The Mustang beside it didn't fair to well either! I wonder if both cars were from the same collision <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif

That'll buff out!!!

If the Chevy II driver was wearing a seat belt, he probably survived because the passenger compartment doesn't look too badly damaged.

I guy I worked with had worked at Willow Run. His job was to take the cars from the roll test to the storage lot. He got an L79 off the rolls and so did his buddy. They were racing them out to the lot and t-boned each other. Oops, 2 cars down and looking for new jobs.
Imagine the dealer having to tell the customer - well, you car is going to be another week more....

It is hard to tell for sure,but it looks like the Nova might already not have an engine. Even nback in the day when these cars were common,that engine would have been well known as a piece to have,especially in late 66 or 67 after Grump started mopping up in A/S with it. A 12 bolt or Muncie would be more &quot;dime a dozen&quot;,but I bet and L-79 would have been quickly spotted.

I think the engine is still there: I see an orange oil pan behind cross member and crushed chrome air filter remnant by firewall.

Those look like Minnesota plates on both cars.
