7 Vipers for sale?

[sonicbloo]

Even though I'm probably 3-4 years away from buying a Viper, I can't help looking at the classifieds on a regular basis (as you do!).

PH classifieds currently show 7 for sale in the UK, but when you look at them it turns out 1 is a kit car, 1 is a truck, 2 are the same ASC advert (both sold) 1 (georgeous) silver car (also sold) and 1 is a RHD ex-fire damaged car converted from RT10 to Coupe.

Not much choice at the minute then.........just 1 RT10

thanks for the advice/replies, I'm (or will be) looking for a 2006 GTS coupe in Viper blue....... although in an ideal world with money no object I would go for a later model in Orange or Snakeskin green. I have imported 2 Mustangs from the US in the past, but this was when the dollar/pound exchange rate was almost 2:1. When I bought my latest Mustang (05 GT convertible) I bought in the UK as it made much more sense. I can't see the sense in importing unless the exchange rate improves as I'd be looking at almost £50k, whereas I expect my budget to be £35k max. Whether I can find a GTS coupe within budget in a few years is debateable but you never know your luck!

[sonicbloo]

Yes. sorry for the error! It'll be a gen3 that I want ideally, although I think there were only 200 produced in 2006. I thought long and hard about the one recently for sale in Essex, but the timing was too soon.

Does anyone know that car? The interior looked like it had been messed with (the centre dash panel had been changed to blue), and I thought they all had blue trim on the steering wheel and handbrake, but that one didn't.

Hi All ,

My ASC Viper is NOT sold thanks pistonheads for misleading sold sign !

Hi James, your Viper is now advertised twice! BTW do you know the whereabouts of the 2 blue SRT10 coupes in your customers gallery? Are they still in the UK? One of the registrations doesn't exist anymore so I guess it's maybe got a private plate or it's been exported. One of my Mustangs is on your customers gallery (pictured with the plate '8 CAR')I think it was one of the first 2005 convertibles in the UK, it has all the options including red leather and shaker1000. I've had the car 3 years and have made a lot of changes from when it was new.

Thanks 'Viper' for clearing that up and giving useful info on production figures, although the number of UK SRT 10 coupes is now seeming less than I hoped, but that is the model I'm hoping for so will have to be patient. I have just ordered a Viper DVD (an updated version of my old VHS) and am looking at buying a decent book or two to gain more knowledge on Vipers as i've got lots to learn. I see 2nd hand buyers guides are well over £200 on Amazon, so I'll take a rain check on that for now!!!!!

James, I bought the Mustang 3 years ago with 19k miles. I am the 3rd owner and it now has 35k miles, with no issues so far.

[sonicbloo]

I've took a print of the Essex car's PH advert, seller called Tracy, imported 2010, 1 UK owner, 30k miles, not an FE, 7 spoke chrome wheels, on a 55 plate. Also had a C6 Corvette for sale at the same time, reason for sale - new C7 on order.

Just goes to show the effectiveness of good photos and detailed description when selling a car. Last Summer when it was for sale, there were 6 very poor small pictures and a couple of lines stating mileage and when it was imported. It has now turned from a £35k car that I probably wouldn't bother enquiring about, to a £43k car that I desperately want - no NEED...........

(sadly it's gonna be next year at the earliest when I have the readys)

Note:- at the start of this thread I guestimated 3-4 years, but things are ticking over nicely and investments are looking up! Hopefully next year...........

im 41 today

happy Birthday mate, I'm 49 today! Must be some connection between Valentines day and Viper wanabee's. I'm going to have to sacrifice one of my Mustangs to make room for a Viper, but can't make up my mind which!

EDIT:- I did actually receive a Viper today for my birthday from my wife. Sadly it's only 1/18 scale.......

Numbers 324 and 67

I realise now that FE = final Edition

...........as well as First Edition, I thought you were asking after the 2 x SRT10's.

[sonicbloo]

Sorry for the confusion Nick!

gt500nick said:

I'm lost now, which SRT10's ?

From page 2 of this thread, ViperDave put a quick list of SRT10 Coupes together. Car's 3 and 5 are both First Editions, car 3 has around 4k miles on it, car 5 has around 2k miles. Both advertised for sale in the last 6 months but unsure if they sold.
