Pretty much every one that hadn't been in a serious crash, been left outside, massively abused, etc. What some of you fellas don't seem to realize, is that in a lot of cases, CF is stronger than steel. C&V'ers of the future will be doing restorations just like we do now, but in the case of CF, it will probably more like boat restoration.
