Holy crap! Glad you're OK, that was a heckuva lick that car took.

I am sorry to hear about the loss. I too had a 400E save my life right after i restored it. I rolled mine and it looked quite a bit better than yours but what it did was to make me a true believer in the safety of these cars.

Good for you that you're OK.

If you decide what to do with the car, let me know.
I'm interested in :
- airbox behind headlight L and R
- hoses for airfilter to airboxes L and R
- black plastic cover between thermostat and airfilter

Contact me : fal "at" knology "dot" net

Thanks,
fredd

WOW! that is way more damage that I expected to see when you described the accident! But obviously the impact was intense. The cabin held up incredibly well.

I can't imagine you don't have some sort of whiplash or something.

I was going about 35-40, witnesses put the semi at 60+. Now you understand why I am so thankful to be alive.
