I was at a local salvage yard back in the mid eighties and happened across a wrecked car that I had trouble identifying. I got curious and went from one end to the other(a very, very short distance) several times and by the way I don't figure that it hit a train, or a brickwall at 100 mph. But, it was in really bad shape. But, I did end up identifying it by 2 ways, what I could see of the engine, which was demolished, and fairly covered, I spotted part of a rotor, for you guys not familiar with rotary engines, it is triangular shaped and has curved sides and in a strange way does what a piston does,,at any rate it was a mazda ,,then I looked for what few body curves it had left,,it was an RX-7.
That's how bad it was mangled.  At least in the pics posted on the crash tests, you can't only tell what they were, you can tell the year models.

Back in 1986 a guy I was in high school with hit a tractor trailor head on while passing a car at about 75 MPH with a 1973 charger . The front end was completely ripped off along with the right hand cylinder head and part of the block. He lived and only got a few cuts and bruises. He was at school the next day.

Back in the 80's my dad brought me to a junkyard in Watertown Connecticut and there was a '69 Charger there that had the entire nose ripped off when it was hit by a truck. The whole front was gone from the firewall up. The remnants of the nose was laying next to the car and didn't even resemble a Charger nose anymore.

I heard of a '69 Hemi 500 that was totalled in Dodgeville, WI back in the early 80's....he apparently ran a red light and a semi took the front end completely off.  A guy I work with said he came up on the wreck and the hemi was nearly ripped out of the car.

We were talking about if and he did not know what kind of Charger it was at the time. All he said was it looked like all the other '69 Charger's around but, it didn't have flip up headlights.

A wrecked superbird sat behind a local garage for 20 years until about five years ago. The story was that he was drunk and missed his driveway and hit a telephone pole. He did the pretty much the same to a first year viper. He sold his two superbirds and a Daytona about five years ago as well as the viper. He has a 69 b body convertible out back under a tarp now and a 69 charger as well. A 70 R/T Challenger is in his garage now that he is restoring.

Recreate that with an AMD Charger.

Wouldn't it be great to know the VIN of the 500?  Could match the engine on the aero forum.

At :20 there's video of the Charger crashing, and it had resonators.

& torque boxes - is that the same guy that does the "turbo encabulator" bit?

[hemigeno]

it had resonators.

I wonder if Chrysler's Engineers chose their victims/test subjects thinking that the additional mass and slightly stronger ridgidity of the chassis would show more favorable results... or maybe they figured a Hemicar was more likely to encounter something really solid while traveling at a high rate of fuel consumption?

Recreate that with an AMD Charger.

now THAT would be interesting! LOL
