From Quebec.

What's the story here?

[Lighthorseman]

Yipes!

Hope it got fixed.

   looks to me , like it could of been a trasnporter accedent  or fallen off a  lift    

[hatersaurusrex]

Looks driveable to me!

I tend to agree with Tan Top as there is no rash on the side to suggest that it rolled.

Man those wings are strong.

[Ghoste]

Thats a recent pic?  Don't leave us hanging.

[Indygenerallee]

Looks like it rolled down a hill!!!!

[Hemi Runner]

pic is titled rollover.jpg so I'm guessing it was a rollover? That won't buff out and it can't be fixed. However, I would be willing to remove it from said premises and use it as yard art at my house. All at no cost to you whatsoever

absolutely fixable

It is an old pic.From what I gather the only thing that is still alive is the wing...

[Fred]

Which is why I'm thinking it can't have been a roll over.

[Indygenerallee]

I have seen stranger things happen! That looks like a rollover for sure.

[440]

If that is the case, where's the dirt or road rash then?

[Indygenerallee]

I have seen plenty of rollovers that looked like that, I bought a rolled 2004 Dodge Ram and it looked like that roof caved and bunch of dents, (no grass or big scratches)

[Fred]

I'm thinking there's no way that wing would have come away unscathed in a rollover. Just sayin" 

[Montreal Wing Car]

That's an old pic from my files!
From what I understood from the guy who gave me the original, the car went into a ditch in Abitibi, Quebec, in the 80's or 90's and was later repaired.
I see that person from time to time, I'll get more info later...

Dave@ECS just confirmed that the car was delivered like this in 1970.  Apparently, NASCAR mandated that some 'birds be sold in "post-crash" condition to be considered eligible for competition, and he has four DM's willing to swear to it on video. 



A few years ago my uncle bought a '76 911 to turn into a race car.  A college aged kid had it, and lost control going down a hill in the rain.  The car went up a grassy embankment, crushed all of the panels on the driver's side, and dented the roof.  Very few scratches or marks were on it when we went and bought it. 

Does this car still exist?  When was the picture taken?

No no your all wrong...it was my wife trying to get it in a sub compact parking space....you should have seen the honda   :smilingly:
