Destroying a Hellcat ?

[anlauto]

This might be old news, but I just watched the episode tonight on TV.
I don't get the Velocity channel, but this week is a free preview week and of course all the shows are old.....

But I couldn't believe my eyes....First when "Gas Monkey Garage" had a 1970 Super Bee monster truck.....How cool is that....

But then they jump onto a new Hellcat    

Did anybody else see this ? I'm sure the video is out there too

I think that was the prototype they pulled the engine out of to swap it in to another project.  Since Dodge was going to crush it anyways I think they let Gas Monkey do it.  Sucks they ruined a cool piece of history.

Yea...That's the exact story they told....but why not at least strip it of parts.....

Without donors, survivors would not be as plentiful.

I heard the owner of that Hellcat had just found out about the Demon?       Just Kidding!!!   

Yea...That's the exact story they told....but why not at least strip it of parts.....

Kind of sucks that they have to crush the prototype . . . 

[HP_Cuda]

Yeah and they do it every time.

No official VIN/VON or official drive-able documentation is why I think they do it.
