Makes me wonder the rest of the story. Driving like a dummy or ran off the road by someone.

Oh no! What a bummer. Hope nobody was seriously hurt

Just saw someone stated his son was driving and a few others stated he did not have permission to. Son ended up in the hospital. I am not clear though reading the comments if this is current or happened awhile ago and just resurfaced... Either way hope his kid is OK.

I heard that the second set of strobes confused the driver on whether he was going forward or backward at the time. NEVER add a second set of strobes to your RR!

If my son took my car without me knowing he would be in the hospital and not from the wreck !
Still hope the kid is OK if this is true.
Damn shame for the car as it looked pretty nice

I worked at a local body shop back in the late 80’s, and a Tor Red ‘72 came in for some minor work. It was towed in a month later, and looked just like that.

Holy crap! Maybe speed was a factor...

Good thing it was a '72 & not a '68-'70.

Sorry going have to disagree RC. I have had all kinds of B-bodies and a '71-2 Plymouth is among my favorites. Great rare options could be had on these cars..

I can appreciate your feelings, but keep in mind that I do have exquisite tastes.

I bought a '71 all original 440-6 GTX 4 speed in the mid 70's. it was smashed up like this blue one. I towed it to my buddys body shop and he helped me restore it to like new condition. I swear every time i powershifted into second gear the car would lurch into the next lane lol.

I've heard of Cars and Whiskey doing that as well.
