BaT Auction: 1,900-Mile 2017 Dodge Viper GTC ACR 1:28 Edition

This 2017 Dodge Viper is one of 28 ACR 1:28 Edition models produced to commemorate the Viper’s production-car lap record at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. The car is finished in Venom Black over black leather and Alcantara and is powered by an 8.4-liter V10 paired with a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Additional equipment includes a red racing stripe and accents, 1:28 badging, 19″ ACR wheels, adjustable rear wing, front splitter, dive planes, rear diffuser, Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, and Harman Kardon audio system. The car was sold new by Tomball Dodge in Texas and was acquired by the selling dealer in June 2021. This final-year Viper has 1,900 miles and is now offered in Wisconsin with a clean Carfax report and a clean Montana title.

The 1:28 Edition was produced to commemorate the 2016 Viper ACR’s WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca production-car lap record of 1:28.65. Each example was finished in Venom Black with a painted red stripe and ACR 1:28 decals. Additional features include side exhaust outlets and the ACR and Extreme Aero packages, which added an adjustable rear wing, a front splitter assembly, upper and lower dive planes, a rear diffuser, and a revised hood.

Gloss black–finished 19″ ACR wheels are wrapped in 295/25 front and 355/30 rear ACR-spec Kumho Ecsta V720 tires. The car is equipped with 10-way manually adjustable suspension, and driving aids include electronic launch control, five-mode electronic stability control, and all-speed traction control. Stopping power is provided by Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes with red-finished calipers.

The cabin is upholstered in black leather, and the ACR Interior Package added Alcantara trim to the seats, steering wheel, lower dashboard, center console, and door panels. Equipment includes a keyless passive-entry system, automatic climate control, a 12-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, and an 8.4″ Uconnect touchscreen display with a rear-view camera, navigation, and satellite radio. A serialized 1:28 Edition badge is affixed to the right side of the dashboard and indicates that this is car #14.

The multi-function steering wheel frames an ACR instrument panel featuring a 220-mph speedometer, a digital tachometer, a configurable driver information center, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer has 1,900 miles.

The 8.4-liter V10 was factory rated at 645 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque. An aluminum cross-brace is fitted to the engine compartment.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.

A reproduction window sticker shows factory colors and equipment as well as a total price of $143,890.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in Texas and Montana.
