Post pics of pitiful shelbys

[g0bbledeeg00k]

Not a Shelby, but very sad...my old Spirit R/T. Sold it and it came back looking like this. Guy was lucky to be alive.

Dang, Pat. I had no idea what that car ended up looking like. That sucks.

I was hoping someone still had that pic. It nearly started an online riot on the old board, lol. What ever happened to Alex anyway?


Best ones I have, #742:



And the remains of the Shelby Z that I bought from Alex:



And the Turbo Z I got from Dave:



Don't have any good ones of the GLHS at the moment.

He's busy racing motorcycles.. still has an '87 S tho. LOL, that was his GLHS that started the net-riot... The Lancer was mine

Pat, what kind of lift is that holding the Spirit up? Looks fairly compact.

I remember seeing those pics before and it's still pretty shocking even seeing them today. Quite the mangled mess. You should post the before pics to show the true extent of the carnage.

its on jack stands..

Yeah I see them now placed further back. I've heard about lifts similar to a forklift setup that you can brace against a structure wall and lift the car that way. So I thought maybe that was what was going on there. Maybe not...

I should have bought that R/T when I had the chance.

Pat,
How did the guy you sold the Spirit R/T to manage to wipe out both sides of the car at the same time? That's not easy to do, unless your trying to do that much damage to a vehicle.
Guy was lucky to survive the accident and survive the beating you deserved to give him. Like the Pharaohs said to Dreyfus (Curt) in American Graffiti, "lets tie him to the car, and drag him."

He lost it around a turn, went through (notice I said through) a few trees and two light poles while spinning up and down curbs. That car was mangled like no car I've ever seen...the roof was buckled, the floor boards were buckled/crushed, suspension crushed everywhere, it was crazy. Speed was definitely a factor.

It was sad for me since I built the car, but I ended up getting a pretty sweet deal getting it back to part it. I couldn't have paid for a tune up with what I paid to get the car back with the motor still intact.

#420 9/5/04 Last I knew it looked much the same under the care of the present owner.

very sad thread, hell That could be fixed Honestly Ive seen worse, but not many could fix that, just section a chunk off of another omni, my dad does this kinda stuff all the time(frame technician)

The pics Pat posted don't really do the damage to the car justice. I saw the car in Pat's garage and it was AMAZING how much it twisted.

What's the story on that one???

[85shelbycharger]

GLHS #80 before it was scrapped (2nd rustiest p.o.s. I ever bought..)

What's the story on that one???

Very low mileage truck. Was in a bad wreck early in its life. The driver was killed and now sits in the back corner of his best friends property.

A car that I came close to restoring. When I pulled back the carpet all there was was frame rail

this one has a happy ending. Had the front frame pulled and hung clean primered sheetmetal on it. Also installed an NOS quarter panel
