When driving down the road and I see a viper it is one of those things you still have to

stare at.

The viper might be more common today, but they are still a good looking and cool

looking car.

Chrysler as actually donated a couple of vipers in the past.

The Vipers that Chrysler donated for educational purposes are unique versions of

the car boasting around 600 horsepower that can easily manage over 200 mph.

The Vipers donated were pre-production models of the first hardtop Vipers ever

made.

As you might have guessed, this model of the classy Viper is all but street legal.

Many celebrities have tried over the years to purchase one of these unchained beasts,

but have been turned away by Chrysler.

One could imagine that the risk of being held responsible for selling a non street legal car greatly outweighed the benefit of having an extra $250,000 in the bank for Chrysler.

Having already seen the destruction of VINs 1 and 2 by excavator on the internet, the

students and teachers of South Puget Sound feared that their time might be coming soon.

Sure enough, they got their letter in the mail ordering the complete and utter destruction of their pride and joy and provide proof that

the deed was in fact done.

The eight year donated car has not only been used by the college to teach

automotive classes, but it is also a key part of their recruitment program for the

campus.

Only 93 schools can say that they have, in their possession, a pre-production race car caliber Viper for the students to get their

hands on and learn from.

Included in the original contract with the schools involved is the stipulation that “Whenever

vehicles are donated to institutions for educational purposes that they are to be

destroyed when they are no longer needed for their intended educational purposes.

”Although the students are attempting to get a petition to save the Viper from an early

death, Chrysler seems to be resolute in their stance to remove the programs Vipers from

existence.

Reports say that 2 of the donated cars were involved in crashes that lead to Chrysler

shelling out millions in damages.

If that is true, then Chrysler is merely suggesting to reduce the possibility of repeat scenarios by removing the one constant, the

car.
