UPDATE: Christmas in July!
7 months after locating the original owner, he FINALLY sent me all the original documentation showing, once and for all that this is a 1/9 Unicorn Viper. Paperwork from Arrow, emails back and forth with Dodge, docs he had to sign (or not get the car) that invalidated the warrantee! Dodge even send him all the OEM parts that came off the car prior to delivery (full exhaust system, incl exhaust manifolds, original chip, camshaft, etc). Too bad that stuff didn't make it past year 5.
Still, I am ecstatic. As many of you guys will agree, having a paper trail on any performance car is gold. It was the only thing I was missing on this awesome machine. I am so glad he saved everything!
PS It also was sorta fitting that this "gift" came THREE DAYS after we finally got back into our house after the fires from 12/29/21. The record of 190 days without the family sleeping in our house is OVA!
