Pretty bad wreck, glad you weren`t hurt too bad!
Years ago I watched a buddy roll his V8 Vega (perils of street racing!). He also broke his jaw & back!
When he crashed the car rolled & hit a steel gate post & we had to pull the roof up to get his head out of the passenger window!
Funny thing is he wanted me to ride with him when he raced but I refused.

The wheels and tires look like they were "take offs" from a 79 or 80 Z28.

The accident was on Thomas, 2 blocks west of Rt. 12 in Arlington Heights, Oct. 1980. I was traveling west and the car took a left turn off the road hitting the first tree and rotated around and continued west into the second tree in the photo. I think the left front tire may have blown, I have no idea, I wasn't racing thats for sure.
Hillside was the wrecking yard in Arlington Heights the wreck was towed to.

Glad you made it out of that one OK Mark. And actually, I think those wheels look great on the car..
