Those MR2s are tiny! Like you can barley sit in them! Lol. Titles can be gotten, it takes time and money but it's possible. Around here once a vehicle has been tagged as "salvage" then it gets very tough and costly to do it but it's still possible!

Yes true, but NC makes it way more difficult than it needs to be. The main reason the ones without titles have to be crushed are because the seller at the junkyard must have a dealer license. A guy here in NC told me if he sells a vehicle without a title in hand then he loses his license. So I would have to assume it's the same way in GA where these vehicles are because he said he couldn't sell anything without a title. I should probably do some research on that though.

Ya that's pretty harsh... not sure why "they" would discourage it except partly for environmental reasons. Alot of older vehicles are in junkyards, "they" want to get and keep those older vehicles off the street (pollution credits and emissions testing did wonders for that) and probably also to bolster new car sales because it's good for the economy.
So many great old rides got destroyed but there is one notorious survivor that's worth some research that I've followed from the start (in the 90's), David Frieburgers (Hot Rod Magazine) Crusher Camaro. Check it out of you love American Muscle with a history!
I did check that Camaro out. That is a cool story!
We went back out to Shooks last weekend. He told us EVERYTHING is for sale. We also got permission to get whatever cars we want running! We have lots of revivals planned in the future and we’re going to make a new YT channel and they’re all going to be posted there. In the meantime, here’s some of what they had:
For as much as I’m not into FWD ricers, this thing is actually really cool. It’s a Geo Storm.
The Gremmie is still here. We’re gonna get it this Fall I think.
We’re interested in buying almost all of these cars I posted, but for me, especially these two… I’d buy these with intentions of keeping them.
