Bought a set of really nice bucket seats out of a 69 Chevelle years ago, covered in brown dirt. When I washed them the dirt turned red. That puts chills down your spine for sure.

What did you do with it? You could probably get money from that on ebay. Some nutter out there would buy something like that.

That was my first 91 RS.
90mph or so into a poll. But because I hit it on the edge the car whiped around and passenger rear hit a tree. Thats what saved my butt, the car didn't stop on the initial impact, alot of the force was transfered to the spinning, and absorbed in the 2nd impact rather than it all being in the first. I think the fact that the poll didn't hit the engine helped alot in absorbing the impact too. The spin also sent my floorjack I had sitting on the hump flying 15ft through the side of the hatch instead of directly at my head, I watch what I keep back there now. Held up pretty damn well, only injury I had was a very small cut on my finger from climbing out the broken window, I also learned not to keep my maglite between the seat and console, got a bruise on my ankle when that flew foward. I'm still trying to figure out how my feet wern't crushed, when I went to pull the remote start I discovered the floorpan was bent up, and you couldn't even see the pedals.
I disapointed a few cops, one of them almost kicked me out of the scene, I heard another asking where the body was, I informed him I was the body
Then the moron cops tell me I need to sit down, so I go to sit down, walk a bit away from the car, and get yelled at for some reason they want me to sit right next to it in the mess of broken glass, that took a great deal of bitching before he figured out why I didn't want to sit there.

I was doing 25-30 mph and slid on a banked 90* on ramp in the rain. I was way under the limit (40mph) and did not get ticketed. The cops all loved my car

I think these cars hold up great in accidents... well, not the car itself, but the passenger compartment almost always seems OK.

I was stopped for a school bus letting kindergarden kids off in my 84 Z28 (on the way to the body shop for a paint estimate, just finished my interior conversion and my motor/tranny/rear swap) when a girl in a Corsica hit me doing 45. She never touched the brakes... or they didn't work.



I ended up getting more than the book value for the car because I showed the adjuster all my receipts and told him I was restoring it. He felt bad and got me a bunch more than book. I think it booked at $1200, but I ended up getting $2000. I kept the car and sold it for $1400 (I had $4000 in receipts from just that year!!)



It might not look too bad, but the doors/hatch/hood wouldn't shut right, the rear end was crooked (the tires rubbed the insides), and the T-tops then leaked. It hurt, but I didn't have the $ to have it fixed.

Yes, I did loose some cash. And an unpriceable amount of labour... not to mention a part of me!

But, I had to push for what I got. And it isn't easy to sell a 3rd gen with 300k body miles that needs a new body! lol

I could have parted it out and made a lot... but I couldn't do that mentally. I had to just get rid of it; as I knew it would just rot in the driveway!

It does seem like thirdgens keep the important cargo safe in these wrecks. This makes me feel alot better/safer.

Here's my 88 GTA parts car 82k miles....owner wouldn't give me any speed, but said he wasn't going very fast and a deer came out in the road, so instead of hitting it, he decided to hit a tree. Frame and floor boards are twisted.





Here's my friend's 88 Formula 5 speed a week after buying new rims/tires. He was running from the cops doing around 105 and slammed into the back of a moving Caddy. 105 taking into account his brake marks, I'd say he impacted around 80mph.



Here's my old 89 Formula. Hit a deer traveling at around 65-70, but at around 50mph actual impact speed. Not too bad really....didn't even crack the windsheild.
