what did this come from

Did this come from the Viper tv series or just some movie?
Its a shame to see the cars wrecked. I wonder how many vipers have been wrecked in television and movies productions over the years.

Who can say? I'm sure a few have met their end via. TV/movies. Plenty more went out of this world the old fashioned way..... Faulty steering wheel nuts.

Every time I see a Viper wrecked, I wonder how many of the 25,000 that were made up through '06 are left.

I think the same thing. With all the cars having a VIN ,is there some way to get info on how many still exist? Would Chrysler keep some kind of data base? Has anyone with some pull ever looked into it?
Auto insurance companies have lots of stats...would they have a # of wrecked vipers?

That TV series "VIPER" was filemd in BC Canada. {with the goofball detective 'Frankie'} did not actually wreck these cars.....As I recall there were about 6 PVP cars, 2 cut in half, for hauling/filming with a dolly camera. I also recall that several of these mules only had 360 V8s in them!

And of course the "Defender" built by Metalcrafters, that the Viper 'morphed' into.

One of TV cars was illegally sold after the series cancelled...i remember the litigation discussions.
