This 4,800-Mile 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe Is a Final-Year Gen 3 Steal at $27,000MotoriousElizabeth PuckettThu, September 17, 2026 at 11:00 AM UTCAdd us on GoogleThis 4,800-Mile 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe Is a Final-Year Gen 3 Steal at $27,000Every so often an auction listing comes along that looks underpriced even while the bidding is still live, and this 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe on Cars & Bids is one of them. Finished in Viper Black over a black interior, showing roughly 4,800 miles, and backed by a clean Carfax, it is currently sitting at a $27,000 high bid with a week still left on the clock.That figure deserves a second look, because this is not just any Viper. The third-generation car, known internally as the ZB I, spent its first three years on sale as a roadster only. The coupe did not arrive until 2006, the generation's final model year, which makes this single-year body style one of the shortest production runs in the Viper's history. Cars with that kind of one-and-done status tend to be the ones collectors chase later, as we have seen with other final-year Viper variants.Dodge engineers built the third-generation car around the memorable "500/500/500" theme: an 8.3-liter V10 displacing just over 500 cubic inches, 510 horsepower, and more than 500 lb-ft of torque. In stock form this engine is rated at 510 horsepower and 535 lb-ft, all of it routed to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual. There is no launch control, no dual-clutch gearbox, and no electronic safety net worth mentioning, which is exactly why these cars still have a reputation.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe mileage is the headline here. At approximately 4,800 miles over two decades, this Viper has averaged less than 250 miles a year, and the selling dealer reports it has spent most of its life registered in warm-climate states. The dealer also notes they acquired the car back in May 2014 and have added only about 900 miles since, so this is a long-term hold rather than a quick flip.A factory build sheet is included in the photo gallery, and the equipment list reads like a well-optioned example. Notable items include a 3.07 ratio anti-slip rear axle, the signature side-exit exhaust, an engine oil cooler, perforated suede and leather upholstery, height-adjustable pedals, and air conditioning. A ceramic coating has since been applied to the paint.The modifications are tasteful and, more importantly, reversible. The dealer lists a Corsa exhaust system with a cat delete, a Roe Racing ECU tune, a K&N cold air intake, Eibach lowering springs, and a set of 2014 Viper wheels. No dyno sheet was provided, so the actual output is unconfirmed, but a tune and freer-breathing exhaust on an 8.3-liter V10 rarely go unnoticed. Crucially, the factory springs, wheels, and exhaust components are all included in the sale, so a buyer who wants a stock car can have one.Disclosure on the listing is refreshingly straightforward. The known flaws amount to some scuffs on the lower front lip and a TPMS light that occasionally stays illuminated, and the dealer notes the tires carry 2014 date codes and that the car may not pass emissions testing in some states thanks to the cat delete. Two sets of keys, the owner's manuals, touch-up paint, and floor mats round out what comes with it.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe auction ends September 21st at 1:30 PM EDT, and with only three bids placed so far, there is plenty of room for this one to move. For context on where the nameplate has been heading, low-mileage examples like this 543-mile 2017 Viper GTC and this 20,000-mile 2001 GTS ACR show just how seriously the market has started to treat well-kept V10 cars. A final-year gen 3 coupe with fewer than 5,000 miles in the mid-$20,000 range looks like the kind of buy people point to years from now.⚡️ Read the full article on MotoriousSign up for the Motorious Newsletter.
