The largest personal collection of Dodge Vipers in the world belongs to D'Ann Rauh and her husband, Wayne. The couple recently made a trip, from Arp, TX, to Chrysler's Conner Avenue Assembly Plant in Detroit, MI, to pick up one more Viper. This latest addition brings their personal total to 41 examples.

Rauh's Viper was the last of the current-generation Vipers to complete its journey through the Conner Avenue plant and a lot of people worked together to ensure that it was a special one. Ms. Rauh is a member of the Mid-South viper Club of America and worked with the Dodge Design Team to make this one special snake.
House of Kolor supplied the custom bronzed gold paint, which was applied by the factory. Having worked with the Raus' before, they asked Tony Spampinito from Venzano to supply a number of custom leather interior components. The five-spoke forged aluminum wheels were finished in dark graphite. After custom copper stripes were painted by Prefix, SRT's own Bob Soroka airbrushed layouts of several Viper-significant racetracks on the stripes.
To celebrate the end of an era, members from the Motor City Viper Club and the Viper Club of America joined the Raus' at the Chrysler facility. Also joining in the festivities were Dodge President and CEO Ralph Gilles and plant manager, Shelly Brown Gordon. Check out the video below for the inside story on this car.
