I finally got my hands on a brand new AYK VIPER and i couldnt be happier, so i thought i would share some photos,

Looking great! Did you find it in Australia? Seems like there are a few of Vipers there
I've been searching for one myself for a couple of years now, almost given up now.

Yeah i found it in Australia, your right there does seem that there is a heap in Australia, problem is nobody wants to sell them unless you make them an extreme offer and even then unless they own 2 they wont part with them, if your really interested in finding one the best way is to search for someone who has one and make an offer cause if you wait for one to come up you will be waiting a long time. cheers and good luck.

Hard enough finding the Viper owners But I guess that's the way to make some progress in this matter. I mean, I'm ready to pay for it. Just not the sums people are asking for NIB cars...

First time I've ever seen this buggy...its really kool. Love it!

Does it have to be NIB?

I own 4x Vipers. 2x new in box and two built. Only 1x has seen minimal use. Problem is these cars cost a bomb to buy at any time or place if they are in new or great condition.

I think I just fainted.

Rollcage.

Metal.

Laydown shocks.

Chain-drive.

Black & Gold.

Sex. Sex. Sex. I had forgotten how hella desirable the old-skool AYK kits were...

...which is better, really, given what prices good-condition (or, worse, NIB) cars command.

thanks for sharing and congrats on sourcing one!!!

Very nice Viper. I could be wrong, but is the rear wing on it, original? It doesn't really look like the usual one... all the Viper kits I'm aware of, have had the curved rear wing.
(Note: the kit box photo rear wing, to my knowledge, has never been available - but I'd be happy to be wrong about this if someone else knows otherwise!).

I've got one of these on the shelf, always thought it was kind of ugly. Never did run the thing...
