This is possibly the best Viper ad ever.

Some Viper Seller posted:

If you already know about Vipers, then you will only care that this vehicle is a 2008 Coupe, Snakeskin Green with factory black stripes, navigation, 19K miles, good tires all round, and is unmolested.

However, if the Dodge Viper is a car you have only briefly seen on a Velocity Channel trailer while switching on to watch a rerun of Wheeler Dealers, or perhaps on an LED-lit faux-3D print in a local mall gift shop, or at a stretch, spotted one across the median going in the other direction on I-10, then I am happy to provide a little more background.

The Dodge Viper has always been an icon since its inception in the mid-90s. The basic concept of lightweight body, sports suspension, huge tires, beefy 6-speed manual driven by a large-displacement torque-monster of a V10 under the hood, have not changed. Thankfully the scary build quality and fold-down windows have gone the way of Jelly Shoes and crimped hair. In addition to having actual side-glass to look out of, the panes move up and down when directed to do so by a switch on the console! It even boasts powerful air conditioning that, while it can't actually freeze time, did frost over the glass on my Timex once during a long drive. The intervening years also saw an increase in the size and power of the mighty V10. It is the largest displacement engine in any production car at 8.4L, and in its 2008 guise, produces 600HP and 580ft/lbs of torque.

If you are looking for a family cruiser to head to the beach, you need to change your Craigslist search to 'Plymouth Voyager'. If your first question relates to fuel consumption, I can put you in touch with a friend who is selling his Kia Rio. If you really like Corvettes but have always thought the Viper had that certain something, then what you'll actually find is that Vipers lack a hell of a lot, including trunk space with room to carry a set of golf clubs (or a sleeve of golf balls for that matter), a second cup holder, traction control, cruise control, or virtually any kind of control whatsoever once you hit 1,500 RPMs. The Corvette is to the Viper what Bruce Lee was to Mike Tyson. Bruce might be easier to live with on a daily basis and could safely be left alone with your teenage daughter, but when the bell rings you want that knock-out punch, not to be cavorting around wearing an embarrassing bandana.

To go with the massive engine, the Viper also leaves the biggest tire print of any production car. The meaty Michelins coupled with ABS-assisted Brembos all round, provide amazing handling, and although I have yet to be able to stop on a dime, I did once park on top of my wife's credit card. For the two weeks the car sat in the garage before we realized what had happened, it saved me a heck of a lot more than a dime.

So if you have reached the time in your life when you like the idea of being flashed by a hot co-ed while going for a Sunday afternoon drive, and occasionally risking your drivers' license and jail time by hitting close to 200 MPH on the toll road (or at the very least knowing all three are distinct possibilities), my Viper might just be the answer to your prayers. If your prayers have already been answered to the point that you have $62,000 available to turn those ideas into reality, send me an email or call.

http://monterey.craigslist.org/cto/4524055282.html

quote:

Custom 1970 Opel GT,
Looks like a mini Corvette Stingray because it was designed by the same person and built in Germany by Opel Motor Company.
Was running GREAT when parked 9 months ago, fires with starting fluid but does not seem to be getting fuel.
Headlight Buckets are up but cable needs installing to lower and raise properly (already purchased)
Great headturner, lots of great comments whenever I took it out.
Make reasonable offer in cash, No Lowballers, Possible trades for 30+ MPG commuter car but prefer cash when you pick it up. No Checks, No Money Order, No shipping prior to cleared funds.

It is a V6 motor (63 Buick I believe) with Automatic transmission.
Custom paint and Hood Scoop.
Stock Tires and OEM Rims with Hubcaps (sorry fat tires are not available)
Interior is in real good condition.
Body is straight, paint is a little rough and could use refreshing to make it show quality again but looks great when cleaned up.

Available for showing any evening, I would love to sell it ASAP. Make me a fair offer!
Email be using the link above to come see it.

The difference is under 100 lbs wet and dressed. That does NOT account for the sag. Beat trailing arms does.

Surely you're not suggesting someone would buy an old expensive German car and then neglect to maintain it properly?

2004 330i performance pack. You can get regular sport package 330 sedans for well under $10k, and 325i's for like $5k all day long, so that vee-dub is stupidly overpriced.

Talked to the Porsche seller; they don't know why its sagging. There's 133k on the body. What concerns me most is there's apparently rust in the front near the battery. I've never dealt with that before and don't know how to.

If you don't know how to fix rust, that can be a dark dark rabbit hole to follow.
