DESCRIPTION The Dodge Viper RT/10 stunned the automotive world as a showcar and astonished everyone when put in production. With the RT/10, Dodge gave U.S. buyers a Cobra for the 90's. The Viper RT/10 shown above ,top, left, is a curiousity as it is correctly colored for the 1996 model right down to the Viper emblem on the side and yellow wheels. This variation was part of a five-car set. Also shown are the four regular edition colors to date and four of the World Class examples produced. Like the best of any toy diecast, these make you want the full-sized car. Is this the Jaguar 'E' type of the 90's? According to the waiting lists to get a real one, the answer is yes. Like the Matchbox 'E' type of the 60's, this is the car to have for kids and collectors.
