Wrecked '82
I saw this on the DC Beltway on the way to work this afternoon. Had to splice 2 shots together. The passenger side was still pristine. What a shame.
Hope it didn't belong to anybody here.

I travel the DC beltway 4 times a week. Glad I didn't see that one!

That will probably take at least 2 rolls of duct tape to fix.

Another vette sale on ebay.
Runs good. Some minor work needed.

It's going to need some new fiberglass and a repaint but it does not look like it needs any frame work. If the birdcage is still straight I would call it a light hit. I have pics of mine that look a lot like that from when a guy sideswiped me back about 15 years ago. Cost maybe $3500 to fix but the guy that hit me paid for most all of that. Replaced the 2 fenders and door skin. Not a huge deal like a bent frame or a lot of expensive parts. JMO
