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:

.  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.
