Listen to this deal!

nice find and even better price.

FWIW, a buds uncle bought a viper a few years ago and it was cool and all but after riding in it I found it to be one of the most uncomfortable cars I have ever sat/rode in. He ended up selling it as he thought so too. He paid 40k for it and sold it 6 weeks later for 46k not a bad deal.

All in all though, I think I would put up with the ride and put a bottle on it.
 
My dad wasn't the one actually at the auctions, his friend who is a car mechanic was (that probably has nothing to do with it but I don't know.) He knew my dad was looking to buy a viper so called my dad and actually had him on the phone during the auction. I'll ask my dad about it. The guy also bought an eclipse for his daughter there. I'll try and find out more info for you guys.
 
Don't get fooled by those online pay-to-join auctions. 80% of the time, seisure and goverment surplus auctions sell things at market value anyway. You only hear about the good deals. Sure, you have a better chance of finding a good deal, but something like that Viper are 1 in a thousand at best.

Oh, I would go with gunmetal or black stripes on that if any at all.
