Here's my question to this debate(?). All those trucks, that were traded in for the "cash for clunkers", that could have been potential classics some day....were they just crushed? parted out? Did this "CfC" make the potential for repairing our older trucks more affordable, or did it make it more difficult to find donor vehicles? I know that any vehicle traded in under this program were NOT wholesaled out.

Simply put, a liquid containing sand was poured into each CFC vehicle's crank case, adn the engine was run until it seized.

All cfc's were "recycled." Dealers weren't allowed to resale them.
