A Dodge Viper with a V10 engine, 12,000 miles, and a strong auction price has just sold for $169,000.
The 2017 GTC Coupe attracted competitive bidding, highlighting renewed enthusiasm for used performance cars with analog powertrains.
Originally purchased for $115,090, it now represents one of the clearest examples of how limited production and raw engineering continue to drive up value.
This sale shows how collector interest has shifted from low-mileage storage queens to well-driven, well-kept icons.

Dodge Viper sells for big money at auction
Finished in Adrenaline Red with Gunmetal stripes, this Dodge Viper GTC came equipped with key performance options.
It had 18- and 19-inch Sidewinder II wheels, Time Attack suspension, Brembo brakes, and a side-exit exhaust.
The overall condition showed signs of careful ownership despite the mileage.
Inside, the cabin featured black Nappa leather with Alcantara inserts, a Harman Kardon sound system, navigation, and adjustable pedals.
Importantly, the car retained its factory originality, a detail that helped drive the auction price well above the original MSRP.
Among used performance cars from the 2010s, this example stands out for its spec and condition.
The engine remains the centerpiece.
The 8.4-liter V10 engine delivers 640 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential.
Acceleration is quick, with a 0–60 mph time just over three seconds when conditions allow.
Despite being driven for over 12,000 miles, the car’s clean history and factory spec made it a standout.
Auction results like this show that buyers now value real-world use and strong mechanical condition more than delivery mileage alone.
This particular Viper proves that used performance cars with a solid pedigree are only growing in value.
Mechanical icons like the Viper hold their place
The Dodge Viper occupies a rare space in the modern collector car world.
It’s part muscle car, part supercar, and fully committed to a no-frills driving experience.
As Dodge phases out V10 engines and shifts toward electric performance, models like this have gained new relevance.
Unlike more recent performance models that lean heavily on electronics and driver aids, the Viper relies on displacement, balance, and driver input.
For many enthusiasts, that makes it more desirable than newer high-horsepower offerings that lack engagement.
This auction price isn’t a one-off, it reflects a wider trend where mechanically raw, limited-run used performance cars from the 2000s and 2010s are rising in both value and profile.
The combination of a V10 engine, manual gearbox, and unmistakable presence puts the Dodge Viper in a league that buyers increasingly want to be part of.
As more examples like this hit the auction block, it’s becoming clear that the Dodge Viper is no longer just an intimidating sports car; it’s a modern collectible with a market to match.
