that is one of the reasons 90s jdm "shitboxes" have skyroketed in price few are left since they were cheap drift/street cars that you could destroy and it wasnt expensive and most of them were crashed, rusted to hell, are in trash condition or have too many miles
Some owners dont want anyone else to buy their car after they die. Espacially true for JDM cars. They don't want some kid to drift their beloved car into a tree or they are singaporean. in which case nearly every old car is scrapped. --- Post updated --- they don't want everybody to import the cars they want. They want people to buy the cars that they have or something. And here in Singapore its 35 years.
im pretty sure it’s so people buy cars from us manufacturers/us built cars, to support the economy, and it’s very outdated
If you try to restore one, you've essentially become Arnie Cunningham from Stephen King's "Christine." Apart from the fact that its likely that your car can't fix itself. Because they are quite literally impossible to restore, they destroy them.
No, they’re not? What are you talking about? It’s not super hard to restore a car if you know what you’re doing, it’s just expensive.
Another reason why no one restores them: it's too expensive. And what do you do with something that no one uses anymore? You throw it away.
Except for me. Also, why would you throw away history? You seem to be someone who thinks museums are useless. Not true. Also not true.
If you're trying to get a Ford Galaxie that's been sitting at Colorado Auto & Parts for 40 years, go for it. If you get it running, good for you! Now let's say you're attempting to fix a Model T with no cabin, no engine, a chassis that's snapped in half, and no real purpose to get it running, think about it: is it worth it?
Well no, but that’s not the type of cars @Touhoulover28 was talking about. Also, where would you find that and how would you tell it’s a car?
Well, let's just say this is a scenario where you could tell it was a car. Also, I have no idea where you would find one. Again, let's go into the world of make-believe and make a scenario where it's all possible.
ok, context time: would you throw away this taurus if it was in the backyard of a house you bought? note that it wouldn't run, and the majority of the engine ancillaries and suspension parts would need to be replaced to make it reliable again.
I cannot see the photo, but probably not. What about a classic 1969 Mustang Boss 429 in basically the same condition?
It's sad to see older cars getting destroyed but it's sadder when they aren't doing what they're made for, and that would be driving.
bump i see that you are new here, when you see the red box down below, it says that this thread is old, replying is not reccomended to these old threads, due to people thinking its new. hopefully you understand.
