Clunked F-150 Goes Out With a Bang

Deputy Editor

Most of the videos I’ve seen of car being clunked have been fairly undramatic, but this old F-150 goes out with one hell of a bang. Watching it made me wonder if anyone’s actually been injured while destroying a clunker, because it seems like there’s some definite potential for injury when you’re intentionally blowing a motor. Have you guys heard about anyone getting hurt while putting down a car?

I work for a Honda dealership, and we’ve clunked quite a few cars ourselves. We had a 1990 Lincoln Town Car that another tech had the pleasure of seizing. Instead of holding it at 2k RPM, he held it at redline, and popped just like that F-150. I’ve also seen a newer F-150′s engine blow apart, as in rods through the crankcase, although the engine was knocking badly BEFORE being drained of oil.

Not yet in The clunkers deal, at the dealership my dad works at they dont kill them until the person makes the payments. So none have sustained an injury there yet
