Surely a contender for the 'Most Stuffed Falcon Ever'!!!!
I know we've all seen wrecks on here after major accidents (high speed rolover, car into tree etc.) but that has to be right up there. I saw a XD wagon once that went sideways into a steel highway light pole....everyone survived but it took the pole out completely and the car was majorly bent, roof gone, whole left side stuffed etc. but this one beats it by some margin!!!! If anyone was in that car than RIP..... it would have been quick at least. Reminds me of a quote from rusty ingall in a channel 7 promo for bathurst last year....'....if you get it wrong, that metal ball just crushes in on you....'. Still, looks like a truck hit this one....no one can get it 'that wrong' even in a Typhoon....

Regardless....no-one could have survived that!

That would have had to be a truck or train or something HUGE like that just basically running over the back........
But like people have mentioned don't worry its only "rear damage" the front and middle are ok right?? : P.S. If someone dies in an accident like that do they note it or anything?? or could you buy it and then find out through the news etc that was the car?? Last edited by Buzz Box; 05-10-2008 at 11:16 AM.

I find it slighty morbid that people could actully "pick apart" the final resting place of a persons death, if indeed that is the case... that thing should just go straight to the tip...

Brakes still worth 2-3K, cylinder head, rods and possibly block would be ok There is a car full of modules (brake, crash, engine control etc) as well as a lot of undamged harnessing. I'm sure you would get more than 5K from that car. Daniel |

Trouble is finding a buyer. Not many out there would would want to buy something off a car that has that severe kind of damage. Considering the price of stuff on eBay at the moment, it could be worth it.

I meant to say in my other post: Hope there was no fatal in that car, hopefully just a parked rear-ender by a semi or such. If there was a death, then my thoughts to the family. Daniel |

Friend of mine did somthing similar to a XE wagon years ago in the NT, only he was driving the triple trailered road train Kenworth that hit the stationary wagon while doing about 100kph, the diff housing ended up where the center console used to be........
Wagon was empty at the time... |
