Default Re: 1967 Camaro L78 bad wreck

Insurance companies lobbied hard to get the government (yes, with help from environmentally activist politicians) to de-claw the American musclecar. I agree that pollution control was an aspect of the death of the American musclecar but the insurance companies were losing too much money paying-off wrecked and stolen musclecars. Thousands of musclecars wound up just like that Marina Blue '67 SS and the claims were eating into the insurance companies' bottom lines.
