Looks like a t-bone in the drivers door. The roof removal looks to be the job of a "jaws of life" tool. I have personally done this many times thru the years to remove patients from the car. Just never to a old charger much less a General.

That's a sad, sad sight!  I hate to hear about these things... for the kid sake and the cars sake.  One question.... How the crap did those cheesy fuzzy dice stay intact?!

Even if Grandson survived, once he's out of the hospital, Grandpa will probably kill him. :2guns:

He survived.. A quote in the EBay ad was "This has been a super fun car and brought me and my Grandson many happy hours during building it and many many more driving it in parades and car shows.Unfortuneatly My Grandson wrecked it . We have decided to sell it and finish another project that we have going."

Talk about a great ad for a business... Buy it, plant it on your roof.. And tell people "yeah, I'm the shop with the wrecked General Lee on my roof".

Or, BK could buy it whip it back into shape in a day or two.  :cheers:

Outlaw low performance driver's, NOT high performance cars..WTF was the grandson doing driving it in the first place?

  According to "ask seller a question" on ebay:
He slid sideways into a Texas pine tree.He thinks the new tires broke loose from the bead on the wheel .When that happened he was in a curve and lost control.Anyhow he learned that it don't work out like it does in the movies. He's okay now and back to work. He got a broken leg out of the deal

One lucky guy.

theres probaly close to that in parts if your building one its says it has a Dana, 4 speed, 383 with 300 miles, good grille,taillights and all the misc. parts if you were building a shell would add up to quite a bit, but yeah looking at the car it seems like it would be high. :shruggy: :Twocents:
