Yes, you remember correctly, though my Cougar didn't suffer quite so much damage:


Is that the same blue as my car? Looks lighter.

Looks like a bone-stock AMC Gremlin to me :hick:

While were showing off wrecks, here's what's left of my buddy's '85 T-Bird after he came over a blind crest and found a drunk driver on the wrong side of the road bearing down on him at ~55MPH. Note the undamaged hood - between this car and my Cougar we were beginning to think these hoods were indestructible:

They must be. My first T-Bird was a 87. It washiznit HARD in the left side by a 1997 Firebird. Destroyed the entire front of the car, but the hood was perfect.

I think the same about the hoods. When my dad washiznit driving his inmaculate 84 cougar in 1999, even rear end got busted, all the door panels were trashed, but guess what, i still have that hood without any rust !!! maybe it was some luck, because the front end flew away INTACT and is which my car has !!!

Well,  here is a photo of my cougar, which has not been repaired since Oct of 2005. Pretty fixable, i know, but i dont have experience in bodywork.

looking at the rust on it, I'd swear it came from Buffalo.
Thats what mine were starting to look like

The hoods arent untouchable i had a two tone gray 86 cougar 5.0 for my second car met the fornt of a parked pickup at 30 or so hood crumpled up like it wasnt there. I have pics but no scanner I will try to get them on here to show these hoods can be damaged...Hurt my knees when they hit the dash hurt the elbows cause i locked my arms and hurt the back cause i have a bad back to begin with... Funny part of the story is I drove that car around for 6 months with no insurance and no reg.. the day after I made it legal i totalled it...
