Perhaps, somebody would see that "thrashing" and realize that it was a restorable car and then go looking for one to restore themselves? It seems that many of the cars they use are "beyond help" by most reasonable considerations. The possible "saving grace" is that with additional attention, others who might not have considered a T&C or similar sedan WOULD realize how neat they are. The more "demand" there is, the more prices might escalate, AND the more cost-effective it can be to restore the particular cars, or similar ones. Hence, more might be restored rather than left to deteriorate. The "increasing value" issue is a double-edged sword.
As B-body cars have tended to level off in the higher-mid level pricing, especially the "muscle car" versions or the "1 of E-bodies), the interest in Mopars in general has increased.
In so many cases, an LA-engine car can be a much better alternative to a tire-smoking RB-engine car. MUCH easier to change spark plugs, for example. With a few additions, they can run very nicely too! Just don't go overboard! A nice 383 4bbl is good too! That "stroker motor" might be trendy for some, but a good OEM rebuild can work just fine with a 360 or 383.
