It was 1978. A guy my age in town (AH) hit a Dear with a 70 GS Stage 1. All it needed was front sheetmetal. Silver/Black/Black,Buckets,Console,Gauges,4 speed with A/C nice Buick wheels and all.50k on the odo. Owner decided not to repair.I purchased the engine Ram air to pan,And like a dumb ass not the rest of the car. The remainder went to the junk yard.

not a supercar supercar but in the summer of 71 there was a 69 L78 Pacecar that got caught between a retaining wall and a Semitrailer in N Illinois that still sits behind a barn in N Illinois today. driver survived and the car was hauled and parked.

Lots of them in fires. 2 in the last 10 years that come to my mind is an alum motor car that had a building burn around it. Then there was a Super Cobra Jet Mustang in a house fire.

Back in H/School during the spring of 1978,an older new student named Tim pulled into our shopclass with a white M/T 1974 SuperDuty T/A to have it tuned and touched.When lunch hour came,he wanted to treat us all to sub's @ Italian U-boat off Roosevelt Rd.
There was a very rural and wicked lil 1/4 mile road nearby called Lacey Ave. that we used to all secretly run our cars down,but it had a nasty whiplash S curve at the end,as well as potholes & dips that you had better well respect and shut down once you saw the picked fence off to the side.
We only had 45 minutes before our next class,so after lunch we all headed back.Tim wanted to see Lacey and experience it.We told him we didn't have time,so headed back to school in another car,but he headed straight to Lacey ave.We told him to slow down once he sees the fence.He didn't and we found out later that day after no one had heard from him that his car went airborn and plowed into the embankment where Lacey met Finley.He flipped & totaled the car so badly,that he was lucky to be alive.
I remember him saying what chumps the insurance co. was.
Bet he's not saying that today,if at all.
His twisted wreckage sat in Jerrys Valley Auto Wreckers in Lemont for nearly 15 years before they scrapped it.
Harvested all to hell too..

How 'bout a Red-on-red 1963 Z-11 Impala, minus engine sitting halfway out of a backyard garage with it's complete, delicate aluminum front end poking out un-protected in the elements? It had less than 20 original miles on the odometer and besides the missing engine, it was very raced very little in the first couple years of it's life with only a few simple modifications before it's engine ended up in a 1965 Chevelle AWB car.
