I have seen the (Majestyk video) Dodge sedan (not the 4 dr hardtop Plymouth) that cut a telephone pole in half, and was repaired. New car, no way, no matter what it is worth.
I am NOT saying the old cars are safer. The old cars DID have to live their lives on dirt roads, gravel roads, and other road issues that would demolish a new car in short order. I have gone airborne in a 63 Valiant CONVERTIBLE (dropped 6 feet on pavement at 55 MPH) and not even knocked the front end out of alignment.

Mech
