good thing no one was riding shotgun

Looks like the Bandit is walking till the Snowman shows up.  What a pity   Glad no one was injured except someones' pride and joy.  Hope I never have to sit in his drivers' seat.  Rust in peace T/A

[chargerman69]

My T/A better not end up like that someday

[projectanimal]

This is horrible and shocking that no one was hurt!  Has to be all of our worst nightmares once we complete our restorations... Or during! 
Always liked the T/As and hope to add one to the collection some day... The wheels look they are okay?!?

Wow my best friend who passed away 4 years ago had that exact car and lived in that town.  His is still original paint and low miles and I know the car is stored here local at his step fathers . . . . Thinking of selling also if anyone is interested.  Yep front tires still look OK!   



The report states it is an 83?

[Ghoste]

By 83 they were that pointy aero style.  That is just heartbreaking for a car guy.

I feel for the owner, that was one gorgeous car.  He's only few hours from me apparently.

THIS sucks. Hope he had Hagerty/Grundy insurance. I don't "Daily" drive mine for this very reason. Too many Idiots on the road that clearly cannot drive. If report is correct, driver was trying like hell to avoid this and ended up getting it worse. At least owner can give it a decent burial now.

RIP "Ban-One".

That is sad, I bet the other driver that turned in front of him never stopped. 

[DrHemi]

Just a scratch. Someone will get it and take the VIN off.

No kidding!  I stop by there once or twice a year to feed a giraffe or two.  

[Sublime/Sixpack]

Holy crap! Too bad about the T/A, they're nice cars. Glad the driver made it out okay.

[Fitz73Chrgr]

What a shame.  Beautiful car.
