I Should Run From This Dodge Viper Superleggera, Right?
I Should Run From This Dodge Viper Superleggera, Right? -April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:46

There are times in life when you should very clearly run. Like when you are being chased by a murderer, or when craft supplies contain any amount of glitter. But then there are times when it’s less clear whether you should run or embrace with open arms. This blue 2008 is one of those times.

I’m no idiot; I know they never made a Dodge Viper Superleggera, but if there ever was to be one, it would definitely be like this one listed on . Isn’t it divine? It looks perfectly fine from the photos. It’s said to have 600 horsepower, hooked up to a six-speed manual. Neato.

And it even runs, too, look.

With 2,199 miles “showing on the odometer,” here’s what the listing says about the magical Viper:

The unit is missing the hood, roof, and trunk and the other panels do not appear to be installed correctly. The rear end locks up when power is applied. The speakers and windshield are missing. The tires are worn. The check engine light is on with codes P0316, P0553, P0517, P2610, P0369, and P2104.

Notice:

TITLE DISCLAIMER: The title is branded “REBUILT SALVAGE - ISSUED BY OH - VIN CERTIFICATION WAIVED”

Bah! Salvage malvage. The fewer parts on it, the fewer things there are to go wrong, I say.

It’s for sale in Georgetown, Texas and the current bid at the time of this writing is a measly $25. Twenty-five bucks! Come on, internet, this is a blessing. A one-of-a-kind Dodge Viper Superleggera with ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.

Wrongness, like rightness, is merely a state of mind. You need to break out of that construct. Do the right thing. Don’t run.

(h/t to Joe!)

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

Today’s Mustang is being sold by a towing yard, which means it’s probably a lien sale. Let’s see if this clean title convertible is priced to put a new buyer on the hook. The general consensus on last Friday’s was that it would be the perfect car for someone...

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...
