Yahoo Autos The First Production Viper, Owned By Lee Iacocca, Sells for $285,000
Update: This story, originally published 1/14/2020, has been updated to reflect the results of this auction.
Earlier this week, we wrote about the auction of Lee Iacocca's Chrysler LeBaron Town & Country Convertible. While cool, it wasn't the only ex-Iacocca car to cross the block yesterday—Bonhams just sold the late Chrysler CEO's 1992 Viper, the first one to roll off the production line, for a whopping $285,000.
Yes, this is Dodge Viper #001. It remained in Iacocca's possession up until his death last year, covering only 6220 miles since leaving the Mack Avenue assembly plant. At the press introduction for the Viper back in 1989, Iacocca declared that he'd take the first one and "I don't care what they do with the rest of 'em."
