🧰 Description Overview

This 1993 Dodge Viper RT/10 represents one of the most iconic and influential American performance cars ever produced. Featuring its original paint, an exceptionally clean interior, and just 19,025 miles, this one‑owner example stands out as one of the most original first‑generation Vipers you are likely to encounter.

The 1993 model year marked the second year of production for the Viper, a car developed as a modern interpretation of the classic American muscle ethos. Inspired heavily by the Shelby Cobra, the Viper was created by Chrysler’s dedicated “Team Viper”, led by designer Tom Gale with direct influence from Carroll Shelby himself. The result was a raw, uncompromising machine built to deliver unfiltered performance.

🔥 Exterior

The exterior is finished in its factory original red paint, retaining the deep gloss and muscular presence that defined the early RT/10. The design is unmistakable:

• A long, sculpted hood housing the massive V10
• Side‑exit exhaust pipes that deliver the Viper’s signature thunderous soundtrack
• A short rear deck and wide stance that give it an aggressive, intimidating road presence
• Minimalist bodywork with no unnecessary features—pure performance form

The removable roadster soft top and side curtains are part of the Viper’s famously minimalist approach, transforming the car into an open‑air performance machine.

🏎️ Interior

The interior is intentionally simple, lightweight, and driver‑focused. This example’s cabin remains exceptionally clean, showing minimal wear consistent with careful ownership.

• Original black materials with preserved stitching
• Analog gauges and straightforward switchgear
• No luxury distractions—no power windows, no traction control, no ABS
• A cockpit designed purely for the driving experience

The Viper’s interior philosophy was simple: remove everything that doesn’t make the car faster.

⚙️ Engine & Performance

At the heart of the 1993 Viper is its legendary 8.0‑liter V10, a powerplant derived from a Chrysler truck engine but heavily re‑engineered by Lamborghini, which Chrysler owned at the time.

• 400 horsepower
• 465 lb‑ft of torque
• Naturally aspirated, aluminum‑block V10
• Paired with a 6‑speed Borg‑Warner T‑56 manual transmission
• Power sent exclusively to the rear wheels

The driving experience is famously raw and untamed. With no electronic driver aids, the Viper demands respect and rewards skill. It is one of the last true analog supercars.

🛠️ Underbody & Mechanical Condition

A visual inspection of the underbody reveals:

• Clean frame rails with no signs of corrosion
• Straight suspension components
• Factory hardware and original underbody panels
• No evidence of damage, modification, or abuse

This aligns with its low mileage and single‑owner history.

📘 Historical Significance

The 1993 Dodge Viper holds a special place in American automotive history:

• A bold statement from Dodge, proving the U.S. could build a world‑class performance car
• A spiritual successor to the Shelby Cobra
• A collaboration influenced by Carroll Shelby
• A design that became instantly iconic and remains highly collectible

This example, with its originality and preserved condition, captures the essence of what made the early Viper so revolutionary.

🏁 Summary

A one‑owner, highly original 1993 Dodge Viper RT/10 finished in factory red with just 19,025 miles. Featuring its original paint, clean interior, unmodified drivetrain, and the legendary 8.0‑liter V10, this example embodies the raw, analog spirit of the early Viper era. With its historical significance, preserved condition, and unmistakable design, it stands as one of the finest early‑production Vipers available today.
