Man, that sucks! Not that it matters, but I wonder if that was on his/her way home from the Mopar show? Yes, apparently it was after the show. There were pics of it at the show.

Thank you, Both occupants are recovering which is good news. Serious injuries but alive ![up up](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/thumbs_up.gif) ππ Yeah, that's the main thing. It's a damn shame about the car, the guy probably spent a lifetime (or a lifetime's savings) getting the car to that point, but in the end, it's only a car. The trauma and health after-effects they will have to live with after all this is over with is what I'd be concerned about, assuming that they are recovering reasonably. Nasty hit! A side thought, is that stuff like this always tugs at the back of my mind whenever I drive something old without seat belts, head restraints, collapsing steering column, and other safety features that came to be over the last fifty years. But, still, I guess it's safer than riding a motorcycle...

Imho there too many folks who are afraid to drive their vintage vehicles. Oh it might get scratches, oh it might stall, oh blah blah blah
I drive my stuff as long as there's no salt on the road. Sure, no airbags but drive accordingly. That includes not driving in California or jersey.

What do you even do with that? I realize the engine may still be good, but there are easier ways to get a 440 Some one will buy it for the Vin #. ![tsk tsk](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/tsk.gif)
