A few vintage photos taken before & after the accident.

First 3 were taken while Rick M. owned & raced it @ Oswego Raceway Park..those photos taken by Steven J. back then.
The next two are from Hemmings Motor News Jan. '78,when Classic Motors posted it for sale BEFORE the accident happened.
The ones after that,were taken by it's 3rd owner Horace in fall 1978,after he bought it and was amassing the many parts to fix it by Vic.
I have all the receipts showing every intricate part Horace & Vic had to buy for it,and the cost of each back then.He & Vic kept meticulous records.
The car was going south down a road,when another pulled out in front of it off a side street on the passenger side from the west,causing Bills driver to slow down and swerve,but unfortunately not enough to avoid damage.
After impact,the car at fault spun around and took out the passenger side.
The front end,hood & passenger side fender,door & 1/4 panel were all damaged,to say the least.Notice the P/S hood pin is bent out.
You can see a new black primer door skin waiting to be installed,still in it's packaging,leaning against the door..
