    Crush them all that way mine will be worth more in the end. I believe that the goal in the 70s was to get the gas hogs off the road that is when they had what is refured to as the gas crunch days. Just wait until they pass that stupid law about the 85 MPh speedometers again like an actual speedometer will stop a car from accelerating
    Joan Claybrook of the NHTSA would be the one to thank for the federally-mandated 85mph (max) speedo. Part of the bill that lowered the speed limit to 55 also called for carmakers to change their speedos over to a maximum reading of 85 (with 55 highlighted) whenever they came out with a new car this was done in Jan 1977

    well its half the united states fault, they all stated they wanted a change. I was actually pretty damn happy with the way things were. I guess thats what we get for having such a young dumb nation. We should just chase his ass outa office!

    That's a nice idea. A shortage of replacement parts is what you'll get, should yours break. Besides, isn't yours modded enough to actually hurt the value?
    '03 Cobra - Mildly modded. A work in progress. 12.566 @ 110.755, 1.89 60' on street tires
    '93 Notch - Looks faster than it is.
    '72 F100 4x4 - Dormant, for now.
    Race '99 L - 12.40 @ 110
