I guess crumple zone designs work, looks like a pretty hard hit.  Passengers probably didn't have a scratch.

Wonder if the new seats would swap into the old e-bodies?

Pretty sure the seats are too wide for our cars.

 :22yikes:  Dollarwise, I wonder how much that would be to repair?  :clueless:
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

I saw that one listed on ebay a few weeks ago but I can't find the link.  It had some front end damage too.  It was being sold by some salvage yard in Ohio and sold in the mid 20's if memory serves.

I always said they should have made the wheelbase 2" shorter and make the body a little smaller,
but that's not the way to do it.. :crying:

That Silver one reminds me of the matchbox cars: you could smack into them and the door would flip around and be damaged looking..  :cooldancing:
