Ma Mopar Sending Green SEMA Challenger Vert to the Scrap Yard?

By Rob Einaudi

Editor-in-Chief

Jalopnik posted this an hour ago. Looks like it’s the same car they had in the Mopar booth at SEMA last year. My buddy Dale in Detroit thinks it’s the same car. I know Dodge cancelled the production Challenger vert, but are they really gonna just scrap the show car?

Update: I’m being told that Coach Builders Ltd. built two of these cars, and both were painted the same green. One is now privately owned by Coach Builders, and the other is owned by Chrysler and is being scrapped.

Update #2: Now I’m told that Mopar Performance stepped in and saved the car. The new plan is to mod the hell out of it. I’ll keep you posted.

Well, at least I now know for sure it was a Hemi truck. I would feel a little unnerved if Chrysler didn’t use one of thier own vehicles to tow the Challenger.

Apparently none of the auto executives have heard of auctions. It would be hard to imagine that car not gong for higher then the price of scrap metal. Or put it in the Walter P Chrysler Museum.

Brett’s got a point, but still, why??? It doesn’t deserve that fate. Poor car. And is that an F150 doing the tow??

Its a concept and therefore would have an X VIN making impossible to register.

That would suck if they just scrapped the show car. Stick it in a museum, sell it on E-bay, trash it on the test track anything but scrap it.
