The Details:

This 1997 Dodge Viper GTS is offered from the care of an 18-year ownership, benefitting from fresh paintwork in 2017 to the model’s iconic GTS Blue Pearl with dual racing stripes, and a proven right-hand drive conversion.

The Viper GTS is powered by a legend of the era - the mighty 8.0-litre Viper V10 engine, good for 450 horsepower and 490 lb ft of torque breathing out through a single muffler and twin center mounted tailpipes. This is mated to a six-speed BorgWarner T-56 manual transmission and limited-slip differential sending those horses to the rear wheels.

Following a minor front end accident in 2017, the vehicle was repaired and resprayed to its current GTS Blue Pearl paintwork. The owner notes some stone chips on the front bumper which have been touched up, as well as some scrape damage under the front bumper. The Viper rides 17-inch polished wheels shod in Federal Evoluzion ST 1 tyres.

The interior is black leather, which has been maintained in good condition, showing only the expected wear to high-touch areas such as the steering wheel driver’s seat, and some aging of the plastics.

Air conditioning, CD player and power windows and door locks, as well as safety features including airbags, are included as standard. The original radiator and fan assembly has been replaced with an upgraded part to overcome some overheating issues the owner had previously experienced.

The odometer reads 28,144 kilometers and the Viper holds registration current to 2/3/2026. It was imported to Australia and received compliance in August 2008.

For a successful Queensland buyer, the ‘HELLYES’ plates will be available for negotiation with the seller separately following the auction.

Converted to right-hand drive for use on Australian roads, relatively low mileage with just 28,000 kilometers on the clock and benefitting from refreshed paintwork to an iconic livery, this 1997 Dodge Viper GTS is a fine example of the American supercar and represents a compelling opportunity to experience one of the most infamous driver’s cars of the era.
