A while back, there was a bitter story about Chrysler asking a school to destroy their ’93 Viper prototype. Chrysler had loaned out the car but with the knowledge that the auto-maker still had ownership of it. That meant when the company decided the prototype needed to be destroyed, so be it. The school wanted to keep the Viper around to use as a teaching tool for the students. So the school struggled to convince Chrysler to let them keep the Viper around rather than sending it off to be destroyed.

Originally, it seemed that Chrysler was going to stay firm in keeping the school accountable for destroying the Viper. Now, it seems that they may have been convinced to let this one slide.

A graduate of the school, Storm Hudson, started “Operation Save the Vipers” to help keep the Viper prototype at the school. According to Motor Authority, his efforts may have paid off with Chrysler coming around to the idea of giving the Viper prototype to the school permanently.

While the final outcome still hasn’t been decided, it does appear that Chrysler is being receptive to the efforts being mounted to save a classic pre-production model of the viper.
