'71 (possible R/T) totaled!!!

[69bronzeT5]

I was just watching the Seattle News. They showed footage of a '71 Charger on its roof on the highway. It was Hemi Orange with a black vinyl top and it had black R/T stripes!!!!  Driver went to the hospital with minor injuries. They said alcohol was involved.

noooooooo!


how bad did it look?!

[69bronzeT5]

Looked ok. The trunklid, tailights etc seemed fine. The drivers door was open. The hood was open. There was steam..I dont think it was smoke. But there was roof damage for sure.

So why is it totaled?

Well, I assume they will total it. Especially since the a-pillars were most likely bent. It wasnt just sitting on its roof, chances are it got rolled over and got alot of damage from the rollover.

If its a real R/T im sure the guy is probably going to fix it...i would regardless.

shame...

you didn't happen to take any pics of it did you?

Nope, my one digital got stolen and my other has no battery charger and its dead. It was a quick 30 second thing. Maybe another one of the Washington members will chime in.

I know for 3-4000 the A pillar columns can get chopped (once propped up and supported so the car doesnt bend in half)

New roof, all welded back, like new.

I am amazed at how many people drink and then climb behind the wheel of a car they have spent countless $ and time on
