A 2017 Dodge Viper GTC ACR-Extreme with only 44 miles has shattered auction records, selling for $532,999 in a recent sale hosted by duPont Registry Live.
This staggering price reflects the car’s rarity and pristine condition. The black-on-yellow track weapon is believed to be the only 2017 model with its unique single center stripe and one-of-one paint scheme. It also comes equipped with the Extreme Aero Package, though Dodge shipped the large front splitter and rear diffusers separately—still included in the sale.
Record-Breaking Sale Details
Chad Cunningham, CEO of duPont Registry Live, confirmed the auction’s outcome.
“We have had some great results on Gen 5 Vipers on duPont Registry Live, but this is the best so far. It’s a digital auction record for a Viper, so it’s an amazing result for an amazing car.”
The car’s original window sticker listed a factory MSRP of $154,085, though the final sale price far exceeded that figure. This sale also surpasses the previous record for the most expensive fifth-generation Viper sold on Bring a Trailer by $130,999.
Why This Viper Stands Out
The Viper’s Extreme Aero Package enhances its track performance, though the front splitter and rear diffusers were shipped unattached. According to Cunningham, the car is “billed, paid, and about to ship out.”
Cunningham added:
“This one just had it all. Consignment from a local client, and it was a one-of-one build with low miles and no mods. It set a new market for future A+ Viper examples like this.”
Market Trends and Collector Demand
The sale highlights the growing demand for high-performance, low-mileage collector cars. The fifth-generation Dodge Viper, particularly in rare configurations like this ACR-Extreme model, continues to attract premium prices. Enthusiasts increasingly value original, unmodified examples with minimal wear.
While this record-breaking sale may seem extraordinary, the collector car market has seen stranger outcomes. As the V10-powered brute becomes more scarce, prices for top-tier examples are expected to rise further.
