Re: ATTRITION RATE FOR 20 YR OLD CARS
I really like the 3rd gens because they were the 2nd wave off real factory muscle that I was atually old enough brand new.The only thing I never really liked about it is that there isn't enough room under it for a true 2.5" exhaust under it.Basted torque arm . Indiana has the next best thing to the 25 yr rolling exemption, which is no inspection at all.

20-year old cars are from 1990 ... who gives a rat's ass about those POS's ?
I'm more concerned about the attrition rate of 60's & 70's muscle cars than modern day grocery getters !!
:P
modded obd2 cars test the sense of humor meter at the NJMVC - screw em , drive fifties cars

1990s cars... I live in a state that shows a bit of intelligence by the rolling 25 year exemption to smog rules.... so those cars - which mostly are devoid of airbags, easy to change to a carb intakes, and non-computer controlled transmissions can be hot rodded quite easily.
heck it's follows the same reasons (beside gorgeous lines) to hot rod a 55-7 Chev - light, full frame, easy to mod.

Re: ATTRITION RATE FOR 20 YR OLD CARS
I'm certain cash for clunkers claimed a few of these vehicles, but I think just regular attrition is starting to take care of them in the rust belt.

I haven't noticed a lack of any of these vehicles around here. Most are not the greatest shape, but they are around.
