OY!
Yeah. They say they were all headed for the crusher, but they couldn't ALL be that bad. Some are still around though, too. Getting purtied up for the sequel(s)....
A lot weren't even complete cars.
The big jump car - no drivetrain. They pulled it with a cable.
That car is on eBag right now getting almost 18K last time I looked.
Most didn't have any interior to speak of - just enough for the stunt driver to do his job.
Most would never see the street again.
Still, some VINs are now out of circulation so that means there are less Chargers out there.
The price of GLs has gone up, but not regular Chargers.
I wonder if the price of orange paint has gone up. [smilie=e:
So, did they wreck any that weren't already wrecked? They say no, but I can't help but wonder how long it's going to take for someone to try to jump a creek with their GL.... So they might just wreck some decent cars - even if indirectly...

The initiator of far too many trips to the ER....

The last time I actually jumped a B- body I was outrunning the boys in blue and I hit an intersection on a gravel road at 100- plus and caved in my headers, knocked a hole in my oil pan which resulted in a ruined 383 which I had a couple grand in. The rest of the car seemed to be ok, it got me to my driveway before it locked up and I only got 5 tickets. So what the hey- gofer it. [smilie=e:
Ah well. It's okay if there's a REASON to jump it.
That qualifies.
but it must have sucked. 5 tickets AND a busted mill...

I was 20 and just out of the army. It was a boring saturday night so I did some circle burns on main street to get their attention. I had outran other departments and got away and repainted the car but they triangulated the direction I went each time and put it together. Cant outrun a motorola after all. [smilie=e:

Only guy I know that ran from the cops was a fella back home who owned a early '70's camaro. He was a bit of a bad-ass and the town was small enough that all the cops knew who he was based on the description of the car, never mind the plates.
Eventually they picked him up at home - he supposedly parked the car a few blocks from his house & claimed it had been stolen that nite and that he was not driving it, but I'm not sure if that's true or not.
I think he spent some time in the pokey over the episode. But I remember out high-school being abuzz with the "outrunning the cops" story for a few days.
