(The restoration would cost more than the restored car would be worth.
All you had to do with CfC was get the car to the lot under its own power.

(1. If someone could sell those for more money, why didn't they?
2. If one of those showed up at a dealer as a "clunker", there isn't likely a car dealer on earth who would have gone through the headache of filing the paperwork on a C4C program when he could have simply given the person the whosesale value on the vehicle towards a new car, and sold the thing at a healthy profit.
3. Keep in mind, the only operational requirements were that the vehicle ran, was continuously insured for a year. That leaves alot of room for junk.
I greatly doubt that GNX was anywhere near a shiny, showroom condition, highly desirable or easily refurbished vehicle we may inagine it to be.

Exactly!
Again, I would give take some of those "junked" models with a grain of salt.

im not sayin that they would worth a crap some of them but the parts on them are worth a pretty penny to owners of the typhoons and GNX's , they wouldnt let them strip them of anything good they had to just crush the whole thing

This isn't true. The engine has to be seized, but other salvageable parts can be removed. The whole of the vehicle does have to be crushed within six months of the filing, but they can be stripped first.
