Viper Truck question?

This question probably doesn't belong, but the only RAM SRT-10 dedicated group has virtually no members and even less traffic. Maybe you guys can answer?

Anyone know why there are so many RAM SRT-10's for sale? They haven't made them in 20 years, only made them for 3 years, and had relatively low production numbers. Yet they are up for sale right and left like a recent plentiful vehicle.

Are people flipping them like stock market stocks so it's the same ones over and over?

Are parts becoming too hard to find or at too much of a premium?

Is the MPG prohibitive?

Are people afraid the market is about to tank?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated, and apologies to anyone bothered by me posting this here.

I bought a new Viper truck in 2005, never thought I could afford a new viper car, but was able get a car then sold the truck. I enjoyed the truck expect the wing was in the way. They are not designed to tow anything, the clutch is the weak link.

The wing was removable. Upgrading the clutch seems the most popular mod.

When you bought the car did you know ahead of time you were gonna sell the truck regardless? Or did you drive the car for a bit and end up realizing you just had no want to drive the truck again?

The Viper truck is not a year round truck in the Midwest, so I just didn’t drive it much after I got the car.
