I grew up in a motorhead family.

Al's 68/69 Charger.
My brother Al had a beautiful '68 Charger R/T. Bright red, white vinyl roof, white R/T stripe on the back. 440 4 speed.
One morning, I get up before everyone else, wander outside. I think I was about 8 years old. Al's R/T is parked way up at the end of the driveway, up tight to our old garage... odd.
I see what looks like a bright, pink string hanging from the hitch. Yes, it had a hitch.. he would often pull our small fishing boat, or our small pop-up camper. I walk over and grab the pink string... it's squidgy, mushy. ?
I walk around to the front of the car, and it's... obliterated. I can see the block. Just sheer destruction. i can remember the bright chrome bumper wrapped around the header.
Later, found out he had hit a deer the night before... jumped out of the ditch right in front of him.. no time to react. The 'pink string' was deer guts.

Al was OK. Banged up, 2 black eyes, bruises all over, but ok.

He told the cops he was doing 60. It came out to the family and friends that he was doing 'at least' 110.

He was going to junk it. Then my brother-in-law Donny (who will come up a lot in these stories) tells Al he can fix it.
Donny had a 69 that had been rear-ended. He cut off the front of Al's, grafted on the '69 front end. All good. Al pounded the car all summer.
The next spring, Al gets caught in a sudden downpour on the highway.. car hydroplanes around into a telephone pole, trunk first, at 60 mph.
Another couple months of Al riding out to Donny's, who had found another '69. Back half grafted on, good to go.
The only thing left "1968" on that Charger was the firewall, part of the floor and roof. Everything else was '69.
He sold it to a family friend, years later after he had a couple youngsters running around. He called Al up a couple weeks later, asking what it means when there are metal shavings on the trans dipstick. "Means you did stuff you shouldn't have".
I don't know what happened to the car after that.
Side note: Al and Donny took all those leftover parts cars, and made a dirt-tracker out if it. Al did pretty well in it, ran about 3-4 years.
