakened my enthusiasm. With a set of chrome wheels and some body stripes it would be fun at the right price.

I am a bit confused as the owner of the orange car has suggested that the work was done in Australia. He is way at present but I hope to see the car next week. It is reputed to have started life as a 2002 convertible. I assume it was involved in an accident and converted into a GTS spec. Based on John’s work maybe it could be improved with a more standard interior (at a reasonable price?)

I did look at the Australian website and was certainly struck by the quoted conversion pricing at around £25K for ’97-2002 cars. Ouch!
