This 1994 Dodge Viper RT/10 is a two-owner Canadian example with just 2581 km (1,603 miles) from new. After taking delivery in April 1994 and driving it for a year and about 1100 miles, the original owner stored the car in a heated garage, starting and driving it regularly only short distances until the seller acquired it earlier this year. As a result it is in near new condition and still rides on its original tires. Black is great color less commonly seen than red, and this one has never had any body or paintwork and is sold with a clean vehicle history report.

The seller says the paint is near flawless except for a small hood scratch. The first-gen Viper’s aggressive fiberglass bodywork has cool touches like faired-in side pipe exhausts. There are side curtains instead of roll-up windows and no exterior door handles.

The car was ordered by the Mont-Laurier, Quebec, Dodge dealer specifically at the request of the owner. It was built on March 4th 1994 and was then delivered to the customer on April 12th, 1994. The customer, a resident of Ferme-Neuve, Quebec, covered most of the miles in the first year, as the vehicle history indicates he had logged 1874 km by June, 1st 1995.

The seller says the leather-covered seats look practically unused. The instrument panel suits the no-frills nature of the car and all appears to be original except for an aftermarket head unit. The console-mounted shifter controls a Borg-Warner 6-speed manual, the only transmission offered. The car comes with its original side curtains, top and tonneau and their factory storage covers. Factory A/C works.

The aluminum V10 produced 400 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, which propelled the car to a claimed 4.6-second 0-60 time and a 12.9-second quarter mile — impressive for the early ‘90s and even today. The engine was based on Chrysler’s 360 V8 with two cylinders added.

The seller says driving the car puts a smile on his face every time. And though 1994 Viper production of 3,083 cars (246 sold in Canada) was higher than any other model year, there can’t be many first-gen examples out there with mileage this low.
