When the last Viper rolled off Dodge's Conner Avenue line in 2017, the run ended with a proper exclamation point: the GTS-R Commemorative Edition ACR. Chassis No. 60 of just 100 built is now crossing the block at Mecum's Nashville 2026 sale, and the photos here, courtesy of Mecum Auctions, capture a car that still looks showroom-fresh at just over 12,600 miles.
Underneath the carbon-fiber-flared bodywork sits the same 8.4-liter V-10 that made the Viper a legend, tuned here to 645 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque and paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual. Finished in Pearl White with Pearl Blue racing stripes, this example carries the full ACR toolkit: a limited-slip differential, Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes with red calipers, 19-inch wheels with blue accents, Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, and a 10-way adjustable suspension. The Extreme Aero and Exterior Carbon Fiber packages add the towering adjustable rear wing, dual side-exit exhaust, and aggressive splitters that make GTS-R cars instantly recognizable trackside.
Only 100 GTS-R Commemorative Edition ACRs were built to send off the fifth-generation Viper, and no two seem to find buyers the same way. Motorious has tracked several other survivors, including a modified example built for a Bring a Trailer sale and a numbers-matching ACR that stuck closer to its factory roots. Snakeskin Green-liveried final-year ACRs have also popped up at a no-reserve auction and an ultra-low-mileage Scottsdale sale in recent seasons. Every sale adds another data point to a market that still hasn't fully settled on how to value the last Vipers.
Hagerty's valuation tools track Viper values back to the model's 1992 debut, and the most recent update to the Hagerty Price Guide showed the entire 1992-2010 lineup pulling back this past quarter, ACR variants included, after the outsized gains those cars posted during the 2020-23 boom. Early RT/10 roadsters have given back roughly a fifth of their value since peaking in 2021, and the beloved 1996-2002 GTS coupe has slipped from its own high-water mark too, even though both generations remain well ahead of where they sat before the pandemic-era run-up. Hagerty analysts framed the pullback as a market correction rather than a crash, pointing to insurance quote activity that continues to hold up across Viper generations. The fifth-generation cars built for 2013-2017, including this GTS-R Commemorative ACR, haven't been folded into Hagerty's standard valuation tool yet, but with only 100 examples made and genuine sub-13,000-mile survivors this clean, rarity alone should help insulate late-model ACRs from the broader softening Hagerty is tracking in older Vipers.
For a car that closed out one of the last analog, naturally aspirated American supercars, No. 60 of 100 is a compelling case study in how the market prices rarity against originality. It's scheduled to cross the block as Lot F138 on Friday, September 25, at Mecum's Nashville 2026 auction, with its 25th Anniversary car cover, window sticker, and owner's manual included in the sale. Anyone brushing up on how we got here should also revisit Motorious's own look back at the Viper's two-decade run as America's supercar, and its take on whether limited-production Vipers are shaping up to be the next great Mopar collectible.
