Dodge Viper SRT/10 Hurst 50th: serial #1 coupe and #2 convertible reunited

In the collector-car world, it’s rare to see the “first” and “second” examples of a series survive the years and reappear together. That’s exactly what’s happening with the Dodge Viper SRT/10 Hurst 50th Anniversary: in 2008, Hurst built just 50 of them, and the two standouts—a coupe carrying serial number 1 and a convertible with number 2—wear a unique gold livery and are effectively one-off pieces, a pairing that only heightens their appeal.

Mechanically, this is the analog Viper with no electronic aids: a massive naturally aspirated 8.4-liter V10, rear-wheel drive, and a six-speed manual. In its anniversary tune it was rated at 600 hp and 560 lb-ft, and the personality is underscored by a Hurst pistol-grip shifter, a Corsa exhaust, adjustable Moton suspension with Eibach springs, and forged wheels finished in black chrome—a spec clearly tailored to purists.
