Yes, apparently it was after the show. There were pics of it at the show.

Anyone have them to share?

Even parking lots are not 100% safe. This could have been way worse had people been in the way.

That’s brutal!

Talk about a totally incompetent driver. Swerves and travels a long way to hit those cars... Brakes are optional

They said on FBBO that the passenger in the GTX had a broken neck, no headrests in 68,and the driver had his scalp peeled back badly,no updates as of yet on their current condition.

Thanks Ron_M for the link. It's a wonder they weren't killed.

Couldn't locate the post But 🙏🙏 for both

Damn head restraints (not headrests) were not mandatory until January 01, 1969 but I've seen a lot of '68 and early build '69 GTX's with head restraints. My December 16, 1968 LA built GTX has head restraints.....okay HEAD RESTS for you Kleenex/tissue folks. Damn what a shame on that RR

Couldn't just kit that piece of crap to the left of it, nooooooooooooooo let's go for the classic cars and rods.

Thank you, Both occupants are recovering which is good news. Serious injuries but alive 🙏🙏

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.

I drive my daily Moprs the same way (69&71 RR). But in germany

Looks like it's up for Auction at Copart

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 #.
