Obviously, it is a hard-top convertible. How difficult is it to remove the hard-top and is it easily stored in the trunk? Do you have any photos?
Any opportunity for a running video or maybe even driving and a few undercarriage pictures before the end of auction? Nice looking Viper and best of luck on the sell regardless. Happy Independence day to all!
1997 was a very special year for the RT/10 as it finally got the motor upgrade from the GTS bumping the hp in 1997 to 450hp up from 400 in previous years. The '97 V10 also came from the factory fully forged and had a more aggressive camshaft than the rest of the years from the factory. 1997 was also the last year for the smooth clamshell hood. Vents were added in 1998 to 2002 with 1 exception in 1998 that wasn't sold to the public.
@2ndA – I thought it was an 8.3 litre? ...
The 8.3L came with the 3rd gens starting in 2003.
