I'm guessing a fire? Either that, or the car flipped over and skidded for 100 yds on its roof and ground it down . . .

I always thought mine was the worst basket case I could have started with. After seeing this I think I had a mint condition car to start with.

I think it was stored in a horse pasture and they got real tired of waiting for hay. The reason for matching numbers is you can start fresh with any series you desire. I bet this was a prototype with a 409 that lived a secret life. Pro Team has the last 67... Now they can add the 1st C-2 rare and complete deserving a restoration fit for Scotty ! Look out Numbers from BJ auction !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
