How about just giving it away or parting it out, then? What a waste.

If it truly is preproduction, which a lot of those 2007 SEMA cars were, it may not have a VIN. Even cars before a certain VIN number are not considered road going, something about crash testing. I think it all comes down to money, the feds will want taxes for every imported car that hits the streets, and likely by crushing you avoid that and possibly have a write off.

You think that is sad, I am certain much more valuable stuff has hit the compactor.

Like this one off:
