Reveal the auction result
Based on a completed sale at Mecum Auctions, an estimated value for this vehicle is $88,000.
Why this sale: Exact 1992 U.S.-market Dodge Viper RT/10 with 8.0-liter V10, Tremec six-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential. Only 30 miles were shown. The car was described with Viper Red paint, gray leather, two soft tops, side curtains, owner's manual and delivery-new history to Colonial Dodge. Its exceptionally low mileage makes it an unusually high-value comparable rather than a typical driver-quality example.
Mecum's primary result page displays $88,000 and sold status; the page does not state whether that displayed amount includes buyer fees, so fee treatment is unknown. Taxes and transport are excluded. One auction result is a reference, not an appraisal; condition, history, options, location and market timing can change value. Replaced the February 5, 2026 $54,500 Bring a Trailer comparable with this newer exact-year, exact-trim completed sale found on Mecum's primary result page during the October 3, 2026 review. The extreme 30-mile condition is disclosed rather than presented as typical market value.
More than a set of wheels.
The original Viper was a deliberately simple sports car built around an unusually large engine. Its long nose, wide body, and open cockpit made it instantly recognizable. The first RT/10 helped bring the classic American roadster idea into the 1990s.
Look a little closer.
Count the cylinders: this V10 has two more than a V8 and six more than an inline-four.

Inside the first RT/10
The 1992 test car had white-faced gauges, a gray dashboard and leather-faced bucket seats. Its pedals were offset left to make room for the engine. Side exhausts ran through the sills, which carried heat warnings. Outside door handles and roll-up windows were absent. Later interiors and custom steering wheels in the gallery are labeled separately.
