The first-generation Viper was designed in-house at Chrysler by Tom Gale and utilizes composite body panels over a tubular steel space-frame chassis. This example is finished in Viper Black (PX3) and features fog lights, a removable soft top, a removable rear window, zip-up vinyl side windows, a forward-opening clamshell hood, and side-exit exhaust outlets.
The 17″ tri-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires measuring 275/40 up front and 335/35 out back. The RT/10 is equipped with power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, four-wheel independent suspension, and four-wheel vented disc brakes with RT/10-branded calipers up front. 1995 models were not equipped with ABS.
The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in Quartz leather with a matching dashboard, center console, and door panels. Additional equipment includes a heater, air conditioning, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo linked with a trunk-mounted Alpine CD changer.
The three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 180-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline. Auxiliary gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and voltage are mounted atop the center stack. The six-digit odometer shows 11k miles, fewer than 500 of which were added under current ownership.
The 8.0-liter OHV V10 was factory rated at 400 horsepower.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Tremec T-56 six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
An article showing Farley behind the wheel of the car during a traffic stop is included in the sale along with an August 1997 purchase agreement and a California title in the late actor’s name.
