When I had a backfire and blew the muffler on my 72 T/A it looked exactly like that. There is some design flaw that makes them prone to implosion when too much fuel lights off in the pipes. The muffler expands to fully fill the space between the rear end cover and the fuel tank. It was a SOB to get it out of my car when it blew.

Nice car BTW! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
