This Bright White (Paint Code GW3) Challenger is absolutely stunning after being refinished in its original color. The quality of the paint is nearly flawless with brilliant shine and luster. A small amount of overspray was noted on the passenger rear quarter area. The white (Trim Code V3W) power convertible vinyl top looks showroom new and really completes the almost luminous look.  The chrome and brightwork appear to be in good shape, but the chrome on the rear bumper is showing signs of fade and would benefit from a re-chrome. The wheels look new, wrapped in the quintessentially muscular raised white letter tires. Other factory options include the fender mounted turn signals, body moldings all around, and the aforementioned white longitudinal stripes which appear showroom new with no fading or cracking.

The interior of this convertible is really set off by the striking white vinyl front and rear seats. While these seats were believed to be the original black bucket seats that were installed in the factory, they were sent off to an upholsterer in 2020 to be reupholstered in white. This contrasts well with the black carpeting and white door panels. Astute Mopar enthusiasts will notice the Rallye gauges inside the faux wood trim of the dash. An original HD TorqueFlight transmission is operated by the stock t-handle and operates as expected. The power convertible top switch works well, and the mechanism itself allows the top to go down in just a few seconds.

Mechanically, this Challenger runs and drives well. The original 383 Magnum provides ample power with a great exhaust note.  The engine compartment has been recently detailed and looks excellent. One enhancement noted was the replacement of the stock exhaust manifold with a set of Doug’s Headers. For many enthusiasts, this was a great choice that will really deliver the deeper, throaty sound that one expects from a big block car with dual exhaust. Another interesting note is the presence of the engine block heater, as this car was built for the Canadian market. The steering is responsive and the alignment is straight with no issues found during the test drive. This convertible was also equipped with power brakes and power steering, making this a great top down cruiser that anyone can enjoy with confidence.

With such little usage, there isn’t much in the way of service records (the tires are still original!). But don’t worry, this car has not been neglected; everything works as it should and it drives like new.

The 1996 Viper marks the first year of the SR II second generation. In fact, in 1996, the Viper was the most powerful American built sports car and is now an automotive icon. A well known fact about the Viper is it’s very raw driving experience. With a massive V-10 engine, manual transmission, and basically zero electronic driver aids, this car gets wild real fast and really requires the driver to be skilled.

This Viper was purchased on January 27, 1996 from Chapman’s Las Vegas Dodge and shipped directly to Tuscon, Arizona where it has resided in the personal collection of Bruce Caruth since new. We have a copy of the original purchase order. This Viper cost $69,275 in 1996! This car was driven mostly to car events within Ventana Canyon Country Club. So yeah, this car has been babied.

This particular Viper is painted in Viper Red with eye-popping yellow wheels and decals (factory original options). The interior is black with a stunning red leather wrapped steering wheel and shifter. There were only 166 RT/10’s built with this color combo, making it extremely rare.

The exterior condition is overall excellent. The only blemish we noticed was a small paint chip where the hood meets the front bumper. Beyond that, this car shows just as good the day it was built.

Mechanically, this Viper is powered by an 8.0 Liter V-10 pumping out 415hp at 4,100rpm with peak torque at 480 ft/lbs at 3,600 rpm. All that power goes through a rear-wheel drive limited-slip differential. This Viper runs like new. There really isn’t much else to say here. It’s only got 730 miles!

The interior of this Viper is outstanding. The leather seats are nearly perfect, all trim pieces are solid and fit together as they should. The car is free of any rattles or shakes. This Viper does have air conditioning, and also comes with an extra set of keys, the original owners manuals / books, floor mats, tonneau cover, side window inserts and optional hardtop.

This Viper is probably the closest thing you’ll find to a new car from this generation. These early Vipers are iconic, and with the discontinuation of the Viper nameplate all together, these cars are only expected to increase in value. Now’s the time to get in on this modern classic.

This car is available for inspection at our Phoenix Showroom. For more information, contact Daniel at +1.917.890.4230 or at daniel@classicpromenade.com
