[TUFCAT]

I've never seen such damage.  

Please be extra safe out there, and God Bless us while driving our cars.

OUCH.

[Aero426]

Just a reminder that speed kills. 

[tan top]

aww  man thats sad  , some dudes pride & joy  , don't look like he made it  

what the hells wrong with that salvage company  are they that greedy to try & sell some thing so wrecked as that knowing some one has very well died it it !!  is  that blood ?  have some morals , i'm all for salvaging parts & stuff  , but  .......   shred the damn thing all ready  

[Indygenerallee]

Yeah that column is red but that maroon ain't paint!!! It's not suprising I crawled into a mid 90's Ram back in 99 that had had taken a hard front impact, I was trying to get the center console out when I noticed what looked like brain matter, I asked the guys about it and they stated "yeah 4 teens were out joy riding in it and 2 were killed" I about puked.

[John_Kunkel]

That's (what's left of) a B-body, not a Fury.

[TUFCAT]

You guys are right. Cut it in half and "salvage" the rear clip only.... theres not much value sitting there anyway.

[rarefish]

Yeah,  That's a Belvedere I

Looks like chunks of concrete block on the engine. Might have hit a building.

Where's the carb?
First in a wreck then a building collapse?

[nvrbdn]

you know it happens, but hate to see it.

    Don't feel sorry for driver,,would feel sorry for anyone he hurt and any kids or family he  left behind...
 
   driver  built or got a car with lots of mods,,but not for safty...  desided to drive beyond his ablity and cars or road conditions and paided a heavy price..  no disc brakes or cage and safty harness. looks like high speed and a block wall or pine trees and block building.  without more info it looks like 1 car,speed and solid object,,big mess.


 

But why should it all be scrapped, not the cars fault and lots of useable parts and lots of mess too.. ive got lots of parts from wrecking yards and seen lots of blood and even teeth in steering wheels .messy and sad but it is all part of life and cars and speeding.

You have no idea what happened here, or do you? For all we know someone hit him and he then lost control or maybe he had a heart attack driving down a highway. Anyway, its sad when anyone is hurt or loses a life even if they were stupid. We all have been stupid. No?

Yes. Some one should chop saw the front half off and scrap it, and part the rest. Ave some respect, but save what can be.

[TK73]

Probably info over on Moparts... anybody still registered over there?

[C5X DAYTONA]

Amazing but last I heard the guy is alive.   Was a gorgeous car not too long ago.    Story is that it's was stolen from Bob Mosher.

Well said,
I've wrecked a car at pretty good speed due to a stuck throttle flat out. Yes turning the key off is easy to say but in a panic situation where you have seconds it's not always the first thing you think of.

A buddy and myself saw a F-150 in a wrecking yard that must have hit a concrete pillar or something at high speed. The engine and transmission were standing straight up and there was gray splatter on the headliner, not pretty.......

hmmmmmmmmmm mabey it sold. it was there yesterday.

Looked like it "WAS" a nice car!!

I never can get over people who focus only on HP and fail to look at the brake and suspension running stock 4 wheel drums? Really? I understand way back when this is what they had but with today's upgrades why neglect this??? Im not saying this caused the wreck (IDK what did) but I just always shake my head when I see 4 wheel drums on a built car, my Dart has 4 wheel drums and I could never imagine having a built 426 and trying to stop quick!!! My buddy had a 67 Dart with 4 wheel drums and it had a built 440 that was a strict track car only (narrowed Dana and slicks) and that thing would swere like no end at the track when the brakes were applied!!! made my eyes bug out of my head and I was not driving!!

Looks like it cleared a forest with the amount of shrubbery in and on the car!!

That's what car makers did in the 60's...

[GOTWING]

There was a older fellow here in northern Delaware a few months ago slid his 70 Cuda into a pole and cut the car clean in half, the engine seperated and was lying in the field. It was a blue Cuda with Viper wheels and a full cage, di not help, he died. I think he was 62 years old, shame.

[Indygenerallee]

Gotwing, I think I remember seeing those pics of the Cuda, that one was a mess!

[TUFCAT]

 Agreed. Front disc brakes should've been a mandatory upgrade on a performance build like this. But without details who knows if it was a factor.

The factory drum brake system will stop as good as discs - for the first couple of hard stops until they get hot.   Then watch out!

[440]

Hell, just trying to stop in a straight line is hard enough regardless.

[Wheels of Terror]

I shouldn't have read this post before bed.  What a sad situation all around. That poor Belvedere!! Thank God the driver survived! May he have a quick and healthy recovery!

first thing I did............upgrade the brakes.

[bull]

That doesn't look like a wreck to me. Looks like something fell on it.

[Cooter]

I wouldn't think if something fell on it that the rear wheel would be bent, but that's just me.

[TUFCAT]

No factual information has been posted at this point so we can't determine if the driver survived or the circumstances of the accident. 

If you have any source of credible information, please post. 

[BananaDan]

Wow, what a terrible situation.  It looks like the car was dropped from a 747.  I hope the driver survived. 

[bull]

Well, the majority of the damage is in the front, right? No matter what it hit, or what hit it, rear rims aren't commonly bent during a front-end collision. It either slid across something on that side or something slid across it and the rim got hooked.

[TUFCAT]

The blood on the steering collumn indicates something bad happened.

[adauto]

Unfortunatley I see this stuff all the time, I could tell some really graphic stories. Be carefull out there guys!

[bull]

This is true. The speculation is all moot until we get some facts (which don't seem to be readily availiable). What's odd is all the greenery and what looks like concrete particles all over the car. It almost looks like he rear-ended a truck hauling shrubs and cinder blocks that fell off and landed on it.

[Rolling_Thunder]

or plowed through some shrubs and then into a block wall

I had one of these Bob Mosher built cars. It was a 64 savoy 2 door sedan with a 650 HP 472 ci crossram hemi and 4 speed. The car was very fast but had the factory 10 inch drum brakes that it came with as a 6 cylinder car. On the freeway I hammered it and was above 100 mph in no time. As I was approching slower moving traffic I had to slam on the brakes and nearly rearended someone. Right away I converted it to disc brakes and it made a world of difference. It was really a death trap the way it was set up. I ended up selling it at Barrett-Jackson a few years ago.

My thoughts as well. Might have went off the road (possibly over a curb hence the damage to the rear wheels), & into a building or structure of some sort due to the debris. Hitting a stationary object such as a building seems plausable, the amount of damage is just massive.

Definitely gives second thoughts on driving habits on the streets. One can only hope the driver survived.

[Stretch]

Wow! What a shame!

I really could have done without seeing the bloody steering column though!

It's pretty hard to imagine that anyone could have survived that!

This is an insurance claim, they never devulge to the auction house (Copart, IAA,Ect) the accident report.

[oldcarnut]

Reminds me of this one.  Don't look too hard cause there's pieces in there  .   Disc brakes didn't help this one.  This was posted around other sites before but like the other,  only guesses why it happened.

[nvrbdn]

looks like blood on the back of the truck. that bumper is so low on there that it had to rake right through the middle of that car.

[TUFCAT]

arm? 

[440]

Yuck     Feel sorry for the guy and his family.

[Fred]

Gruesome.
