TBird drag crash

Looks like it was an 83-84 with vent windows.  The cage must have been built right!

Hey, I used to drag race there before I joined the Army. ubly, michigan. Its a fun drag strip. Small and that makes it more fun to me. Lots of local yokals. Bummer on the car though for sure.

All 4 wheels were in tact thing he’s willing to part w/them.
Couldn’t hear what the driver was saying but I definitely felt him that was a real nice car can’t believe it went though the fence like that.
