Actually, they are being scrapped and parted out (minus the engines of course, since those had to be destroyed as part of the program). > **[Bush Stadium News, Videos, Reviews and Gossip - Jalopnik](https://jalopnik.com/tag/bush-stadium)** > > The Baseball Stadium Turned Clunker Graveyard The stadium is being rented out to junk yards as a place to store the extra cars. ---

They were sold to junkyards, parted out, and I believe they had to be crushed by a certain date. I bought my Jeep cheap because someone wrecked the side against a guardrail, and fixed it using an identical clunker as a donor for color-matched panels. I probably have parts from about 20 more clunkers on that thing. ---

Word on the street is that the program was originally conceptualized by the Chinese embassy and proposed to the US as they were at one point not taking dollars to pay back our debt when the currency was sinking. They valued the steel as a commodity and thus took that in trade. However this is hearsay. And doesn’t make much sense if they are buying our T bills. ---
