Clunkerhood

Most collections reward the pristine one. This one does the opposite: age and decay carry 82% of the score. A clean modern EV is the most common thing on the lot. A 1920s jalopy that has stopped being a car is the top of the book.

score = age        × 0.40   jalopy 100 → EV wedge 8
      + condition  × 0.42   garage kept 4 → totaled 100
      + paint · wheels · glass · scene · extras

Scores are not capped at 100. A ceiling would tie the rarest tokens together exactly where rank matters most, so the scale runs past it — 6.5 at the bottom, 108.8 at the top, median 51.3.

Tier cutoffs were calibrated against the real score distribution, not guessed. Every tier lands within a fraction of a percent of its target share.

• 01Seed. The token id hashes into a seeded PRNG. Same id, same car, every time — the collection is reproducible from the source alone.
• 02Silhouette. One of eleven hand-authored body outlines, all sharing a canvas and a single ground line, so the whole fleet sits on one horizon.
• 03Arches. Wheel openings are masked out of the body so the tyres tuck into real arches instead of sitting under a slab.
• 04Rust. A ragged tide-line creeps up from the rockers, blooms at the lower arch corners, and streaks downward — rust follows where water sits, not random spots.
• 05Damage. Dents are crease pairs, not stains. Paint loses chroma before it loses value. Past Barely Legal the rust eats through, the front end crumples and the headlamp goes dark.
• 06Scene. One of nine backdrops, then a grain and vignette pass over the whole frame.

The rust band, the arch blooms and the streaks below them are all procedural — placed from this token's own seed.
