- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- Some cars are worth a 24 hour road trip! We hop in the truck and travel down to sunny Florida to pick up this heavily modified, 1200hp, twin turbo Dodge Viper. The car was tuned by Nth Moto, one of the most capable shops in the country on the Viper chassis.
To the naked eye, this car does not look overly bad. The damage from the accident is extensive though. The further we dig, the more we find. This particular car was purchased just for parts. But, the question is, would you have fixed this car?

I know someone who is gonna be SUPER STOKED when he sees viper content!
U beat him here!
Having been a Viper/Prowler tech at a Dodge dealership, the answer is yes. Yes I would fix it. I would also then sell it because it’s a Dodge. 😎
Lmfao. U seem to be a smart individual!
Should have dodge coin
Liar you was a floor sweeper at dodge. 😂
@@scraplifegarage You don't, because you love LS's
@@darianistead2239 HEY, we're the smartest idiots you'll ever meet!
Hands down my favorite Gen viper other than the Gen 5. Absolutely beautiful body lines.
Iconic is the only word needed.
Just when I was thinking….the damage isn’t bad at all why are they parting it out!?? You went on to explain the frame damage which was subtle yet extensive! Very interest
It’s amazing how far the damage went
This is PS they make more money parting it out and they blame it on tiny hit, I wish they were honest about it, it’s sad to see beautiful cars ended up on their hands , unsubscribe
Great video guys. Word of advice, make it a priority to put a big bolt thru the Hilo fork. It keeps the chain from sliding…
Yeah, good suggestion. It’s always a little sketchy when we have to pull motors that way. Saving grace on that forklift is that the fork tilt back very far. So, I fret gravity helping a bit.
The Viper was the car that should have never happened. From the cheap interior to the goofy 3 spoke wheels to the poor tolerances of the front fascia/hood/head lights. It was just a modern version of the 427 Shelby Cobra. 50% of the 1000 Vipers made in 93 were crashed or totalled, this car wont tolerate stupidity. For all the bad things this car is, I just love it. Great channel btw.
Everything stated in this comment is accurate! 👍😁
yes of course, unique enthusiast stuff like this is already automobile history
The 2nd gen viper certainly is!
That's awesome! Rare to see another viper the same color as mine. They only made 23 in 1998 and 21 in 1999.
That makes this thing being a total loss even more heart breaking. 😭
Man, this Viper is too nice to be scraped. This frame issue is easily fixable. Just need to push it back into position before replacing panels and soldering's.
This is a classic now. Really hope you do the right thing. I would definitively watch it's restoration.
Cheers!
Oh, we did the right thing 😁
@@scraplifegarage You scraped it then. I knew it. Dang. lol
@@xarups which was the right thing!!
That house looked very familiar. I flew to Jacksonville about 15 years ago and bought a 2000 550hp pro charged TA 6 speed. The red hot rod in the center of the garage stall was the giveaway after seeing the house…..WOW!! Just WOW!!!
Small world type stuff!
Jeff, was the T/A crashed? If so, what did you have to give? I'm wanting to do a engine trans transplant on my 69 gto!!
A gen 2 viper is essentially an expensive casket
Lol, some of these comments are comedy gold!
@@scraplifegarage I don't have the stones to drive one, even my gen 5 tries to kill me
Since the dodge viper is my dream car I wanted to cry during the whole video
I bought the long block from this wrecked Viper. Currently dropping it in my 2001 Sapphire ACR.
I mean, it's a shame but as soon as I saw that mangled rocker panel it was obvious the only way to bring that back around would be to find another Viper, send the parts crated up to Nth Moto and let them redo the whole thing on a new frame.
Would love to see a beast of street slayer built on that engine.
We have a couple of built viper motors in stock that can certainly mmm she sone dreams come true!😁
Part it out?
The right shop could definitely fix that. Nth moto powered, no less. That's gotta be a blast to drive.
(I have faith it was repaired, not parted out. lol)
Yes
👍
@@scraplifegarage lol call it nostalgia 90s cars designs hit different
The only car more badass than a gen 2 GTS is a gen 1. Remember, when the Viper came out (29 years ago) It could run a 12.1 quarter which would smoke any Lambo or Ferrari at a fraction of their price. Is it midevil? Yes, but Dodge made a special car.
I was too young to remember their initial unveiling. I’m sure it was pretty special tho! Definitely an iconic car. No matter what it’s flaws may be.
This is a CPE "Evolution Series" Viper turbo kit, not Nth. I know because I designed the cast manifolds for it. My friend, Paolo Castellano (the "C" in CPE) designed, built, and sold these. AEM infinity package from Nth and tuned by Aaron.
The exact engine from this viper is on sale on ebay so my plan is to buy it and then modify it to fit in a ride on lawn mower
It’s a good plan for sure!
Awesome video
its your fan from down baltimore. this car seems to have been done right. when someone cages a car and it looks as good as factory or better, someone had this down rght. if you turn this into a cart im going to come there and ring someone's neck. tt vipers are outstanding. every calvo car owner ive seen on y.t. has only had praise. nth moto builds cars every bit as good as calvo. im curious the rear pass. wheels doesnt look centered the the well or its protruding past the fender. i could be wrong. godspeed!! make this a mega monster.
Swing by sometime and say what’s up Gregory. 😁
@@scraplifegarage will do gentlemen that sounds like a fantastic offer I'd enjoy that
Ill take those turbos for my gen 1 Viper:)
She's hurt. . . Bad 🤕
U ain’t wrong
No LS I’m sorry, I love that year Viper
Dalt could definitely take Carrington in a fight for sure!
Without a doubt
Wait, they aren’t the same person???
Maybe they are, maybe they arnt 😁
Is this the same one that was sold on BAT a few months back?
No, this car has had the same owner for several years.
The RT-10 was based off the 427 Cobra... But the GTS was based off of the Cobra Daytona coupe... Meanwhile the 3rd Gen Viper seems to have been based off of the Honda S2000.
Of course if doesn't pull at the heartstrings like the GTS did.
Would be nice to know what you paid for the car?
12:20 i dont think they are safe from factory either so putting it back on road isnt a big problem i suppose xd
Touché
YES YES YES
Dalt at the legendary bussy’s
I wasn’t seeing the “not fixable” thing until that passenger side oh boy
Can’t miss an opportunity!
The damage was indeed far beneath the surface
I worked at an automotive sealer company and dodge gave us a viper tub to squirt sealer on and they had us destroy it after .... so I've cut up a viper chassis
Can I buy Gen1/2 Viper parts directly from you? Im finally pulling the trigger and will be buying within 30 days.
Leecparts.com
i would love to own that car. how much??
The chassis will be listed on leecparts.com
I have a 2010 camaro ss and I want the rs headlights but can't find them would anyone have the rs headlights? And do you need a wire kit for the headlights to work?
We get them in sometimes. Idk about the wiring. They wouldn’t need ballast or anything. So the wiring would be different.
@@scraplifegarage ok thank you!
The more I watch this vid the more I wish you rebuilt it so I could buy it. Makes me sad.
4:06 I agree that those wheels dont do it for the car. What would you recommend for a red 2nd gen RT/10 if you inherited one but shouldnt sell? I was thinking running 3 spokes off a gen 1 with Stop Tech big brake kit.
If ur sticking with a stock style wheel, I personally feel like the gen 4-5 are much better looking. The gen 1 wheels are extremely dated to me.
How much did you give for that Viper and could it been fixed?
Someone else bought the chassis to fix or use to fix other cars.
Adulting is hard. Buc-ee’s employee. Lol
The motor is strong huh
So sad to see it die like that! It appears like it was originally done very nicely. Care to share what you guys paid for the complete car?
We may have found some additional evidence that this car was in a previous wreck also. Sometimes it can be hard to tell. It was a very nice car tho!
@@scraplifegarage It's ~25 y/o, it's kinda rare to have cars that old without some previous work... especially on a car that's known to be a handful to begin with!
@@scraplifegarage apparently for some stupid reason they dont want to share what they PAID!
Why did Alex sell the viper after 3 weeks?
Alex owned the viper for 3 months. Other things in life came up.
y'all should've saved that viper it wasn't that badly damaged
Any more project cars, you will have to rent more storage
U ain’t kidding lol. We are tripping over em now!
That hood intact is worth $14k
Correct
I know it's business, why fix that iconic vehicle
Part everyone of them of them out. Never fix a viper unless your keeping it.
Sound advice
can not hear you but the music is load
viper ? = better than a mustang = sorry but !
Maybe except for a daily driver. As far as a sports car goes, most would pick a viper I think.
This is PS they make more money parting it out and they blame it on tiny hit, I wish they were honest about it, it’s sad to see beautiful cars ended up on their hands , unsubscribe
You must be talking about another car? Cuz this was not a tiny hit 😁
These cars are VERY expensive to fix. My hood is 21k alone. There is also a shortage in parts
How much for the coil overs?
Check out leecparts.com
Those things were ready for the junk pile when they rolled out of the showroom
Seems to be a common thought process based on some responses
Did someone say Viper?!?!?!
Oh yeah!!!!
100% fixable and would make much more money in selling than parting out 🤷♂️
Time will tell. This car produced tons of great parts!
@@scraplifegarage would be nice to know HOW you think the accident happened???
WAY TO DESTROY ANOTHER RARE CAR THAT IS FIXABLE. I WORED IN A BODY SHOP FOR 15 YEARS ANS COULD FIX THIS CAR EASILY I understand you’re in the business to make money but you could’ve made plenty of money fixing the car and reselling it. Full frame vehicle’s are not hard to fix.
The frame is being fixed or used in some fashion. Just not by us.
10:35 hey if phones are not allowed in Yoo shop. then it’s not a shop⚡️⚡️⚡️I would never work for losers like that, me n my boys need our Toys⚡️
That's why you'll never have/keep a decent job! Talk on your phone on your OWN time! This is a business!
Yes i am fixing my wrecked rt, be it slow.
Slow and steady wins the race right?
Sell me the headlights
The headlights will be listed on leecparts.com
I'd fix it.. I understand you guy's won't because you don't have the skill nor ability, but each to their own🤷♂️
Nice subtle flex. 👍😁
@@scraplifegarage Wasn't being subtle or trying to flex, was having a dig..
@@darianistead2239 ahh, we couldn’t tell if you were serious since you have gvr4 and dorito powered Rx7’s on your channel.
@@LeeC Yeah, I do have some of my cars on my channel..
I don't get how owning, building and putting short snippets of a few of my cars up on my channel has any bearing on what was said either🤷♂️..
The loud. Outhitting Chevy Greek will keep me from ever watch again ,
This has to be fixable and I would say this car is in really bad hands if you guys keep it for too long cuz you have no appreciation for stuff so sell it as is let someone do the right thing with it
You must not have watched the whole video before commenting? 😁
Mirror man has ZERO intelligence regarding this car!!
It’s a shame you parted the viper out. A good body guy would have fixed it to exact tolerance with today’s equipment.
Idk. The frame is pretty tweaked.
WRONG.
I wouldn’t buy it because I think Vipers suck. I know they have hot motors and I still think they suck, I’m just sayin…
I don’t think any one can fault that opinion. For as cool and unique as they are, they have their flaws for sure!
The viper has got to be one of the worst cars ever produced. Scrap it.
If by scrap it, u mean sell every single last nut and bolt? Then yes, we are on the same page 😁
That car is fixable all day long. yall must just not like putting in the work.
