    This is almost as sad as the Chrysler Turbine demolition footage.

    Since it's scrap, its value is probably ~$300 in metal.


    That's under the threshold for Grand Larceny, and definitely worth the hit on my record for petty theft.


    Fork it over, truck driver.

    If 8A150014 is the serial number (ie. last 8 of the VIN), then this is a MY2008 vehicle. DC didn't start building these until MY2009, did they?

    @GotaGurt: Ok, did some homework. There was a MY2008, but the VIN structure was 8H000000. Maybe a spray paint typo. I do that all the time.

    Usually you'll still run "real" serial numbers on development units so you can keep track of them. It's also hard to do builds without proper S/Ns.

    My happy story to make myself feel better about these horrible pictures:


    The truck driver wrote "scrap" on it the same way store employees used to write "trash" on merchandise in boxes and walk out toward--but not to--the dumpster.

    So he's driving casual, acting cool, nothing to see here, folks--and heading for an undisclosed location.

    The End.

    WHY???


    Couldn't Chrysler just auction it off as a collector's item and make some money? If they can't sell it for liability purposes (lack of functional safety features or whatnot), then maybe they could repurpose it as a giant paperweight or something.


    In any event, it's too pretty to scrap.

    So, any wobble-o-matic Charger or (you never know) Camaro 'vert we see jiggling past, its cowl all a-quiver... was almost certainly "created" by a "master craftsman" with a sawzall and a mig welder, and a shitload of bondo.

    @theeastbaykid: The roads around here used to be blessed by the Austin Montego. This was a shoddily constructed machine at the best of times, with next to no structural rigidity. This didn't stop several goons from having a go at convertiblizing them>



    Note also that it is a 4 door, front wheel drive car, so any "strength" is borne solely by that little bit of floor. No word if any of the doors still open.
