SALVAGING AN $8,000 DODGE VIPER!

I bought the world's cheapest Dodge Viper, what could possibly go wrong?

Turns out a LOT! I knew when we won this Viper for $8,000 from Copart that it was going to be the roughest I'd ever salvaged, and it was EXACTLY that! But despite some horrendous damage, things turned out pretty good!

TLDR: I have a Viper drivetrain, what do we put it in?

Have a wild Mopar build story of your own? Maybe you've bought a totaled Hellcat or Viper to turn into your dream car? Be sure to tell the story in the comments!

The owner's son crashed it in Dallas. He survived but was in very bad shape. I actually bought some coilovers from the owner since he wasn't able to install them.

This makes the demon look like a buff out special

Glad to hear the Original Owner Survived the Accident, Holy Sheet ! The Damage

It’s always a good day when Lee uploads

That transition from the auction lot to the garage was fire🔥

[George-zqsk]

those BBS LM faces are worth really good money. Many bolt patterns and offsets like this are long long discontinued and there are people who really want period correct wheels. If you have a few of the barrels in good shape it will go a long way. My experience for nice condition lips and barrels has been the BBS groups on facebook or Ebay.

Must have been one heck of a collision.

[kurmitdafrog]

What about installing the viper engine in a DeLorean?

[richardknight]

Can you imagine the speed, the driver and what it STOPPED IN.

[cavanparsons]

You should swap the engine into that ram truck behind you

[CJMediaOfficial]

That's actually dope Copart sponsors you 🔥👊

[SamySantana]

WTF, someone somehow survived in that wreck?

[jsh]

Not the viper video I was looking forward to, but I'll take it.

I call the 96 Vipers gen 1.5 because you got the Momo steering wheel from gen 1 however they went to rear exhaust which is gen 2

I can't believe you sold your soul for a Copart Sponsorship... They have a $99 recurring membership fee ON TOP of basically doubling the final price of the car from the end bid by drowning you in various fees. Say your final bid on a car is $1000. You can expect to pay $1950 BEFORE shipping costs, which can tack on another couple hundred depending on your distance from the yard

the t56 center section is the same as the 93-02 fbody. the bell housing and tail housing are no big deal

[gregjarvis]

Glad to hear no one got killed it looks like Randy Orton hit the RKO on that Viper

[automotivemotorbikerebuild]

Wow the state of the viper, some good parts for other projects, that took a beating. Can’t wait to see srt truck on the road

Me. I don't know that much about the cars. I have red hot rod magazines of the Viper parts. The Viper parts were very useful, including the proper disassembly. And sorting out all the parts on the table, including the transmission is very viable. I've been told because it is usable with Chevy and Ford parts. The tail assembly and the bell housing can be used with a Ford. And Chevy park and be really useful so it's still viable, though. It comes out of A. Dodge Viper, no Dodge Viper par that you can see the Van V10 with 450 horsepower. I've been told it is still a good engine and Dodge does not make a lot of parts for these cars. It's one of those things where a lot of people are going to like to use it. The Dodge Viper shell that's one thing that I remembered was just 1 simple thing. There in a conversation that. The rivets along the side there. When you guys were using the sauce. All can't be bought. But what you can do is use the new studs in there and replace those as a lot of usable parts in there. And that's what I used to do. Didn't know much about cars. And I still learn things about cars so Dodge Viper. I've never had too many of those but know that some of these parts are worth a lot of money still online, even if you sell it eBay, Amazon or any other auction site or just straight out personal sale or business sale But like I said, for a lot of hot rotters. The transmission in the Viper transmission and assembly. That's gonna be worth some money. Because they will use all of that. I've seen this in hot rod magazine. I've seen it in rat rotting. I've seen it in all kinds of different cars. Rat rods rust buckets rattle traps putting the V10 in a rat rod. And then those headers that look like they go out through the side and down for the side pipes. They'll actually order some parts and make them go out like zombies. I've been told that they're called zombies because they go up on the outside of the car straight up. I've seen them in traffic myself.
