It literally couldn’t have. All of the A-bodies were exempt from “cash for clunkers”. Some of the post ‘80 FMJ’s weren’t, but that’s it.
It’s just a matter of value. I never saw any E-bodies in the yards, but I wasn’t looking in the 90’s before they got crazy expensive. But even when I started looking there were A’s out in the yards, and of course FMJ’s. There’s a Dippy in the Rocklin yard right now. But the A’s dried up when the values took off, they’re worth more as projects and parts than you get scrapping them. When a running, driving A can get the same 11k I paid for my running, driving ‘72 Challenger they don’t go to the yard anymore, just like the E’s weren’t when I bought my Challenger. Maybe a random car here and there from an estate where the surviving family isn’t car savvy, but that’s it.
Somebody lost a ton of money sending that ‘71 Dart to the yard.
