What a shame. Glad this wasn't my car, but can you imagine the power of the shredder in yours?

Friends of mine have a much more powerfull shredder for devouring cars. Heck, it's made for devouring semi's and school busses and the like.

I have nothing against them really (I have only driven a Super once, never owned either), but in terms of value and collector desirability it's not as much of a shame to have lost one. Dad has owned both, and when I found one last year and asked him about going in on it with me, he said no way when he found out it was a Super, for whatever that's worth :).

Amazing amount of power in that shredder to annihilate engine blocks and drivetrain pieces and keep on going. Yeah, I can think of a few people in my life I'd like to have their cars dropped in one.

I doubt that car had it's engine and trans when it went into the shredder..
I did like how the floor under the battery was patched though

Umm.
The one at the recycling yard here shreds whole cars, engine and all.
The biggest bit coming out the other end is about the size of your fist.
You should see what happens when they feed it a propane tank

Saw the propane tank on the first failed episode of Monster Garage. That was a damn big explosion!
