I personally don't care to see cool old cars trashed in moveis, but the only way to really stop the carnage is for the prices of the classics to become unappealing to producers.
Think about it, movies are made on budgets. As a producer, are you going to trash a $20k Charger or a $250k exotic? Antagonists and protagonists need to have cool wheels. It may not be in the budget, nor the story line, to have them driving Ferraris and Porsches so they do the next best thing, pick up restored to semi-restored muscle era cars. To them they are a disposable commodity.
