This could be the end of plentiful and inexpensive 460 (and other) cores:
Representatives of the automotive aftermarket industry vow to fight federal funding of old vehicle scrappage ("car crusher") programs included in the U.S. Department of Transportation's "Safe and Flexible Transportation Efficiency Act of 2003" (SAFETEA) which was released yesterday. Title I, Section 1601 of the SAFETEA would reverse a long-standing prohibition on
federal funding of state-run vehicle scrappage plans through the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ), administered by the Federal Highway Administration. In this case, U.S. taxpayer dollars would be used to purchase and crush cars made in 1979 and before.
This means states would be able to buy and crush anything made before 1979 with OUR money. They'll tie it as a requirement to highway tax trust money allocation, just like the smog laws. The federal government is a growth industry. Contact your elected reps and scream.
