RE: Hording Muscle Cars?

[Steven Charette <stevec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree, I think another great era of musclecars is headed for a screeching
halt in the next few years unless something changes.

My bigger concern is the "Cash for Clunkers" initiative which relegates old
cars to pop-can-deposit status.  There are a few knowledgable folks in
government who realize that not every old car is a clunker, but the idea is
to pay some set amount for any old car to get them off the road.  While
nobody is going to scrap a nice Belvedere or Polara, that 4 door parts car
you need to finish your project could bring somebody thousands of dollars
off on their new Prius.

Check this out and get informed.

Subject: Hording Muscle Cars?




The guys in my car clubs are having some interesting discussions these days
about the Obama owned GM and Chrysler and the new laws on fuel mileage he
made.  Most say the modern muscle car (Challengers, Chargers, Camaros,
Shelby GT500, AMG Mercedes and BMW Ms) with 400+ horsepower will die as they
did in the late '70s' under Carter, since Obama wants only Prius and Insight
types coming out of Detroit.  Some say they will buy some new ones, horde
them, and get more '60s and early '70s muscle cars and horde them too.  It
looks bad for the current crop of great muscle beig built, so I guess all of
us with the old muscle are lucky.
