These are great cars but we have to face the fact that they aren't like an original HEMI or a pre-war car, some unfortunately just aren't worth the time/money it would take to bring back.

They can still be useful in junkyards, helping other cars to live longer.
I agree in principle; HOWEVER, the problem with some of the junkyards are they only keep a car on the lot for 30 days......then CRUSHER time. So, being one of members on this forum from Memphis, I do my best to grab what people want/need.

I've saved at least one car probably 2 or maybe even 3 (counting Chameleon) from the crusher.
