Red face Newly Restored Xy Gt................crashed!

Apparently this car has just cost $95k and the owner crashed it on its way home after picking it up!!!!! OUCH!!!!
I know a lot of you will say it is a POS anyway cos it has the evil oval blue badge on it....
But personally i reckon it is a shame cos IMHO most cars from tha era that sported the true aussie muscle car image are all sweet rides regardless.
Doesnt say if he was being a tool at the wheel or not...... or weather it was a mechanical failure, but from the damage sustained i would say he definetly was not doing 50kph in a built up area!!!
Hopefully it will be repairable!
If it was from his stupidity i say.... HAR HAR ! U tool!
Glad no inoccent bystanders were hurt.

I dont think anyone here will call it a POS, any car enthusiast can respect and enjoy what a lovely car it was/is.

take a look at the pic i think its safe to say he came around that bend a little too confidently at a decent speed, over corrected and bang. got another theory?
although i could be wrong but somehow i doubt it

As if that's a POS. It would bloody FLAME the majority of the commodores on this forum.

It's a damn shame it had to end like that.

damn that sucks for him, even tho nothing brings more joy to my heart than a bent ford, that is cruel. wonder if he will have a go at straightening it or not, for 95k its worth a go i reckon

thats right cobez it is a shame just like my mates xb coupe that got flattened like that au in nsw.
it was under a carport waiting for a paintjob (all the prep had been done) and the block next door had a 2 storey house being built.
the brickies layed a wall of bricks on the second floor and the thing fell onto the carport which then collapsed on to the coupe.
the really bad thing is that if they had told my mate about it he would have moved the car into the panel shop right next door and the whole thing would have been avoided.
ill get some pics up tomorrow
