Any muscle car is subject to spin out when you're trying to make a sharp turn. I'n my opinion..just go ahead and hay bale that inside turn to give the drivers a little bit more peace of mind coming into that danger zone.

There could easily be a boatload of hidden damage here than you can't see from a distance. That barrier got hit pretty hard and moved a few feet. In addition to the left fender and front bumper, you could have the grille, radiator support, headlight bezel, headlight support, hood, bumper brackets, front valance. I'm not saying all this stuff is damaged or could not be bumped out, but it's not cheap to fix or easy to come by. A reproduction fender is easy, but finding the bumper is going to be a challenge. I'm no Chevelle expert, but there were a lot less Chevelles made than Malibus, and I'm not sure which of those front-end parts are Chevelle specific vs. shared. If you are replacing factory sheet metal with aftermarket Chinese reproduction, you will definitely take a hit in value for that. The fitment on those reproduction parts can be hit or miss too.

Richard Williams If he used original tires, his car would have wrecked even worse. The technology in the rubber back then was horrible. No grip at all! And the low profile tires (if that is what you mean by "Skinny") has much less sidewall flex to help out in cornering. Besides, they are not ridiculously low profiles at all by today's standards. And those Torque style rims are not at all ghetto. They are very much period style correct and the most common style seen on muscle cars. The driver made a major mistake in his driving skills, but definitely doesn't have a low IQ by using those wheels/rims. Actually shows he has some smarts.
@richardwilliams26289 жыл бұрын
The point is that these Chevelle's are supposed to be used for *drag strips or straight line street racing, not as course cars with lots of corners*. The 17-18 inch American Racing Torque Thrust rims and low pro tires belong on newer cars such as 1993-2000 Camaro's and Firebirds/Trans Ams because they have better handling. 1960's and 1970's Chevelle's look and perform better with the dragster or "Pro Street" look. In other words they perform better with the 15 inch rims and large/wide rear tires with pizza cutter tires in the front. The combination of the high performance motor, the large body style and low pro tires caused the driver to lose control of the Chevelle in this video and fish tail which led to the crash. They now sell wide rear drag tires with tred which prevent fish tailing.

Parking lots are notoriously slick with oils ect... Add some moisture and concrete barriers and there is a good chance of losing it. I have a highly modified muscle car and i wouldn't drive it on that course. Sweet Chevelle and I'm glad the damage wasn't worse. Some Autocross tracks get stuffed into a small area and others are in larger areas where you can go for it and if you spin out the only thing crushed are cones and ego.

68's are my favorites, have had several of them ! Those skinny taillights give me the fizz 👍 Do you still have the car ?

It’s there to protect the photographers and spectators. He wrecked on a short straightaway because he got on the gas too soon on a wet track. I suppose that the giant concrete base for the parking lot light was in a bad place as well? He almost hit that instead of the relatively soft jersey barrier that slid away after the car hit it. He got away with minor damage compared to if he hit the light post base which would have folded that Chevelle up like a taco shell.

He did that all by himself too... 🤦 He panicked, corrected AND got all the way off the gas- of coarse that was going to happen...

My 69 chevelle handled like crap in the corners too. Now my 77 chevy malibu cornered like a dirt oval modified. Bad ass.

So many make-shift tracks like this. Even tires that close will mess a car up.

Well, at least you can get parts for that. Would hate to ding our '62 Ambassador wagon...

Aww man, that was nasty to watch. Such a beautiful machine. Still, the damage looks easily repairable. Not cheap, but repairable. At least the old cars were built to take a bit of punishment. Who the fuck puts solid concrete barriers just 6ft from a track anyway? They should have been the last line of defence before any property or people. At least could have put stacks of tires between the track and bollards to absorb slow collisions like this.

Actually with tires there. He likely would have ended up with more body damage. I bet all he needs id a new bumper. I doubt the fender took any real damage.

In the early mid '70s junk yards had plenty of SS Chevelle's. They mostly had the same damage that totalled them. And that was front end damage from hitting a telephone pole! Most were so horrific it was all the way to the dashboard, some people had to have been killed. The '68 and '69 I've owned had one thing in common. They fucking flew! But do not make any sharp steering moves over 140 mph!

I don't know whether to like the video because I love those 396 Chevelles or to dislike it because my dude over here hurt his baby.
