Nice ride huh? 1971 Mustang Fastback. 302, 3 speed manual. Matching numbers. I got this out of a salvage yard when I was 15. This is what a little elbow grease, a job at McDonald's, and a paint job does.

This is what happens when your nice ride gets T-boned by an F-350 going 70-75 mph. I was wearing my seat belt (lap belt) which kept me from probably flying out the passenger window (or into the door). I got hit so hard my car was apparently airborne while it spun around and my quarter panel knocked out the guys tail light (QP damage in second pic).

I walked away from this with a small scratch from the latch on the seat belt. I hurt for days, don't get me wrong, but I was relatively unharmed. This is why I love fat muscle cars.

Whats your story and do you have pictures?
