Dodge customizes the last 2010 Viper coupe for owners of the world’s largest Viper collection.
Dodge Brand President and CEO Ralph Gilles (right) and plant manager Shelly Brown Gordon (third from right) welcomed more than 400 hundred loyal Viper owners at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit to celebrate the last coupe built. They presented the ultimate factory customized 2010 Dodge Viper coupe to proud new owner D'Ann Rauh (second from right). Rauh and her husband Wayne from Arp, TX. They own more than 40 Dodge Vipers - the largest personal collection of Vipers in the world.
A member of the Mid-South Viper Club of America, D'Ann Rauh worked exclusively with the Dodge Design team to select the personal touches she wanted on her car. House of Kolor supplied the custom bronzed gold exterior paint. Tony Spampinito from Venzano, who has worked with the Rauhs on previous projects, crafted its custom leather interior.
Bob Soroka, from Chrysler Group LLC's Street and Racing Technology team, airbrushed layouts of Viper-significant racetracks into the custom-painted copper stripes applied by Prefix. The five-spoke forged-aluminum wheels are custom painted in dark graphite. Members from both the Motor City Viper Club and the Viper Club of America participated in the celebration. Rauh's Viper is the last of the current-generation Vipers built at the plant. Production on the Dodge Viper started in 1992.
