Not old enough to be a classic, not young enough to be a new car, the Dodge Viper still wins hearts and breaks banks across the U.S. A two-door two-seater has just sold for $150,000. The original owner paid $109,535 to drive it off the showroom floor back in 2010.
The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro retails for around $22,400 in its highest-spec 2SS model. A Ford Mustang of the same age, with a V8 engine under the hood, typically sells for an average price of around $15,000.
The Dodge Challenger SRT8 that rolled off the production line in 2010, for instance, is a $20,000 affair. A 2010 Porsche 911 goes for $80,700. Yet, there is one car out there that, at 15 years old, still revolves around mind-blowing average pricing.
What you are looking at is a Dodge Viper ACR from 2010 (why else would we have turned Google upside down to find prices from sports and muscle cars from that year?), which just went home with someone who paid $150,000 for it.
The 15-year-old Viper ACR was listed on Cars and Bids a decade and a half since it had seen the light of day at the Conner Avenue plant in Detroit, and bidding escalated quickly. However, after seven days online, it failed to reach the undisclosed reserve. The highest bid stopped at $110,500.
The 2010 Dodge Viper ACR almost remained unsold
As usual, the auction organizers reached out to the seller and the highest bidder via email, trying to help them strike a deal. It seems that it eventually happened, because the car was sold for far more than originally proposed by the boldest bidder: $150,000.
Yet, a fourth-generation Dodge Viper with this sort of spec sells for even more on the used car market. Classic.com reports that the average price for the ACR sits at around $195,000.
However, there isn’t really a used car market for the Dodge ACR since just 20 saw the light of day, which makes these cars super rare. So the average is basically the price of the only car sold: an example finished in black with gray racing stripes and only 69 miles (111 kilometers) on the clock.
Whoever ordered it new 15 years ago knew exactly what to do to hit the jackpot so many years later. The one recently listed online is an example finished in Viper Race Yellow, featuring a black soft top over a black interior in leather and suede.
It rides low and wide on five-spoke black finished 18-inch wheels, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2, a hint that the owner must have appreciated grip on the very few times they drove it. The Vipr ACR is equipped with the Customer Preferred Package 21B, has dual side exhaust, and an anti-spin differential rear axle.
V10 naturally aspirated firepower and very low mileage
The car is powered by the mighty 8.4-liter naturally aspirated V10, which pumps out 600 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual throws all these to the ground through the rear wheels. The owners it had over its 15-year-long career haven’t enjoyed all that oomph much.
The odometer only reads 2,340 miles (3,766 kilometers), which translates to an average of exactly 156 miles (251 kilometers) per year. Not much tire-shredding, not many winding roads, and not many “OMG, this is so fun!” which must have turned into “OMG, it looks so good parked!” Owners must have considered that cashing in is more entertaining.
Not surprisingly, the Carfax report shows zero accidents and no mileage discrepancies, but shows some scratches on the passenger’s side rear jack support. The car had an engine oil and filter replacement in 2023 and received a new battery in March 2022.
In late November 2025, it was sold for $150,000 by the one who had purchased it in 2023.
