My low mileage (7100 miles to be exact) 96 Viper GTS had developed a leaking radiator. The original owner never drove the car. I bought the car with 5300 miles, from the original owner of 12.4 yrs. Having a low milage car has many advantages as well as a few dis-advantages. Either way I had the original radiator recored because Chrysler doesnt make the OEM radiator for the Viper GTS (Gen 2) anymore. I had the help of the Maryland crew in changing out the radiator as well as replacing the oil pan gasket that is famous for leaking.

Here a re some pics. Thanks to Mikey (Moose), Neil (Shagster), Andy (PontiacAndy) Brandon (BrandonZ06) and Joey (Z06Joe)
