I am not a huge car buff, but I have found out this week that both of my cars are now considered rare.
First my daily driver is a Dodge Caliber SRT4. From a registry created on one of the SRT4 forums they have 206 VIN numbers from the 482 produced, so almost half of the cars are registered. I did a little math and it appears that roughly 8-10% of the cars registered are Sunburst Orange, so will assume on the high side of 10%. That would make my Caliber SRT4 1 of 48.
- 2008 production: 482
- 2009 production: 222
- Total production: 704
I have the production numbers for the 2008 Dodge Viper listed below, so according to the chart my car is 1 of 65, but the list here doesn’t show which cars have stripes, so I would guess the Viper is about 1 of 48 as well.
I guess it’s pretty cool if I can keep both of them in great shape for about 20 years. It will totally suck to try and sell one off in a couple of years as most people won’t want some sort of rare car that parts may be hard to find. I guess I need to treat them with care and keep them looking good as long as I can.
HERE’s to having 2 cars that are 1 out of 48 in the World.


The european Ford models are so much better than the US models. Not just in aesthetics but in performance and efficiency too.
