It looks like a Copart listing. I could not find it though.

It was on Copart, I saved the pics awhile ago. I think it sold for around $5,600. It was in Danville Virginia.

vin was 2V87Y3N145388 so it was a 73 even though it looks like a 70-72.

And a formula that shows what really happens after a Duke's of Hazard style jump.

At least for the TA, the passenger compartment seems not too badly deformed. The Formula is another story. Was it really damaged in a jump?

I bought the twin to that car back in 98. Same color, same dirt filled grilles but no one was seriously injured when it was wrecked. It was 350 4 speed car who's rear half went on to resurrect an original Brewster green TA.
