Default Who can identify this car????

A customer brought this car in for a restoration. It was purchased from the insurance company after the accident. It will get a frame off resto. but will be a driver not a trailer queen.. It kissed a pole at 45 mph.

That must have been one heck of a kiss. I bet only Paris Hilton could kiss the paint off of sheet metal like that.

Wow Kim, your the winner. That was quick.

Heres a couple more pics.





Driver and passenger were not wearing seat belts. The driver had 6 broken ribs and a perfect imprint of the steering wheel across his chest. The passenger actually put up both arms and saved his face from hitting the windshield. Minor cuts and bruises. Overall very lucky. I'll post some updated pictures soon.

Looks like it pulled the frame horns in, and the dash appears(hard to tell from the pic) a little buckled. You going to have to replace the frame?
