All the cars had interior shots and open doors on the auction website, so probably breaking windows is not necessary. Starting them, however, may be a problem.

At least eight—the eight without keys—are almost certain to go to salvage yards. But who would leave their keys in the car, except to abandon it?

I suppose at least some of us remember the 1976-78 Mustang II Cobra II, or the 1976-80 Plymouth Volare Road Runner/Dodge Aspen R/t. or the 1975-77 AMC Hornet AMX?

I hate to think it, but I suspect anything with a manual transmission.  Like the Model T, in fifty years, nobody who knows how to drive one will be around.

Actually, I think you have it. A collector car that doesn’t run won’t be very collectible, and in about ten years, the myriad plastic parts that make up one of these things (all of which are crucial to the car running properly) won’t be reproduced or available new (and maybe 15 years later they won’t be available used…

Congratulations, Bubba Wallace!  Let me be the first!  

This was a close one, but with the reputation of a Jaguar (plus 30 years), and assuming what the author said about the orange tag on the license plate is accurate, I have to go ND.

As long as the dog is all right.

I wonder if the fact that the Maverick will sell for $5,000 less than the F-150 will be its doom. With that price difference, the profits from the Maverick must be proportionately less as well. If Ford’s marketers decide that too many people who would otherwise buy an F-150 are buying Mavericks, the Maverick will…

Actually, I hope the kid’s parents (and presumably owners of the truck) are well off--and that they won’t be once the victims sue for everything from injuries and lost work time to damage to the bicycles.

On the contrary.  I understand that there are plenty of prisons that offer college-level courses.

Why does this remind me of Ethan Couch, the “affluenza” teenager from eight years ago? Perhaps because he was also a teenager, perhaps because he was also driving a Ford F-series, perhaps because he was also in Texas, perhaps because it was probable that the latter incident was also perpetrated by a privileged white…

I won’t pass judgement on the price; I would only be concerned about trying to obtain parts for a 35-year-old car outside its home country. Thank you anyway, and I’m glad that someone out there imported unique cars like this into the United States, but ND for me.

I can think of one advantage to that paintwork: If you knock over a liquor store sometime, and witnesses across the street say they saw a red Mustang leave fast, the police waiting on your side of the street won’t pursue you because they see a blue Mustang going by.

In subjective terms—style, “character” and perhaps (original) cost of ownership, in some cases—arguably yes. In almost all objective terms—one of the few exceptions being ease of servicing—no.

As he should have been.  Moore chose to attempt to elude the police while driving under the influence with others--children, no less--in the car.  The police did what they could to stop the pursuit.

There’s no way they will release the chase video to the general public or on YouTube, since there was someone killed. Especially a child.

I bet these men (if they can be called that) have really small ... 

I think it was one of the Michael Moore movies (“Bowling for Columbine?”) where they show a used car dealer offering a free rifle or shotgun to anyone purchasing a vehicle.

For one particular episode in the 1980s—where they happened to have one of the best European sedans just as the European sedan craze was starting, only to have it driven by people who didn’t know how to make their feet operate properly (thus making the car, on shifting from P to D, jump through brick walls and onto…
