OLYMPIA, Wash. — South Puget Sound Community College has a rare piece of automotive history, and they have to destroy it - not sell it, crush it.
Chapman said the college got a letter from Chrysler on Mar. 4 saying that in keeping with the agreement to accept donated cars, the school must now destroy the Viper by crushing it and carefully document the procedure to ensure it is in fact, destroyed.
“And I can understand the parent corporation of Chrysler as well as Chrysler corporation, we need to get this off the market because if it got stolen there would be liability concerns,” said Chapman.
