A Viper Awakes From Its Retro Reverie, and It’s Just as Glorious as Remembered!
Well, well, well, dear readers, run your eyes over this cherry red charmer. It’s a 1994 Dodge Viper RT/10, as muscular as a prime stallion but much more venomous. Born from Chrysler’s alpha-male, Tom Gale’s, mind and designed in-house, these composite-bodied titans ruled the ‘fast and furious’ of the ‘90s!
Such brash, belligerent beauty… It’s reminding me of Tonya Harding landing that triple in ’94, complete with a kit involving the scandalous “smooth” air-intake tubes, a six-speed manual transmission, and a V10 that purrs out 400 horsepower. Not being equipped with ABS, one might ask – isn’t this just a tad too hardcore? But remember, folks, driving in ’94 was akin to wielding Excalibur: only for the brave and the capable.
There’s a removable soft top for sunny Sundays and Quartz leather interiors for classy cocktails on Fridays. Or perhaps you’d want to show-off the forward-opening clamshell hood on any which day ending with a ‘y’. And the 12k miles on the odometer? A marketed forbidden mistletoe for vintage lovers. As a preserver of relics myself, low mileage gets my gears rolling.
Funnily enough, the Carfax history shows this serpent on wheels was registered as a taxi in 2019. I’m sure scrolling through the Yelp reviews of such a taxi ride would be worth a few laughs while sipping an evening whiskey.
Given its unique features and its Vincent Van Gogh level of attractiveness, let us say that this car can easily be labeled “The Starry Night” of automotive history. The asking price? A mere $58,500 in 1994.

To merrily wrap it up, this ’94 Dodge Viper RT/10 is a roaring blast from the past, oozing nostalgia like a broken Slurpee machine. Grand in its existence, extravagant in its aesthetic, and comically humble in its ostentatiousness. It’s truly a grave sin not to ingest every bit of its grandeur.
