I think the reason the old iron is more likely to be in a collision is because of the attention it draws. How many 69 GTX's do you see daily compared to how many Prius or Camry, etc. Just like a gorgeous girl walking down the street, it draws attention. In the 15 years that I drove my 70 Dart daily in the summer months, it was in 1 minor collision, an old lady cut across my lane to make a left turn and I just barely bumped the side of her car. She didn't even know that she had been in a collision. That's my theory and I'm stickin' to it.
