Here is a HOT ROD that your friends will envy you for having. This has the best of the both the HOT ROD worlds. It is an attention getter of the classic old hot rods of the 60's but the performance and handling of the latest sports cars out there. At 80 MPH on the highway, you will be cruising at around 1400 RPMS resulting in about 17 MPG. This makes this an awesome day trip cruiser to the lake, out to eat or wherever you desire. However, if you are looking for sheer power and wheel spinning torque, this car has more than most avid drivers can handle. I assure you, this vehicle will get away from you in a heart beat if you don't know how to drive one, and even if you do you should leave it up to the professionals on the track. The first owner of this vehicle was a wealthy older gentleman who put most the miles on it. Approximately 26,000 to 27,000 miles to be exact. The second owner had for only a short period as he was a private contractor for Iraq and not long after having purchased, picked up another contract job that was sending him overseas for 12 to 18 months. So, that leads to me... I am a conservative and cautious buyer. I purchased approximately 3 years ago with around 29,000 miles and have put around 1,000 miles a year on it driving to and from my office. I religiously changed the oil in the spring and fall with Mobile One Ultra Synthetic oil. 2 years ago I put new brake pads and rotors on the monster, changed the plugs and replaced the tires. Since then, I have put approximately 1500 miles on this car. The reason I have decided to sell is because we recently moved out in the country and our driveway is approximately 1/2 mile long and is dusty and dirty. I can't keep the car clean and I have to spend 25 minutes cleaning and wiping down with Windex every time I leave the home. So, time to move on to some other toys and can get dirty and not fret about. ABOUT THIS CAR: Never been in an accident. (NOTE: Carfax reports an incident in 2004. Seller advised what this was for but I have unfortunately forgot. I own an insurance agency and when we run a prior insurance claim history check, we don't find any previous insurance claims. Has the 3M clear bra on the front and mirrors. Black racing stripes added aftermarket. Upgraded exhaust, no idea what it is but sounds like a Nascar and much more aggressive than stock Viper. This car looks virtually new with only very minor blemishes near the wheel wells from small rocks and stones that any car with 32,000 miles would have. There is a small blemish on the back hood but is almost invisible after having used touch up paint (1" by 1/16") Car Hauler nicked corner of trunk with wrench while undoing tie downs while I was taking delivery. Never smoked in and have Viper OEM floor mats. Call Steve at (517)663-0600 with questions. This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION.
