Re: 67 Frame Trouble

I wonder if that's a L88 car today?

Re: 67 Frame Trouble

...any more information? When? Where? What happened?

It doesn't look like a collision to me... looks like the frame just broke driving down the street?

Re: 67 Frame Trouble

sad to see a car end up like that. but in the first picture you can still see the frame stencil and shim counts on the frame rail.

Re: 67 Frame Trouble

Because of the open glove box, it looks like the driver hit the "frame-uncouple" button.
That car had the B007 "James Bond" option.
Rare.

Re: 67 Frame Trouble

Judging by the vintage of the Police car, the '67 could not have been too old when it happened.

I think that telephone pole in the second picture, tells the story

Oh so it must have been a power slide into the post with the James Bond option because Austin Powers wasn't available yet.

Re: 67 Frame Trouble

Wonder if speed had anything to do with it

A fair amount and looks like the hit of the power slide was just behind the passengers door of course.

More likely 427/390hp, powerglide/ac/headrests/bolt-ons.

Re: 67 Frame Trouble

Here's another 67 that broke in half after hitting a tree sidways. This was in the Chicago suburbs in about 1977. Supposedly, the guy and girlfriend survived.

I'm sure it's been restored and sold by now though.

I still have the VIN somewhere.
