1971 Dodge Dart Rancho Cordova, CA. Pick-N-Pull (Not Mine)

People scrapping their mid-eighties junkers didn't take their several hundred bucks and buy up all the classic Mopars either.

also, to keep in mind the CFC program only gave you the tax credit toward the lease on a new car (and some used cars).

so it's not like you junked your 91 Dakota and got 2K to go buy an A body.

the program was a double incentive-- removing some cars that characteristically were known to possibly be polluters as well as removing cars that got poor gas mileage AND encouraging spending by basically giving participants a "down payment" on the lease of a new car that got better mileage and ran cleaner.
