I'll call out Junkyard Digs because he's had at least three at this point. One while still drivable he took out for fun until the transmission fried and he threw a rod, which to me and a few other videos makes me think the current generation still see Eagles as somewhat disposable in comparison to Boomers and K-cars where if Red-Green didn't hack them all up, the rest met their demise in demo derby's.
Adding to that there's just not a lot of them left. I have not seen one in a junkyard for six years (with almost all my spare parts coming from backyard graves) and the Pacific Northwest gifting to us it's lack of winter salt means there should technically be more left here than anywhere else on the planet.
