Using "FIRE" thread/post as a starting point...

Found this guy:

I could be “rong” but I’m thinking that’ll definitely buff out…

Fastback candidate… w/ a few tubs of Bondo

Cheese n rice, that looked painful.

wonder what the one in front of it is like? That one looks pretty rusty and crumbly when hit.

That would fit in most UK garages easily now.

You would think if there ever was a case for an exploding gas tank, this would be the one.

Agree more evidence that the whole exploding gas tanks was so overblown. Saw a ton of this sort of impact during my 30 plus years as a professional firefighter and along with all the examples I had seen in yards it was a very very rare case to find any evidence of a fire related to the impact.

Looks like possibly a good donor/parts car at the right price

the coolant overflow tank is just great…

Looks like the new gas tank.
