Lightning was never actually referred to as any specific vehicle &#8230; he\u2019s\njust a racecar &#8230; but this tribute certainly draws a crowd everywhere it\ngoes.

This A100 has a smooth hotrod appeal: yellow\npaint, chrome wheels and a great stance. Nothing terribly fancy underneath: a 318 V8 and automatic transmission,\nbut these have fantastic curb appeal and give you a great excuse to say \u201cDon\u2019t\ndrive like my brother.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.barrett-jackson.com\/Events\/Event\/Details\/1992-DODGE-VIPER-RT\/10-ROADSTER-235911\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1992 Dodge Viper RT\/10<\/a>&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1170\" height=\"732\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dodgegarage.com\/news-api\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dodge-In-The-Desert_IMG003.jpg\" alt=\"1992 Dodge Viper RT\/10  \" class=\"wp-image-32779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dodge-In-The-Desert_IMG003.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dodge-In-The-Desert_IMG003-523x327.jpg 523w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dodge-In-The-Desert_IMG003-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dodge-In-The-Desert_IMG003-700x438.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the early \u201990s, the Dodge Viper set the\nworld on fire: A rip-snorting V10 engine and those curves made anyone behind\nthe wheel look like a superhero. That\ninspired the 1994 debut of the TV show <i>Viper<\/i>, where the car was part of a\nfictional federal crime fighting team.\nIt was about as good as you&#8217;d expect that to be (hint: it wasn\u2019t!), but it\nwas fun watching the cars. This\nparticular Viper is super original and has just over 300 miles on it &#8211; a time machine back to the beginning of what\nbecame a 25-year legend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.barrett-jackson.com\/Events\/Event\/Details\/1968-DODGE-CHARGER-R\/T-426-HEMI-236584\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1968 Dodge Charger R\/T 426 HEMI<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/a>&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1170\" height=\"738\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dodgegarage.com\/news-api\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dodge-In-The-Desert_IMG004.jpg\" alt=\"1968 Dodge Charger R\/T 426 Hemi \" class=\"wp-image-32780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dodge-In-The-Desert_IMG004.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dodge-In-The-Desert_IMG004-518x327.jpg 518w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dodge-In-The-Desert_IMG004-768x484.jpg 768w, https:\/\/test.api.dodgegarage.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dodge-In-The-Desert_IMG004-700x442.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s been a bunch of recent buzz about a\nparticular green movie car driven by a famous actor in an equally famous chase\nscene. In that film, he was chasing a\n1968 Dodge Charger through the streets of San Francisco and if you watch\nclosely, the Charger lost a hubcap. Check\nthat, the car actually lost EIGHT hubcaps during the scene. Despite the continuity mistakes, that\ncemented the Dodge in the world of car enthusiasts. This one at Barrett-Jackson will certainly\ngive you reason to talk about movies &#8230; and you\u2019ll do it in a hurry as this is a\nnear perfect restoration of one of only 211 \u201968 HEMI engine-powered, 4-speed Chargers! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Phoenix metro is a fun place in\ngeneral &#8230; and in the middle of winter, the weather is about perfect. Expect lots of sunshine, cool (even chilly) temps\nin the morning, but 60s and 70s for daytime highs. If you can break away from the auction,\nthere\u2019s plenty for a car enthusiast to take in.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/502806553602359\/permalink\/548307402385607\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Superhero Saturday<\/a> is a fundraiser put on by local police that includes a car show.&nbsp; <\/li><li>We have friends in local clubs too; don\u2019t be afraid to check in with the <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Arizona-Viper-Club-150641831634091\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arizona Viper Club<\/a> or the <a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/arizonalx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arizona Modern Mopar<sub>\u00ae<\/sub> Club<\/a>.&nbsp; <\/li><li>Of course, we are bringing our Dodge Thrill Rides for another year of showcasing amazing machines while letting you ride shotgun around our custom designed drifting course &#8230; for FREE!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Scottsdale is more than just an auction; it\u2019s\na full-on lifestyle event.
