I'm going to restore it someday.

That is what I tell everyone that ask what am I going to do with it.
Must have been a good size tree to buckle the rockers like that.

Guess you don't have to puts those bars in it before you start cutting lol.

There is a parts car in another post.

 

[moparmarks]

Oh I have a few parts cars.

I don't think it was a tree, it looks like it went head-on into a ditch! The core support is intact.

Naw, it was a tree. Owner was having a big tree cut down and told the lumberjack dude that he could move the car. Dude said that he would fall the tree the other way and well, guess that didn't happen as planed.

Move the car for safety for crying out loud! Dang wind can change direction at any moment! It's not hard to drop a tree in the direction wanted but you gotta do a few assessments to make sure it'll go your way....and then there's the breeze.

A cousin had a horse that looked similar lol

 

[moparmarks]

Ya I would have moved it. Common sense?

 

[zyzzyx]

Oh! A tree fell on the front windshield posts! I seeeeeee! Never trust a guy with a chain saw.
I'd have to clip it! Not as hard as you think if you have a donor car.

 

[moparmarks]

Ya the tree fell across the roof where the door is now sitting.
I have probably everything to fix except a roof but it is not worth it in my book. Someone will want the pretty nice quarters.

 

[Carcinogen]

Actually not too far from the Truth.

People have been bringing back cars now days that would have been easily scrapped in the past. The back quarters look rust free, put what's left on new frame and start welding new panels on.

 

[moparmarks]

Sure it can be fixed. I've seen people mainly back east fix a lot worst. It is full of crap so I don't know what the pans look like. Obviously it needs full rockers, front floor and a roof with A's. Just depends on what the back ends of the front rails and the cross member looks like. Those might still be good though I'm thinking the cross member is probably twisted. Car could probably be fixed without clipping it though I have a 70 front clip sitting here.
I've sold several front and rear clips over the years. Actually there are a few E bodies out there with my 71-2B front clips on them.
My days of major spot weld drilling are over.

 

[moparmarks]

I'll have to see what motor came in it. It is a power disc, sway bar, bucket seat, console, non-a/c car.

 

[moparmarks]

Kind of funny cause the guy that I got this car from I had just gave him a 66 Coronet that a tree fell on.

 

[zyzzyx]

If the body is rust-free, it's worth saving. better that chopping up a rust-bucket!

Doesn't really look that bad, looks like someone has already got the quarter panel straightened out and ready for paint.

Rule number one,don't leave your Mopar project car anywhere near a tree that us being cut down! Stupidity killed this Mopar!
