Good lord, Glad everyone is OK. That is such an awful feeling to be involved in something like that. (been there done that).I have been admiring your car since I first saw it on the forum.I have felt your pain before.

Tell you what, when you get gathered up, If you want I will volunteer to help you fix that car at a reduced rate (if you dont have any one in your area) Please dont take this as a solicitation for work,(we have plenty). Just trying to help a corvette friend, as I am experienced in extensive c3 corvette reconstruction.

Contact me if you need to.

Again, so sorry for your loss!!!!!(my wife is too. She gasped at the pics)

Dude, that is horrible. I am so sorry to see this and glad your both ok.

I to spun mine out the first week after I installed the LS1. Same think, I was trying to pass and the guy next to me speeded up, forcing me to punch it. I spun around at 60 mph.

WOW! Just glad no one was hurt. Sure is painfull to see the damages to that car.

I have seen the "other car speeding up to prevent the pass" happening more and more lately. I used to think it was common practice for this type of stuff when I had my motorcycle.. I see it almost as often since I drive my vette daily. I realize it's somewhat of a "he said/she said" thing... Can anything be done (ticket, etc...) to them for being "part" of the reason for the accident in the first place?

I was kinda expecting to see a two lane and not a divided hwy. Sadly, the only way to prove anything in court is to trade paint. The driver you woke from their nap is both an azzgasket AND a coward.

I agree with most of the members of CF. Be thankful no one was hurt. This is the risk when we drive our loved cars on the roads. Your car was beautiful before it looks like it can be again.

It was a nice piece. But how do you tear up both ends passing or attempting to pass a car?
