After looking at the pic, it looks staged, or that was one weird angle impact. It's not a frontal collision because the hood should have tee-pee'd up, and the crumble zones would have collapsed in.. Engine mounts would have broken off. Doesn't look like side impact because wheels are intact and show no serious damage from a impact.. And roof seems to be in to decent condition so doubt it was a roll-over.

Maybe this image helps? Looks like they hit front driver side to me. Also, the hood looks crumpled to me - it just looks like its laying on top of the car upside down.

I think you couldn't find it beacause the thread turned into another 'mustangs suck' forum and got deleted.

Will history repeat itself? Stay tuned...............

DIdn't ya ever see the guy running frm the cips in the Vette, doing well over 100, goes sideways and clips the rear of a semi, the Vette explodes around him, and he is left sitting up in the dirt like he was still driving it.

The whole car was gone, he was 100% fine like nothing happened, just sitting there.

Almost look like a movie joke where a car goes down a alley that is to skinny.
The way the itre n stuff ar gone but the engine area is sort of intact well and not shoved back real hard.

Like they drove a round car into a square hole. And the engine area just fit.

Which could of been between the rear of a semi, how they got that sqaure rearend crash guard. A nice square hole to fit into.

Now I know why the Camaro weighs 300lbs more............WHERE THE HELL IS THE FRAME AND SUB FRAME?...........So cheesy! Not built like the Camaro. With the Camaro Wrecks I have seen, you can still easily see the frame!
