We figured it was doing about 50mph when it hit the cement ditch bank across the parking lot and exploded. It was raining plastic pieces!

How it missed all the trucks and trailers in the lot I'll never understand.

I read this in the doctor's office waiting room and LOL'd!

I had my own experience. Long story short, I had the NSS jumpered out, and during repair had the shift selector in L. I went to go start the car and retest my work without putting the shifter in park. My 67 FB launched into my work bench, and luckily didn't end up in my laundry room. Work bench is totalled, and the front bumper got tweaked back an inch or two at the peak. I had to pull it out with a come-along and tree.

GP, I feel for ya. Between misadjusted NSS and miswired ignition circuits, your wagon is in a bad spot. This is why I just bought an entire rewire kit for my Lemans - to unfudge the butchery that occured in a previous life.

Does anyone have a picture of what I should be seeing underneath. I went back to the wagon and it seems that the shifter cable inside the his/hers is really messed up. I see the shifter shaft moving from park to neutral to drive but I dont think it is registering underneath. I did get a second to stick my head underneath but it was hard with exhaust pipe in the way. Will get the wagon lifted up and Im sure something is amiss under there. Probably rusted in place from all the years sitting outside.

I wont start it

I'm sure a lot of us have a "runaway car story". I woln't put it up here, but one board member who posts here frequently has a pretty good one, if he's willing to share it?

Something about installing a newly "rebuilt" transmission and having back off the car ramps, out thru the garage door and across the street, etc when he first fired it up, and it was in Park from what I can remember........Cliff
