 DESCRIPTION

The Dodge Viper GTS is simply the most desirable U.S. production car of the decade, followed closely by the original Viper RT/10. With the GTS, Dodge gave U.S. buyers a true supercar, ready to run with Europe's finest. The Matchbox Viper GTS is available in all-American red, white or blue, and looks perfectly proportioned. Like the best of any toy diecast, it makes you want the full-sized car. Is this the Jaguar 'E' type of the 90's? According to the waiting lists to get one, the answer is yes. Like the Matchbox 'E' type of the 60's, this 3-incher is the car to have for kids and collectors.
