If you know how and have a place to do the bodywork,and the price is right....this would maka a nice purchase. Though,one may need a frame machine . The engine damage is another factor,also.

Id like to have the motor and trani to stick in my 68, make for a nice mod

I bet this things makes crazy money. It will not be a deal when the hammer falls.

I hope the driver sees this thread and will let us know how he is doing and the circumstances involved with the accident.

I hope this wasn't another power steering failure. The Vert should have been in storage this time of year..JMO

ZED SLED · 12-19-2012, 08:07 AM

Now I feel so much better about having one

How many PS failures have there been?

DRKS1D3 · 12-19-2012, 08:46 AM

Yea, I'd like to hear the story behind this too. Too much car, not enough driver? Steering failure? Who knows...

Here's a 300 mile flood-car. Looks like it was underwater... Sad...

I thought the link said engine damage. Maybe worse than it looks.

Yeah it did.Agree. With Estimated cost to repair 48K(if correct) maybe the engine blew?

Here is one that I posted in the regional forum. Sadly the driver died. The tire in the picture seems to be from a ZL1. I have heard nothing further regarding the accident / cause. But the conditions here were clear and cold at the time of the accident.

I bet it's this one. A black ZL1. No pic,though.
