<VV> Chrysler/Fiat orders Rare Collector Car Crushed - Non-Corvair

[Jim Becker]

That's what I think too.  Tried googling terms related to viper and 
accident, all I found is stories about late model Vipers.  The most bogus 
looking part of the whole thing is where is says they were notified via 
email.  If Chrysler really wanted it destroyed, I'd expect a certified 
letter with a return receipt.  If the email exists, IT was probably a prank. 
Somebody needs to look at the headers.

All:

South Puget Sound Community College near Olympia, WA has been told by the
Chrysler-Fiat Corporation to crush a pre-production Viper - the 4th one off
the line.  This 1992 car was donated to the school's automotive program for
educational purposes.  These orders came about as 2 similar educational
cars were driven in public and became involved in accidents supposedly
costing the corporation millions of dollars.  You can find the details at
this news link:
http://www.nwcn.com/news/washington/Olympia-college-told-to-destroy-rare-Dodge-Viper--248667111.html
.  A
petition site has been set up in an attention getting exercise to have the
Washington governor or President Obama "pardon" the car.  I presume if the
corporation holds title to the car, they can do what they want with it - so
bad publicity may get them to change their mind.  The petition site address
is located at:
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/393/174/916/operation-save-the-vipers/.

Now back to discussions about our favorite car.

'61 Corvair 700 4-dr, 84 HP, PG.
