Percentage of F bodies that havent had accidents
Just wondering everytime I scroll the classifieds for cars for sale it seems a high number of them have had some sort of accident.
When I say accident I mean an incident which required body panel repair/replacement not someone hitting your car with a shopping cart and leaving a ding
So who here has a 100% clean title/car fax with all original body panels intact??
Also if yours had an accident feel free to post up pics!

I have all my original body panels intact, but a tree limb fell through my windshield and passenger t-top, so those had to be replaced. Small dent on the roof, the part between the t-top and the windshield. Everything else is good. I had it fixed through my insurance at a dealer. Does crap like that go on a CarFax?

the only incident I have have was backing up into our garage and getting to close to something and it made about a 1" scratch in the paint. Other than that, nothing. Not even any curb damage.

Bought mine new when I was 29 is that Adult enough for you guys. My Mother backed into it cracking the Driver door before it was a year old. A couple yrs later it was side swiped out in front of my buddies house had to fix the Door Quarterpanel and it took the drivers mirror off. Still has all the original parts (Minus the Mirror) just been massaged and filled when necessary. Currently has a small dink from sliding into the fence on the ice. It's right at the Wheelwell opening ( Right rear) so it's barely noticeable.
If you drive your car often things are going to happen eventually. I have great Insurance and some autobody repair skills so I don't worry too much.

mine has never been wrecked as far as i know, bought it 5 yrs old. I think it may have been vandalized at one point tho because you the front fender has been re-cleared and the door has been re-painted at some point. My guess is someone tried to break into it, and scratched the door all up or it got keyed.

Mine has a clean bill of health, carfax was clean. But looking at it on the drivers door, I think it's been replaced. Paint looks a little crappy compared to the rest of the car at an angle. Not enough to notice though without getting right up on it.

Why adult owned? adults can be fools just like anyone. How about "mature person owned" lol.
Mine is clean.
Mine is clean.
I say this because for younger drivers inexperience behind the wheel is the leading cause of accidents...Plus the chances of someday viewing a burn out video of the car you recentlly purchased are much higher

My camaro was in some accident, looks like a deer from how the driver fender is just broken and no scratches or traded paint. Don't think it is on the car's record though since the previous owner never got it fixed through insurance. So no report = no record. I don't know for sure though since I didn't check the carfax history on it (yeah yeah maybe bad idea...)

My car was in a hit and run before I bought it, shitty repair to the front bumper was done so I had to replace the front bumper and headlight assembly because it looked like garbage.
I was also rear-ended by some dumb high school girl with no insurance:
