While the Dodge Viper is no longer in production, sales figures released by Fiat Chrysler Automobile reveal there are still brand new Viper models on dealership lots just waiting to be purchased.
In the third quarter of the year, the automaker sold two brand new Vipers, despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and, most importantly, the fact that production of the American icon ended in mid-August 2017. While it’s nice to see the Viper still selling, the numbers are abysmal.
More specifically, Dodge sold 19 Vipers through the entire 2018 calendar year and five examples in 2019. As for those sold in the last quarter, either the respective dealerships were stuck with them having trouble to find a buyer, or they intentionally stored them in the hope that they increased in value.

The Viper wasn’t the only axed model from the Fiat Chrysler Automobile family to sell a few units last quarter. Figures reveal that Dodge managed to sell a brand new Dart, even though production of that model ceased in September 2016. Elsewhere, Chrysler managed to sell four new 200 models, whose production ended in December 2016, in the last quarter and has sold 10 so far this year. Heck, even a new Jeep Patriot was sold in the last quarter despite the fact that its production also came to an end in late 2016.
It remains to be seen how much the two Dodge Vipers in question sold for. When the car was on sale in 2017, it was priced from $90,495.
