You Can Buy Chris Farley’s Dodge Viper

The first generation Dodge Viper RT/10 is one of the more storied American cars of the modern era, and one that has a reputation for being a bit of a handful. This particular 1995 example, offered for sale by way of Bring a Trailer, was previously owned by the cousin of Ford’s CEO. You might know that former owner better as comedian, actor, and Saturday Night Live cast member Chris Farley.

According to the BaT listing, Farley acquired this first-generation Viper in August of 1997, just a few months before he passed away at the age of 33 in December of that year. Farley would be seen in public with the car during his ownership, with images of the pair even making their way into an article that comes included with the sale. The car has lived a relatively spoiled life since the late nineties, having covered a mere 11,000 miles since new. Of course part of that mileage might come down to the reputation that these cars have for being difficult to manage. This particular car has a set of 335-section Michelin Pilot Sports out back however, so I wouldn’t worry too much about traction issues. It is also worth noting that this 1995 example does not come equipped with an anti-lock brake system.
