2006 was the first year for the Dodge Viper SRT10 Coupe. The Viper was an American high-performance vehicle built in the same vein as the Shelby Cobra some three decades earlier. The original Viper lacked many things, including creature comforts, side windows, exterior door handles, traction control, and anti-lock brakes. What it did offer was performance and sheer horsepower. Power was from a Lamborghini-designed V10 engine offering 400 horsepower. This was the first V-10 ever fitted to a road-legal automobile.

Over the years that followed, the Viper became more refined. It would gain creature comforts and various amenities. A coupe body style was offered for the second-generation Viper. The first major redesign was introduced with the third-generation Viper for the 2003 model year. Along with updated styling, it also gained an 8.3-liter engine which now offered 500 horsepower. In 2005, Dodge introduced the SRT10 Coupe at the Detroit Auto Show. It remained highly similar to its drop-top sibling in appearance, but sported a double-bubble roof of the previous Viper GTS.

This 2006 Viper is finished in the optional shade of Viper Race Yellow, with dual black racing stripes and rides on polished wheels. From new, it has been driven just 2,600 miles. It is powered by a 505 cubic-inch V8 engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission.

In 2016, this car was sold at auction for the sum of $57,200.
