Piston Slap: New Life for Old Tooling… Or Not?
TTAC commentator Halftruth asks:
Hey Sajeev,
This question came across my mind recently whilst reading all of the sedan death watch articles on TTAC. What happens to all the tooling and hardware when a model is discontinued/killed off? Can any of this stuff be recycled/redeployed?
Consider the Chryco 200, discontinued after 2 years. Will FCA mothball that stuff or throw it out or… something else?
Missouri Law Lets Thieves Scrap Your Classics
Kansas City’s KCTV reported this week on an attempt to repair a 2012 Missouri state law that has led to a dramatic increase in car thefts. The law, which allows people to sell vehicles 10 years or older without a title, was originally intended to help rural property owners dispose of derelict vehicles and outdated machinery that would otherwise be left to rot. Criminals, however, soon discovered that they could scoop up virtually any vehicle that met the standard and sell it to scrap yards for a tidy profit.
