Crushing old classic cars for smog credits

Back in 1993 California had a pollution problem. California blamed the old cars, so they started a program to crush old hot rods if they were older than 1982 they would be bought and crushed. oil companies and other companies would sell these cars for an estimated $800. These companies would get smog credits for ever car they crush. witch means they could pollute more. they think they were going something good but it was worse for the environment. They knocked 80% of the "hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide emissions" from taking the cars off the road but the companies were creating more than what they trying to fix. 

 

 There were many cars saved from this mess but the most famous one would a 67 Camaro that the hot rod magazine. It's made the cover three times and its been changed up so many times, as of right now its it powered by a blown LS7. This car is pushing almost 725 horsepower.
