Snakeskin Green over Tan Premium leather is one of the rarest combinations this Viper came in, and a commenter called it the best color ever to adorn the model. Bidding on Bring a Trailer has reached $50,000 with three days left. The seller has posted repair receipts and pre-repair photographs.

What it’s worth right now
Kelley Blue Book puts the 2009 SRT-10 convertible at private party values of $55,500 to $64,100 with a $60,400 resale figure. Retail asks sit higher, with a 36,127-mile 2008 coupe advertised at $79,995.
Those figures assume typical mileage and no damage history. Fair value lands at $55,000 to $68,000, with $60,000 the most likely close, since the 9k-mile odometer and rare color push up while the accident entry and permanent artwork pull down.

Condition and details
The damage entry deserves the weight it is getting. Carfax describes disabling damage in October 2024, and the seller explains that a right-front sidewall failed, the car hit a curb with its left-side wheels, the wheels were repaired, and a knuckle replaced. He posted the work order after a commenter suggested it and says the repair was done by a dealership with a factory-trained Viper technician.

Two commenters raised the right follow-ups. One noted a rear wheel looks tweaked in the pre-repair photographs and that Viper suspension work needs someone familiar with these cars, and another said a wheel refinished that heavily deserves a balance check. Both are inspection items.

The artwork is the other permanent decision. Hand-painted motifs finished in gold leaf cover the hood and fenders, and a commenter noted that Snakeskin Green is difficult to blend if a panel needs repainting. Recent work covers a soft top, Michelin tires, a battery, and an air conditioning recharge, while the seller recommends a door window seal and speakers.

What makes the Viper SRT-10 unique
Nothing else built in America has ever worked like a Viper. The fourth-generation car grew its V10 to 8.4 liters for 600 horsepower, kept the six-speed manual as the only transmission, and went without stability control, which is why a commenter called this generation the last of the analog Vipers.

Its reputation rests on that refusal to modernize. Side-exit exhausts that cook the sills and steering that reports everything have become features rather than faults. Snakeskin Green appeared on a small share of production, which is why these draw attention in a market dominated by red, blue, and black.
My take
Fair value sits at $55,000 to $68,000, with $60,000 the most likely result, and the crux is how a buyer weighs a disclosed accident against rare presentation. The seller handled it properly, posting damage photographs and publishing the work order rather than waiting to be asked. A 9k-mile Viper in this color with fresh rubber and a new top is appealing. The artwork narrows the audience and rarely returns its cost. Get the suspension and wheel balance inspected, and $60,000 is fair money.
