Pictures of cars and things of my past of my past
The four friend I lost> I sold a 389 tri-power 4 spd to a freind he put it in a orange Ventura Sprint. He hit a concrete bridge side ways at over 100 mph Another friend and his pregnant wife were drug down the street under the back half of the car for at least 300 feet. The driver ended up in the creek with the front end . The passenger who was on crutches from a previous accident in a Firebird . He was decapitated his body was stuck to the bridge with the floor and the seats. His head was on the other side of the bridge down the road.
I had tow truck so I saw some pretty gruesome wrecks. The worst was I had to pull a Chevy off of a concrete wall that it was wrapped around. with the guy still in the cab . They needed to get to him. I can still hear him screaming. He died scream for his mom and Dad. I have a kind heart for rescue workers today. Years back they didn't have the Jaws of life at all fire rescue squads. There were times they had to wait for the tow truck. Twin booms and out riggers were a plus when there was nothing to tie down to near by.
A challenger with a 4 yr. old girl inside. a Aspen R/T that was stuck in the side of a truck with the driver molded in to the grille dead. A blue 68 charger I sold hit a concrete wall head on. The young kid in the back seat . His legs were stuck under the bucket seat up to his knees bent the opposite way. I never thought that would be possible. Yeah I have those pictures of many of those cars. They bring back memories I would like to forget. If it weren't for the frame ties and cage in the Duster I would have probably lost my son from the car being ripped in half .
When I get some time I will load a lot more pictures to this thread. But not all of the wrecks due to respect.
You could not get all the carnage out of some cars . We would put them on top of other cars at Hirschmans yard so the stink would blow away. Tony Hirschman would pick them up. His son is a spotter for Kyle Busch now.
There are some pictures that bring tears that I didn't post. We all like to forget the sad things in life. Sometimes pictures bring us back to reality. Our past has more influence than we could imagine with our future. I lost many friends in these old muscle cars. One accident 4 at one time . I remember this GTX accident like yesterday pictured below. My wife and I recently went to the tree. It is at least 100 feet off the road at the bend by the golf coarse.
