Sometimes there's a reason why. Ask the inventor, say, of the concrete life preserver.

I owned a Honda 600 years ago in Colorado and I must say it was fun, scary, noisy and ridiculous. Having had motorcycle experience, working on it wasn't too alien to me.
Here are two of my reamers.

But, I did get a shot of it a month ago after helping a group move their business...

Probably like what happened on the Arabian Peninsula back in the day - when it breaks, just abandon it and get a new one, there's plenty of no-questions-asked money floating around, and it's easier to throw things away when you didn't work for them.
The cars have become a headache for the local authorities, who struggle to decide what to do with them. While some have been cleared for auctions, others continue to arrive and be stacked up in the graveyard of cars."

The front bumper is amazingly perfect in nearly all respects, including the chrome. The only issue with it is a "pull" on the bottom of it just to the left (driver side) of the frame mounting point. I was driving through some tall grass about fifteen years ago when the front left tire fell into a massive (invisible) hole that had formed around a utility pipe. The pipe was sticking up from the ground about four inches, so when I backed the truck out of the hole, the bumper caught the pipe a little and stretched (bent) the metal. You can sort of see it in the photo, when zoomed in, but it is heavily shadowed (I have a bit of a cheat since I know what I'm seeing).
There is a little rust in a few of the usual spots (such as bottom of the driver door), but fixable stuff. Sitting in a yard, which became a forest, for 25 years didn't do it a lot of favors in that regard. Still, at 29,000 miles in 1997, it was a pretty good looking truck after a couple days of work and a lot of elbow grease.
You remind me of the guy who is examining a newly repainted car that his buddy just got back from the shop and is showing off. Guys like that will slowly walk around the car and lo and behold they will spot the one microscopic flaw in the paint job and MAKE SURE the proud owner is aware of it! From that time forward the owner will see it every time he walks up to his car!
It's amazing to me what passes as "good" body shop work by an average citizen. Crappy is apparently accepted as industry standard IMHO.
I just received our Forester back from the shop a few days ago after a nearly month-long repair stint. They only issue with it is the passenger front window. They were told to use an aftermarket piece by the insurance company, which saved $30 from factory glass, and it was not cut properly. As a result, they could not get it to fit the space properly. So, they have a factory glass on order to replace the aftermarket, it is going to cost about $300 more than it would have, and I have wind noise in the meantime.

350SLC, 1973, Euro car with original lights and gauges. And something even more unsual:
Velour interior, which is really rare even on Euro cars. Also note manual windows.
I don't need it, but I kind of like this.
Typical light rust in the rocker/wheelarch area, and it appears the rear compensator has failed, a common issue.
But looks good inside, with what appears to be leather, nice dash pad, AC, heated rear window (not sure if this was standard or optional), original radio:
The telltale sign is the unique spoiler, and 5.0 badging (I think some were also badged 500SLC late in the run). These had some aluminum body panels, too:
But a 350 is probably easier to find, and as it will lack emissions issues compared to a US spec car, easier to live with.
As Shifty knows, SLCs have high running costs and are a heavy cruiser, which holds values down.

Even so, they aren't worth all that much for all their rarity. One of those with a 5-speed Tremec would be nice indeed, as the ultimate GT car/gentleman's express. Well we could beef up the handling, too.
Hopefully that is just a leftover remnant of a fad and not a symptom that the velour in front is shredded. Interesting car.

A fun thing to do with an SLC would be to make a period rally car tribute:
