Local college auto program ordered to CRUSH their pre-production '92 Dodge Viper (worth $250k) in 2 weeks.

seems there were 100 of these at various schools, these were not street legal, without smog devices and speed limiters. apparently twice now some kids took them out and wrecked and crysler/fiat got sued for millions

so htey are ordering all them to be destroyed.

some how I hope one could be declared a historical piece like they do houses etc. we have two great auto museums which wouild be a great place to show it

Automotive professors and students at South Puget Sound Community College (SPSCC) were in shock Tuesday after being notified their $250,000 preproduction Dodge Viper SRT must be destroyed within two weeks. (seattletimes.com)

I doubt Chrysler could enforce this order, other than - of course - promising to never donate another car. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 6, 13:00 1
- Depends on the contract the school signed when accepting the car. -- nm - TWuG Mar 6, 13:11
i imagine it'll just disappear... -- nm - colin Mar 6, 12:48 2
- I was thinking, wouldn't be that hard, show them a video of the car being placed in a crusher, the doors close, cut to a blue cube being removed - zeitgeist Mar 6, 12:55 1
  - another thing....just take the engine/tranny out...now you have a nice display -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 6, 13:33
