The Mopar Museum is located at our Shippensburg dealership. Shively Motors is proud to share and display some of our long history here in Franklin County.
The Dodge Viper debuted in 1991 as the pace car for the Indianapolis 500. The car went on sale in January of 1992 as the RT/10 Roadster. Lamborghini, then owned by Chrysler, helped develop the aluminum casting for the new V10 engine. The original Viper was a raw performance car with little creature comforts. It had no exterior door handles, no air conditioning, and no real side windows. The roof was canvas and the side windows were vinyl and zipped into place. The Viper continued for 5 generations of changes with a brief hiatus from 2010 to 2013. Due to increasing safety regulations and low sales numbers, FCA finally made the decision to discontinue the Viper in 2017.
The 2004 Dodge Viper is the third generation of Viper. This generation has more comforts than the original such as power windows, AC, and real functioning convertible top. These Vipers, however, have no electronic systems to help correct the driver such as traction control, and is pure horsepower to the rear wheels. This 2004 Dodge Viper was originally sold new at Naugle Motors in Shippensburg, PA. Naugle Motors was the dealership that Shively Motors purchased in 2008 and is now Shively Motors of Shippensburg. This Viper was the personal car of Bill Naugle, one of the previous owners. In 2011 Bill Naugle decided to sell the Viper and was then purchased by Shively Motors.
