This car reminded me of a car I saw here recently from a new member. The hammer style wheels are what drew my interest. Is this the same car ?

Wow....

Hoytster · Jul 28, 2020

@Ernsay And he is from Michigan....

Here is the only pic of his car I could find.

WOW. How does that even happen? I hope he is ok. The article said that it was not a fatal accident, but I dont see how you come out of that with bumps and bruises.

Damn. I thought it was a convertible. T-top cars don’t offer much more structural integrity.

Makes you appreciate modern vehicle structural and safety enhancements.

These cars seem to tear like tuna cans...either at the firewall or the rear floor pan.

That looks like a good reason for the whole subframe and jacking rail kit.

Don’t let Nader see this, otherwise he’ll write about Mustangs in unsafe at any speed 2.

WOW ! hope whoever it was is ok, how does that happen !
Hard to tell but it looks like the front bumper on the accident car is black and maybe missing
molding in front of wheel well.

Well, now i'm rethinking those rear child seats...

This is at least the sixth fox I've seen that came apart like that. Kinda scary, to be honest.

I found a video that details some more of the car. The front bumper is primer grey but doesn't show the side of the bumper we can see in the picture he posted on the site. I hope whoever it was is ok. This really doesn't surprise me, when really cutting into these cars you discover how slapped together these things are and how little structure there is in certain areas.

Mustang5L5 · Jul 28, 2020

If you sever one of the rockers, then there’s really not much holding the car together at thar point. No roof like on a t-top car and it just tears. Compound that with a rusted floor, or a seat pan with stress tears, and these cars are just weak tin cans.

Really hope the driver of that car is doing ok

Article says it was a ‘79. This car is an ‘85, so don’t think it’s him.
Either way, sure hope the driver is ok. That is a sobering set of pictures!

Mustang5L5 · Jul 28, 2020

‘79s also didnt habe t-tops from the factory.

also looks like an ‘83-‘84 nose on it

Ryuk · Jul 28, 2020

This article says it was an 83.

Vintage Mustang that broke apart in crash ran into SUV, driver tells cops

The driver of the Dodge Durango told investigators he was westbound on Eight Mile Saturday when the red 1983 Mustang hit his vehicle at Evergreen Road

It seems the year of the car would be a pretty easy detail to get right.

Mustang5L5 · Jul 28, 2020

Just a broken arm? I’d say he got very lucky

Hell yeah..... I’d be counting my blessings a few times!

Hoytster · Jul 28, 2020

28 doesn't match with Ernsay's profile (32). Glad whoever the guy was just came away with a broken arm.

90sickfox · Jul 28, 2020

The durango driver said the mustang hit him ? How in theeee hell. Smh. It sure doesn't look like that from the pics.
