Actually, it may be back on the road! It doesn't really look that bad! My first Mustang looked worse than that.. We had bought it salvaged and then had it fixed.. Maybe the person who buys it.. if they fix it.. will send pics of it all fixed up!

Yeah, but what a racket. You can buy it, fix it up and it's back, good as new. So why do they total it?
