Dodge may have killed off the Viper in 2017, but a pristine example of the GTS-R Final Edition ACR was grabbed for $402,000 in a Bring A Trailer auction. Besides being a limited edition with only 51 miles (82 km) on the odometer, this Viper is also special because of its #001 numbering on the dashboard.
Back in 2017, Dodge celebrated Viper’s 25th anniversary with five special editions. One of those was the GTS-R Final Edition ACR produced in a limited number of 100 units, and it sold out in just two days. All cars were painted in Viper White with blue racing stripes and gloss black 19″ ACR wheels. Courtesy of the Extreme Aero package were carbon-fiber details on the front canards and brake ducts, a large splitter, and a huge rear wing dominating the tail.

All over the cabin, there is black leather and Alcantara upholstery accompanied by red stitching and details. The Sabelt seats provide great lateral support and the #001 numbered plaque on the dashboard proves that this example was the first to roll out of the production line. As you would expect from a 51-mile car, the condition is immaculate and the Viper looks like it just came out of the dealership.
The 8.4-inch touchscreen on the center console looks fairly modern incorporating the Uconnect infotainment, navigation, rear-view camera, and satellite radio while there is also a premium Harman Kardon sound system for audiophiles. Don’t expect a digital instrument cluster though, as the fifth-generation Viper (VX) was unveiled in the distant 2013.

Under the bonnet, the mighty 8.4-liter V10 produces 645 hp (481 kW / 654 PS) and 600 lb-ft (813 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission with the help of a limited-slip differential. All ACR Vipers were fitted with mixed Kumho Ecsta V720 tires (295/25 at the front and 355/30 at the back), and came with a 10-way adjustable suspension and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes.
With an original sticker price of $145,340 back in 2016, this 2017 Viper ACR has obviously appreciated a lot. Judging from the condition of the car and the $402k paid for it, we’d say there’s a strong chance it will remain a garage queen even though it was designed for the track.
