I don't know much about endura bumpers, but they are essentially rubber over steel (?) - so this one is toast without any usable parts right?

[Steve Shauger]

Marlin, I doubt the bumper brackets are even usable!

I was there the night that happened. I thought there was 4 people in the car but was told there was 6. Nobody got really hurt. Was there just after they dug it out of the woods. There was 4 grown men sitting around for hours just looking at it. Still had origal heater hoses and clamps. The yellow tag was still in the glovebox.

Its mostly a display piece for someone with floor space and a few bucks. ..
Honestly.
That's the thing to do. Is display it as what it is really is......
A field find / forest find untouched in 39 years.....
A survivor Grave yard car as a testimonial.

Clear coating the whole entire car top to bottom inside out and in between .....

I bet at Chicago in November it would be the Star attraction

It really would be a neat converstion piece to have just to look at. If I had the oppertunity I would have bought it in a heart beat. Actually to show this is what happens when you drink, drive and race around on the street. 2ndpic is not all that long after.

[Day2_69Z]

Damn. .come on with more pics and storyline....
And the 39 years disparity....

I guess the seller pulled the motor and trans to check those.

X-Ram Car?

[iluv69s]

if it were x-ram wouldnt they have removed The throttle lever and connected a cable for the throttle linkage most likely? I see they relocated the coil bracket...???

[Day2_69Z]

I thought the same thing.....
But I kept in mind that at the time of the crash it already had 63,000 miles on it and was about 7 years old. Pics show added Lakewood bars, aftermarket tires and wheels......etc.
A cross ram then was not an expensive add as it us today (relative) .
Mechanical linkage was common then on a GM or Aftermarket unit such as WIEAND or Edelbrock.....

The secret lays In when the engine and trans was pulled..... and I think it was Soon after it crashed.
Its hard to believe that a blown up original 302 was replaced by a Dealer with a Older Incorrect CE.
A little embellished Info by the seller may be underlying.
I feel the engine was added by the past owner as that's what he could afford in a "used engine"
Who's to say for sure......but the fella here with a connection may shed some light on it.......
After all its really a moot point other than the entertainment value for us to digest.

I'd still leave it alone and preserve it as is.
Its worth much more this way than as a parts car.
