Default Re: 69 chevelle body knocked off frame in fatal wreck

I don't know - In my younger days we took a new Camaro, a Saturday afternoon - some headers,
a hot cam and a three barrel carb - couple beers at the bar and it was test & tune Saturday night.
We got backwards at over a hundred, climbed a curb and caught a pole at the driver side firewall
about 2/3 feet off the ground - it split the car in two and dropped the motor on the ground.
The force of the impact almost put a tool box that was loose in the trunk through the quarterpanel.
The subframe broke - but not the body bolts!
