Guy buys it from a dealer, it gets destroyed on the way to his house. It’s hard to feel too sorry for him- I’m sure he was made whole by insurance.

The guy I feel sorry for is the transporter. He’ll have a hard time collecting his cash, I imagine.

If it's like most restored vintage muscle cars from dealers these days it probably now looks much like it did when the restoration started, just less rusty.

Really hate to see that happen to that car.
I like those 71's , and with a 429

Noticed there are 2 damaged trucks in the pictures, another one besides the dually hauling the trailer.

The turn off looks a little abrupt, sorta like one of those 270 degree jobs that can catch you off guard if its your first time through.

Sorry for all those involved.
