This 20,000-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper GTS ACR Heads to Bring a Trailer AuctionMotoriousJohnny PuckettFri, September 11, 2026 at 8:00 PM UTCAdd us on GoogleThis 20,000-Mile 2001 Dodge Viper GTS ACR Heads to Bring a Trailer AuctionA 2001 Dodge Viper GTS ACR with just over 20,000 miles on the clock is currently up for bid on Bring a Trailer, and it's shaping up to be one of the more thoroughly documented examples of Dodge's homologation-special coupe to reach auction this year. Finished in Viper Race Yellow over black leather, the car carries Lot #263,260 and is scheduled to sell on September 15, with bidding already past $50,000.This particular Viper was ordered with the ACR Competition Group, a factory option package that added 18-inch BBS wheels, five-point harnesses, and a revised intake on top of the standard GTS coupe. The seller has since layered on a handful of performance-minded refinements, including an IPSCO billet power-steering pump pulley assembly, 4.10:1 differential gearing, Koni dampers, and a Random Technology cat-back exhaust. Power comes from Chrysler's 8.0-liter V10 paired with the Viper's six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, while creature comforts are limited to an Alpine CD stereo, projector-style headlights, and air conditioning.The ACR badge stands for American Club Racing, a package Dodge introduced in 1999 specifically to help Viper owners compete in SCCA events. Cars so equipped received an alternate intake that bumped output to 460 horsepower, a firmer racing-tuned suspension, and roughly 50 pounds of weight savings achieved mostly by deleting interior trim and the factory fog lights. Most ACR coupes were bought by racers and rarely saw meaningful street use, which makes a well-documented, road-driven example like this one somewhat unusual in today's market.AdvertisementAdvertisementAccording to the listing, the car has spent the bulk of its life registered in Georgia, and the current owner has added roughly 11,000 of the 20,000 miles shown since buying the Viper in November 2007. It's now offered with a copy of the original window sticker, shop and owner's manuals, service records, spare parts, a car cover, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Georgia title, the kind of paperwork trail that tends to matter a great deal to buyers shopping in the ACR's rarefied end of the Viper market.Hagerty's valuation tools currently price a 2001 Viper GTS ACR in #3 (Good) condition at roughly $63,500 as of the July 2026 Price Guide update, with values across condition tiers ranging from about $57,400 to $73,367. That figure is up 6% over the last quarter but still down 2.2% year-over-year and off 15.3% from where the ACR stood three years ago. Recent comps back up that range: an identical-mileage 2001 GTS ACR sold for $77,070 in April, while a 10,000-mile example brought $78,750 the same month. Zoom out to the broader 1996-2002 Viper generation, and Hagerty's data shows 95 cars selling at public auction over the past year for a combined $6.6 million, an average of roughly $69,500 a car, with the number of Vipers changing hands up 32% year-over-year, a sign that interest in these second-generation cars remains healthy even as ACR-specific values cool slightly from their recent highs.This isn't the first well-kept Viper to cross the block this year. Motorious has recently covered a 2,600-mile 2001 GTS fitted with an Autoform widebody kit and Hennessey 650R engine work, a 469-mile 2013 SRT Viper GTS that returned to Bring a Trailer, and deep dives into both the 1995 Dodge Viper and 1993 Dodge Viper that trace how the model evolved into the ACR seen here. Together, they show a market that still rewards originality and documentation as much as raw horsepower.⚡️ Read the full article on MotoriousSign up for the Motorious Newsletter.
