Hmm

But th F-35 flies 

In victory you deserve Champagne

In defeat you need it!

     

Scars are Tattoos with better stories !

If you follow all the rules

You miss all the fun! 

If you have no enemies, you have no character !

I think the issue is not so much sidelined because of parts availability, but because the owners don't have the resources to maintain them properly.  No longer economically feasible...

Don't forget, the scrap rate for cars in the USA is about 9 Mio cars a year.

The stuff from before the war wasn't scrapped recently, but rather in the 40's when no one wanted the stuff.

If it's put together with screws and bolts, it can be rebuilt. 

The F35 has 8 million lines of code.  The Chevy Volt has 10 million...

I'm not really sure how difficult it was for them, but Classic Coach in NJ took a couple weeks sourcing a new Euro bumper, grill, and spoiler for my euro 308. But they found them.....

With all the casual talk about needing CNC machines to keep "X car on the road 15 yrs from now", I'm wondering...

Which car has been actually sidelined due to parts non-availability?

I can't think of one car that has been mothballed away due to inability to keep it running.

I've heard this threat on the List since the late 1990s.

Parts manufacturing and "business continuity" in the classic car world is getting easier if anything.

There are more Pre-1980 cars on the road now than ever.
