The red snake hasn’t touched the ground in 15 years and now needs some urgent TLC
A Dodge Viper that spent 28 years on top of a Kentucky dealership sign has been brought back down to Earth. Audubon Chrysler has only removed the Viper once before for a refresh and that was 15 years ago. Images of the Viper back on firm ground reveal the ravaged paintwork and a ton of straw under the front clam. For nearly 30 years, a Dodge Viper perched high above a Kentucky dealership sign has served as a bizarre, sky-high monument to Mopar muscle and marketing theatrics.
The red paint, baked by years of summer sun, has gone flat, a layer of lacquer seemingly peeled away, the headlight glass is green and the clip-in black plastic side windows are covered in a thick coating of algae. We don’t get to see inside the 1996 Viper to find out how weatherproof those 1950s-style windows are, though we’re guessing it’s pretty mouldy in there. But we do get to see under the clamshell hood, which appears to have served as a handy nest for birds in the Henderson area.
