As much rust powder that exploded off the 59 . It was probably a good thing to put the ole girl down.

that rust sure didn't help in the strenght department either :wink:

i'm somewhat more upset at the cash for clunkers and what cars have been scrapped due to that :evil:

1997 aston db7 ???
bmw 850i , m3's , m5's x5, z3
corvettes + convertible's
jaguar s types supercharged / XK8 convertible ??
maserati , porsche ?
Lots of nice mercedes that are listed under mazda (??) c36 / amg / 560 secs / 600's
Roush fords, rolls royce ?? TVR
volvo XC90 from 2006 ?

:pat: :pat: :pat:

Wonder what a "Firebird Trans Am Formula" is ;)
Of course one doesn't know what state the cars traded in were, but I would imagine a lot of the cars were worth lots more than the 9grand or whatever the trade-in value was ....

The video of the 59's demise is incredible.
