I was reading over the comments at that site... and I was surprised at the number of people that posted who supposedly were into Fieros, yet had never heard of an Enterra Vipre. These people have obviously never spent any time here at PFF.
Located in Washington State, eh? It would be interesting to hear what Bill Eaton might have to say about this particular Vipre.

Not one of my favorites. It did not age well.

Well, that's your opinion.  I've always liked them. Still do.
One thing I will say though... is that taking photos using a cell phone... with it's wide-angle lens... completely destroys how the car (any car) actually looks. It totally distorts the car's dimensions/proportions.
When selling/photographing a car, use a proper camera with a standard focal length lens.
No offense to the OP... but geez man, could you have uploaded a less flattering photo of that beautiful car!

Well this is all for you then.
Just never a fan and the proportions were always off as it was a bad take of a Ferrari 512.
New photos can't fix this.

I suspect the Enterra Vipre being sold is the one that was previously located in Houston BC (population 3600). How it ever ended up there, I can't imagine!

I purchased it up in White court Alberta CA - This picture certainly looks like it. I bought it from the ORIGINAL OWNER - I have all the documentation and it only had just over 18k Kilometers or 11k miles as it sat in his garage for many many years as he wore out the clutch - I had to of course drop the entire engine and trans full sub frame to put in a new clutch. ------------------

Whitecourt Alberta (population 9,927) is in the hinterlands as well. I suspect it's the same Enterra Vipre.

The cradle could've been tipped down at the rear while still attached at the front (which is how I've done it twice to replace a clutch)... but yeah, neither way is much fun.[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 04-20-2023).]
