Where'd all the FC's go?

It seems like 3 years ago there were plenty of (close to at least) decent FC's for sale everywhere you looked! Man, it's really hard to find anything out there now! I still hit up craigslist, etc. just about every day for FC's even though I'm about at least a year away from beginning my next FC project. Who's hording these things, lol! As long as you are keeping them garaged and ready for me, Im fine with it!

Absolute garbage for sale on craigslist, and the occasional really, really nice car. Seems there is no middle ground. Hacked cars with ads written in jive using phases like "no lo ballerz"
Used to be able to pick up a nice driver now they are wrecks.

I've noticed that myself. I'm seeing clean FCs now (actually awhile) being parted in systems/parts rather than selling it as a whole...more money to be made this way.

its for this reason I am probably going to just replace my quarters with nice metal. I already know what I have vs someone else s mistakes. I refuse to buy one of these cars from CL at this point due to the "drift scene" around here... its sad to see what kids in my area are doing to this amazing car.

Going to look at an 88 Black vert this evening, with 14,000 original miles.

Tough, since I already have 4 FC's - albeit in various states of repair.

Ah okay, I was just curious since im in okc and must have missed that 54k white one completely :o lol

I saw that red one but it looks a little beat up for the price. I picked up a white one a couple months ago for 3.3 with 126k on it, really clean but it is rusty.
