Please tell me this was a clone :faint:

Bakaruda 12-09-2009 06:01 PM

I may not be a GM guy, but that sucks.

IndyNova 12-09-2009 06:05 PM

:wow:

I guess the good thing was that he walked away

awr68 12-09-2009 06:08 PM

Just chacked out the pic on the other site...he is very lucky to be alive!
What a shame that was!! Looks like it was a nice car....and he JUST bought it!!

Aww nothing a Dynacorn body and VIN swap won't take care of. :_paranoid
That sucks.

CRCRFT78 12-09-2009 06:20 PM

With all the parts available for 69 Camaros do you think this can be fixed? Also if the insurance pays it off would you let them take it and destroy whats left of it? I think I would want to keep it if I had a warehouse or shop to house it in. Display it instead of just letting the insurance company crush it.

Sucks!
 
What a shame , but sheet metal can be fixed or replaced lives can't.

what makes you think insurance companies crush cars?FYI they are sold at salvage autions to salvage yards and dealers who rebuild salvage cars

What a terrible mishap. Good to hear the driver is safe.
Makes you think twice to those looking at receivers and balls that are bargained priced. Not saying thats the cause, just an awareness. Ive always overkilled my load/pulling rates for extra measures and use a lock at the latch in lieu of a thin pullout pin

Stuart Adams 12-09-2009 07:09 PM

Wow. Lucky no one was killed. Glad for that. You only die once.

Ok. I AM glad the driver is ok. And I hope he had enough sense to get some kind of coverage on it prior to the trip home since he JUST bought it.

That sucks.

But the good news is that there are PLENTY of '69 Camaros out there to replace it with. Looks like a perfect candidate for a Dynacorn shell.

pokey64 12-09-2009 08:53 PM

:eek: This makes me ill.

We just got 12" of snow last night to deal with. If my plans workout to buy a camaro this weekend I'm totally paying to have it transported.

I'm fully aware of the insurance salvage auctions. For some reason I was picturing it ending up in a Pick-A-Part yard where I have seen cars get crushed. Anyways, would you allow this to be salvaged or would you buy it back and attempt to fix it? The market for Camaro sheetmetal is a huge one and you can buy a body now along with whatever else you would need to repair sheetmetal damage. What would repairing it with replacement sheetmetal do to the value of it?

Mr. Black and White,

Sounds like you and Todd (Vegas) went to the same school--I think we need to go back for some sensitivity training. :lol:

:rofl: I do think Todd and I think EXACTLY alike! My mother always called it "in the brain.. out the mouth". Pretty true really.

dropit69 12-10-2009 07:47 PM

rocketman 12-10-2009 08:34 PM

Wow that sucks. I had that happen with my old pro mod(a accident, it didnt roll thou) and tore up the car and pulled the 5th wheel pin out of the 5th wheel.

i feel for him
