And if you have a registered classic car it's your responsibility to maintain it, no? If not ICBC should step in and fine you right?

You try your best to do it, and ensure the preservation. Many older structures cannot be created today not only because of today's cost, but also the lack of skills involved, such as the refined masonry work, etc. Furthermore, with so few of these structures around, the City should step up in ensuring their preservation.
If my classic car is the last one of its kind, it would be a crime to purposely neglect it to become a rusty heap when I can well afford to have it kept in tip-top condition. What's the point of having it in the first place if I intend to destroy it? Only barbarians destroy.
