2024 Gander Demolition Derby - Bone Stock Heats

[@derekhicks2964]

Yes I agree not sure why someone would destroy a 1950's classic though

These are car's that you can't use lol

1960 Plymouth Fury,my dad had a dark blue one back in the day!

[@HR-wd6cw]

I'd agree but we also don't know the history of the car. Could have been wrecked and written off (which most of the time you cannot put them back on the road legally and no collector would want it if it's been wrecked). Other possibility could be if the frame for example was rusted out, then it's almost junk (as the cost to repair or restore the car would be more than it would be worth in the end, which is probably the reason here -- not worth restoring). I wouldn't doubt it if that car had a fair amount of Bondo on it.

[@sasz2107]

I'm finding the demolition of a 60 Plymouth to be completely appalling. It survived for 64 years! There has to be a reason it survived that long. I know someone who has one and could have used parts off of that! At least the grille, headlights, bumpers and tail lights. That car NEVER should have been in a demolition derby!

[@mavericknizmo9182]

It's one of those things people will do because they can, but never thinking about if they should do said thing

[@tailfin6595]

Same. Exner Mopars are priceless treasures and while that particular entrant was likely beyond hope for restoration, there’s plenty of rare trim pieces on there (which are usually taken off per demo derby rules anyway) that could have been put to good use.

[@jerryfarmer5989]

[@user-tq9kg1bn1m]

Smashing up that 60 Plymouth was stupid

[@mattpenney5999]

😂

[@thefancydoge8668]

It was probably beyond repair and was most likely going to be crushed when they bought it, so giving it one last show before it gets crushed anyway is the best way.

[@speakfreeley4473]

@@thefancydoge8668 Could've used it in a movie set during period when the car was new & destroyed it in that. I agree it's more than likely it was finished but in a movie it would have started off nice & new looking.

[@richardrice8076]

​@@thefancydoge8668no classic is beyond repair and it would not have been crushed. That '60 Plymouth, as well as those other cars, deserved a better fate. At best it would've been a good donor car to help restore another '60 Plymouth.

[@thefancydoge8668]

@richardrice8076 apparently you've never been in a junkyard, classic cars end up there and get crushed after a while. And they end up there because they are beyond repair since you would have to be someone that just throws away money to repair something that would cost way more than it's worth and will forever be stuck with the car since nobody will ever buy it.

[@VAROOMABLOO]

YOU NEVER EVER DISAPPOINT...I WANT TO LIVE IN THAT PIT!!!!!

[@ricksanchezsflask8794]

[@randomcosplaydudesimpressi8509]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="113">1:53</a> it was such a nice car. What a waste of classic history. 😭😭😭

[@mavericknizmo9182]

Maybe it had a huge rust hole somewhere, making it near impossible to repair due to the damage and how much that would cost. Restoring classic cars like that Plymouth(?) can cost a fortune

[@Bill_from_Nantucket137]

😭🙏🏻

[@richardrice8076]

@mavericknizmo9182 and there is someone out there willing to spend a fortune. I know, there is a gentleman in Minnesota who took a pile of rust and turned it into one of the prettiest '60 Plymouths you'll ever see.

[@Lunar_Capital]

I’m so confused as to why that Buick LaCrosse ran against these massive land yachts. It crumbled like tin foil!

[@235FireFly]

Needed a few extra cars to help fill up the pit, and he volunteered to enter. Oddly enough last year he did the same thing and ended up winning it.

[@amatuercouncilerdane6211]

Best damn heat I have seen in years!!! Thank you for posting!!!

[@JulianKeller-om6wz]

That was one hell-uv-a good show guys! That's the first time I have ever seen front wheel drive, rear wheel drive, mini vans and compacts all in the same heat. Pretty wild! 13 one wild assed driver! That last head on between him and 16 was one hard assed hit! I expected more out of that lassic old Christine car. That's one heavy and solid old buggy man. Needed better prep and a different driver. But great derby you all!

[@bardamu72]

détruire , comme ça , des voitures de collection ? est ce bien raisonnable ?

[@HR-wd6cw]

Baby blue sedan had a good run seeing that it won the first one, and almost won the second one (I would say the van obviously won the second one, but to be fair, it was the second demo derby for the blue car). That being said, there should be a rule that they must make contact (when there is say 2-3 cars remaining) at least every 30 seconds and they can't run the clock out (unless it's of course one of those "to the death" matches where they go until only one car runs, not a timed event).

[@corvetcoyote443]

Yep the light blue caddy and the green yellow Lincoln are the ass kickers.

[@hughjass1044]

I wouldn't get too upset about the '60 Plymouth, guys. Very likely it wasn't in anywhere near as good shape as it might have looked. I've personally seen this kind of thing happen before. Racetrack I worked at has these things every Labor Day and one year, a guy enters a '69 Impala. I thought "you gotta be kidding me!!" That is until I went and had a closer look at it. Thing was rusted to hell, interior shot, no good for anything. Just because something's old and may look good from a distance doesn't mean it is.

[@richardrice8076]

I'll get upset. That Leave it to beaver mobile shoulda been saved. This isn't calling the scrap guy for your '90 Cadillac. That is a rarely seen car that should've and could've been restored.

[@tony--james]

this was cool and all, but I found it odd they still had their windshields,, where I am, all glass/lights must be removed for derby cars,

[@davidsmith-ry6ps]

Cadillacs I understand. The vintage Chrysller should have never been there ..

[@jerryfarmer5989]

Yeah taking that '60 Fury out there is absolutely disgusting. I could have used parts of the thing like the hood. As flat out rare as they are and nothing made to replace body parts is utterly appalling. Who ever decided to use it must not be any type of car lover. Flat out sickening!!

[@mattpenney5999]

Why was that nice looking VW entered? Looked way to new to be doing this.

[@SammyKablam]

And you let a driver damn near puncture himself on an axelrod. It's a shame there are no officials at this event.

[@jdel2315]

Minivan usually has an advantage... not really fair 😊

[@HR-wd6cw]

Not really. It has more crunch room, but those GM vehicles (Cadillacs) are build more stury it seems. I mean the blue car too quite a beating this second round (and won the first round and one reason it lost this round. Had the van been in the first round it would not have survived to the second round).

[@jdel2315]

@HR-wd6cw Caddys are kinda soft in the front end unless welded / plated/ threaded rod ... Minivans also have a slight Bumper height advantage...
