Very sad, with few exceptions, all have been smacked in the front or been rolled. Too much HP in immature hands.

The hugger SS convertible hurts my feelings the most. If you can, try and buy the title for that car, along with booth doors (have build stickers and SLP decals on the inside) as well as keep the VIN tag on the dash.
In 20-30 years, that VIN tag, doors, and title could be used to restore another car back into the SS. You should see what '67 and '69 SS 396 and Z28 cowl tags, vin plates, and titles sell for now. Some are worth $20-30K

I have revived about 5 of these now. It is a shame some of these cars get salvage titles when the damage is so minor....others deserve it though

Those pics are crazy. That last red T/A is devastating! They all made me think of the people just like us driving them and having fun with their cars. I hope they all lived, and have recovered. From the looks of some of those cars I don't know.

Some of those pictures make me wonder if the occupants even survived! BTW I thought build numbers for the HOSS convert were 2 or was that just for the white interior and white top?

Yeah, there's a few less F-bodies and bodies period on the road. What are you gonna do. I saw a 89 GTA in a local junkyard a few years ago. Everything on the car was totaled except the taillights. There wasn't a panel on the car that hadn't been crunched. It looked like someone rolled it at about 100mph. Somehow, the taillights survived and went home with me. They have a good home now.

Here are a few pics from my "fallen birds" collection of photos.
The next one is not a wreck but almost worse than that. This was a stolen N.O. area CETA that was located in an isolated area. Completely stripped to the bone!
The worst for last.
These are the remnants of a CETA vert. The driver and his brother(in a Porsche) were racing on the interstate at over 100 mph when he lost control and went sideways into a lightpole, severing the car in two and throwing him from the wreckage. The brother had no idea that the accident happened as he was in the lead and didn't find out until later.
The front of the car:
The driver did not survive.
