This is the last I seen my car.It was towed to Ebensburg to a salvage yard.Ironically,the car was real close to the area where I bought the 2nd car,but the previous owner never seen mine when he was looking for parts. The left side of the car was almost unhurt as you can see by the photo.

Nice rare Car! Those later crash pics choke me up, it's kind of the same damage that did my Euro Sport in, only opposite side! My Euro was stolen though, the only pic I have is on Page 4 of my GTA page! Nice car collection, check out my rides sometime!
