We don’t know where this was shot or why the car was being destroyed rather than parted out, but this is wild video. The camera work ain’t the best and the action starts in earned at about :58-seconds in so if you want to skip to that part you can. It is amazing to see this car get absolutely mauled by the huge hydraulic grapple on the excavator. It literally just chews the thing to pieces. Holy smokes, this is really something else.
Oh, apparently the same wrecking yard has four more Vipers that are going to get this “treatment” as well.
Update: At one point the person filming says, “This is a new guy operating this excavator…from Chrysler.”
PRESS PLAY BELOW TO SEE A DODGE VIPER GET LITERALLY EATEN BY A JUNKYARD EXCAVATOR WITH A HYDRAULIC GRAPPLE ATTACHMENT –
Chrysler destroyed 93 Vipers loaned to trade schools after they were no longer useful. They were pre-production some without VIN’s, smog controls and some safety equipment. Lawyers… even sharks won’t eat them, professional courtesy!
That’s to painful to watch. They could have given me the car instead of destroying it.
best use of a dodge viper I have ever seen
