SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 1997 Dodge Viper GTS, showing just 21,973 miles on the odometer at the time of cataloging. Finished in Viper Red over a black leather interior, this example reflects the unmistakable presence that defined the second-generation Viper — wide, low, and unapologetically outrageous.

This car is unmodified and retains its original character, from the louvered hood and polished 17” wheels to the driver-focused cabin anchored by white-faced gauges and the enthusiast-friendly 6-speed manual. Long-term ownership since 2010 and consistent care have helped preserve this Viper’s head-turning vibe.

Power comes from the iconic naturally aspirated V10, delivering massive torque and immediate response through a 6-speed manual, limited-slip diff, and rear-wheel drive. The result is a raw, unfiltered driving experience — the kind of visceral performance that defined the Viper’s reputation and still commands respect today.

The 1997 Dodge Viper GTS represents a defining chapter in Detroit performance — massive displacement, manual transmission, and styling that remains instantly recognizable decades later. 

With low mileage, long-term ownership, and recent servicing, this example offers a well-preserved expression of the direct, mechanical character that made the Viper legend. For collectors and drivers alike, it delivers an experience that is increasingly rare: analog, demanding, and unmistakably American.

For bidders/buyers: We strive to provide clear and accurate auction listings, but the information should not be considered a complete assessment of any vehicle for sale. Prospective bidders are strongly encouraged to view vehicles in person, arrange independent inspections, and conduct their own due diligence to ensure the vehicle meets their requirements.

Descriptions, commentary, or observations are offered in good faith and represent general, non-expert impressions only. We do not verify or guarantee vehicle condition, mileage, or history, and this information should not be interpreted as a professional inspection or evaluation. Vehicles are not subjected to formal inspections unless explicitly stated. 

Vehicle videos are typically recorded with standard equipment, so audio quality may vary, and engine or exhaust sounds may differ from how they are perceived in person.

All vehicles are sold on a strictly “as-is, where-is” basis. No warranties apply, and bidders must satisfy themselves as to a vehicle’s condition and suitability prior to bidding. Bidders should note that SBX Cars provides information in good faith but cannot verify every detail of the vehicles; the responsibility for assessing condition and suitability rests with the buyer.  For more details, please refer to our FAQs.
