I did a bit more checking and it turns out that newsclip was from last
fall. Unique Performance has since declared bankruptcy (financial in
addition to moral ;)) and an auction was held earlier this year to raise
cash so that the investors and clients could recoup some of their money.
That auction raised under a million so they're doing another round near
the end of June. Apparently some of the bodyshells are not constructed
with a great deal of care - there's stories of 5-gallon cans of bondo in
the trunks of some cars.

Crushing such cars sure seems like a very narrow minded solution.
Hopefully all the new components can at least be salvaged if it's only
the core body shell that's at issue.
