The more saved the better. Sooner or later there will be none around then prices to through the roof and people stop liking them for what they are.

How can you possibly tell that from a few bad pictures? They could have completely rotten chassis', cracked bulkheads, been stolen recovered, or any number of things that puts them beyond economical repair.

The breaking of cars such at these is what keeps all the others on the road. If every one that currently exists is saved, then there'd be no spare parts for those that need it. It's natural selection; the universe at work.

Bit like old people dying and freeing up houses, jobs and taxes for younger people....
