VIPER/1961 CHRYSLER NEW PORT-PARTS CAR

This car runs and drives. Problem is the undercarriage has major rust issues. This is a uni-body system and has no full frame and there is major rot at the rear springs and under-sills beneath the doors. Have had it looked at by two different shop and it can be fixed. I would recommend this car be purchased by someone that knows welding and can do the job them selves without a second party, or someone with a similar car that can transfer the parts to another car.

The interior is immaculate and is brand new, all gages work and the dome instrument panel shell is perfect. Look at pictures.
The interior is totally ready to go into a new downer car, with the engine and tranny combo. Disk brake system has just been upgraded including the master cly.

All the parts are here, working and installed in this car so it will be easy to transfer, engine, tranny, and interior to another car. You have a built in blue print. This car should have a total re-paint if fixing under frame problems.

VIPER V-10, This can go into most full size 50's-60's-70's and 80's cars and pick ups. Pick an early 60's full size Chrysler, Ply, Dodge, and push the Hemi's a-side. This baby can get up and go, go, go.

This car has a clean California title it is not a salvage title.

Interesting to say the least!

deffo a head turner tho.

Nice but looks like a money pit.

I agree with interesting.

If you ever wondered why I dislike modified cars; this is a great 1:1 example.

You see, the idea of re-powering something with a Viper engine is cool. The execution is so very often not worth a $#/+. I especially like the hose-clamp EFI system and lack of any HVAC system (beyond the JC Whitney power windows). The Aspen station wagon emblems on the rear seat are a nice touch.

Still, I have to wonder how rusty could it be in Northern CA? It's not salt-spray roof rust. Of course it could have been something a Michigan hippie drove out west in the 70s.

where are the pics of the rusty undercarriage?

 

[Turboomni]

Too horrible to show I guess.

So let me get this straight.. he spent a boat load of money on an interior rebuild, a paint job, put barracuda vents on the hood, stuffed a super expensive viper v-10 in it, knowing all the time the chassis was rotted out? Then explains how the drive train can be moved to another car as if it was as simple as taking a crap, and he expects someone to give him 18,500 for it?

He put lipstick on a pig,,,drunk guys go for that.

thats the problem i was having with the whole ad..
why not just fix the frame himself/frame shops that he visited?
and the way he casually tosses it off as a parts car too.
the paint pic shows rust under the paint tho,so it could be scary.

and Carmine Sir,Good eye!!..hose clamps on efi...amazeballs.

I just don't get the tach thing on a c body.... you've basically got a 5,000 lb. behemoth rolling down the road, just what are you going to do, rev the piss out of it and do holeshots? Or watch the tach for your best shift point while you're manually shifting the automatic so you can get your 18 sec ticket at the track? No all your doing is ruining a perfectly good and beautifully designed dash by drilling holes in it, and installing some hunk of junk hideous tach! Rant over.
