Looks like 61 Fiero's were turned in for the C4C program.
Also check out the list of other vehicles. If you don't think a dealership may have scammed some cars, think again. How does a 2006 Corolla or a 2008 Hyundai Accent even qualify?? A 2006 Cadillac STS even if you assume it was totalled is worth more in parts than $4500 and the vehicles had to be running/driving vehicles.

The GNX on the list was confirmed by the folks on the GNX forum as being a trashed car. They actually had a group get the car so it would run/drive so the owner could trade it in.

quote Cash for Clunkers claimed some really interesting vehicles - Was a Buick GNX among them? Mixed reaction has surrounded the government's Cash for Clunkers program, but after spending around $2.8 billion, some 700,000 new vehicles have found homes. But what got traded in? We've heard some horror stories, but now that the full list of executed vehicles has been released on the Cars.gov website and we've listed some of the oddities we found while snooping around. Many are down right hard to believe, suggesting either errors in the submission process, typos in the list or even some fudging by dealers who clunked a few vehicles that weren't eligible. After the jump is a list of "Clunkers" that stood out. We can't guarantee these all really went to the crusher, but they do appear on the list. Follow the jump for a recap of the program's eligibility requirements for trade-in vehicles and our full list. And we'd suggest having a box of tissues nearby. [Source: Cars.gov] We've outlined the rules of the government's Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act of 2009 (CARS) program before, but we think a refresher is warranted before you browse the list below. Customers were able to bring in an old "clunker" no older than model year 1984 that got, at most, 18 mpg if they were buying a new vehicle with better mpg. That trade-in had to be in running condition and insured for at least one year prior to the trade. A rebate of $3,500-$4,500 for the trade was applied towards a new car purchase based on the difference in mpg between the old and the new vehicle. Dealers did most of the work, verifying the eligibility of the traded vehicle and seeing to it that the old cars were properly disposed of. That included disabling the engine and guaranteeing the cars were shredded before the government refunded the money. NOTE: We find it hard to believe that many vehicles in the list below were actually destroyed through the Cash for Clunkers program, and while they may be officially on the list, their inclusion is more likely explained by an error in the submission process, typos or dealerships that managed to game the system.

Ooops, Sorry I didn't see the other thread.

I looked over the list and noticed something. After the first week of the C4C many reports were that the Ford Explorer and the Jeep Grand Cherokee models were the highest traded in vehicles and yet on the "official list" only 14 Explorers and no Jeep's are on it ??????????? I don't even see a Ford Winstar or a Dodge Caravan on the list as well.

Remember this:

Can you say BLASPHEMY!! >>> (569) Firebird/Trans Am/Formula <<< Not only do I have sit here and get thinking about the Fiero's NOW I have to get pissed because they crushed almost 600 F/T/F's.. I am hating the direction in which this country is going more and more every day, anybody have time machine so I can transport back to the 60's?, of course I would take a couple of Fiero's with me just to make people wonder

Yeah... I find it hard to believe that any car on that individual list was actually traded in.

Probably a good deal of 'working' of the paperwork.

Sorry, gotta do it: Repost.

It was even here on the first page.

I'm surprised the GNX wasn't worth more in parts to the GNX crowd than it was for C4C. Old trashed muscle cars bring in big bucks for rusting shells that can be rebuilt just because they have a valid VIN.

That's true but all very contingent on being in the right place at the right time with the right people involved. For a particular owner, part value may not be a consideration and there are lots of situations and reasons why someone might not be able to deal with a non running car (city ordinances, home owners association, apartment rules, health, interest, time), they may just want the car gone and out of their life. Could just be a person who didn't know what they had, to them the car was just cheap disposable transportation.

The article in the other thread mentioned something like 64,xxx explorers had been traded in. I am guessing this isn't a complete list either. The 14 explorers on it are shown as USPS (United States Postal Service).
