Newly Restored Xy Gt................crashed!

[Rhino Racing]

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.

Man that has got to hurt

I really do have a soft spot for the old gt's

I think it will get fixed sinse he has allready spent a fortune on it but it looks to have a horrible twist in the front

might need to book some hours in on the flat rack

[m62vpute]

sorry my bad

[wildss]

what a wanker, just ****ed a perfectly good car

[adam69]

I think i can safely say that it will need a reshell,just look how far the motor is set back.

[adam69]

what a wanker, just ****ed a perfectly good car

Why is he a wanker,you dont know what happened.

[VZTHUNDER]

this was posted ages ago on street commodores

its still a shame tho

[LeojVS]

man, see the wedding ribbons on the car. Hope it was only him in it, not the bridal party...

[wildss]

Why is he a wanker,you dont know what happened.

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

[Cobez]

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.

[Ripcell]

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

[wildss]

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

Holy Crapola!!!! That sux big time.
Yes pics please!

Got that via email a while ago now...

It's actually a restore job FROM that accident - not a restore then a prang. Note in the accident there is no rear spoiler and a GT badge on the grill and post rebuild there is a spoiler and no GT grill badge.

100%... only 1 eyed bogan holden/ford fans are the one's that would call such a beautiful car a POS.... i wish i could afford/justify spending that sort of money on a car very nice car but

[Astranomical]

What a waste of a car! If you can't handle a classic, stay the feck out of the drivers seat! Another classic gone :'(

[KRUPTD]

Thats a shame both those dream machines are part of history i like my fords just as much as i like my holdens,makes me what to pull my finger out and finish my XY ute and my missus HJ pano.

[wildss]

[woteva]

man, see the wedding ribbons on the car. Hope it was only him in it, not the bridal party...

A friend sent me this pic, the car was used for a wedding. He said it was a fake, and the good pics are actually after the prang. It was not just picked up, and is in no way worth $95K

[satos]

I am a car lover especially the vintage era and to see two cars like that written off is a damn shame.
