This car was headed for the crusher. I'd bet the floor pan wasn't welded correctly or something to that effect. There are a few reasons brand new cars can't legally be repaired and sold...

So let me get this logic correct.. after full assembly they find a issue they don't strip the parts off.. they just crush it?? Makes no sense. And why would they continue a build if it was found flawed? Ford should and I am sure has QA between steps to make sure that does not happen.. Not saying it doesn't but hard to believe they would crush a new car when the fenders, hoods, door, engine, trans... etc can be re-fit to another new car.

I agree with you, but re-work isn't cheap and sometimes it's easier to get rid of your waste than to stockpile 'extra' parts somewhere... Especially if the defect is caught late, which probably happens more than you know... They don't have QC at as many stages of assembly as you might think...

Sweet vid.

1. The car that was clipped will indeed end up in someone's garage, it will be sold at a ford factory closed auction (ford dealers only) that's where all the test units, competitive comparison units, buybacks and company exec. Vehicles are sold. I was a car buyer for years and assure you they aren't crushing any brand new cars. The car that was hit will be fixed, damage amount disclosed, and sold as a never been titled used car. It (damage) happens much more often then you would think.

2. How sweet would it be to drive around bouncing your car off of the limiter with no cares about having to fix it when it breaks!

No but it will void your Mustang's warranty.
