Silver 17″ tri-spoke aluminum wheels are mounted with 275/40 front and 335/35 rear Michelin tires that are said to have been replaced by the selling dealer. A temporary spare tire is located inside the trunk, and the car features independent suspension and ventilated four-wheel disc brakes.
The cabin features seating trimmed in gray leather along with a matching dashboard, center console, and door panel inserts. Amenities include air conditioning and a factory AM/FM cassette player.
A black three-spoke steering wheel fronts white-dialed instrumentation that includes a 180-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline, and center stack-mounted auxiliary gauges. The six-digit mechanical odometer indicates 310 miles. A crack in one of the gauge bezels is depicted in the photo gallery below.
The 8.0-liter V10 was factory rated at 400 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, which is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec T-56 six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. An oil change was carried out in preparation for the sale.

Documentation accompanying the car includes manufacturer’s literature with a black Viper-branded carrying pouch as well as a window sticker detailing factory colors and equipment. Two sets of keys and a Viper VHS tape are also included.
