bloody hell... this just happened to me when i went home from work... still shaking...
appears like the suspension somehow collapsed forwards? weird... i saw sort of the same thing on the highway a while back, except i think the guys tie rod let lose or something because his tire was at a 90 degree angle to what it should have been.
BIIIIG cloud of smoke.
front wheel, including suspension, driveshaft etc etc snapped off... the only thing that still holded the whole shabang in the wheelwell (sort of) was the steering bar

Nice effort Dooley.
I wish I could get a nice muscle car, but I live in the nanny sate (Victoria). Can't have our P's until 18, and even then we're on massive restrictions until we're 22 (Including a law stating we can't drive any high performance cars, IE high power 6 cylinder cars/turbo or supercharged cars or ANY V8s or higher.) So even if I was driving around in something that weighed the same as a school bus and took a month to get to 100km/h, if it had a V8 I can't touch it till I'm 22.
Add to that the damn price of gas.
Needa move to the states so I can have cool cars and cool Marshalls.
For a hell of a lot less too.

Did the ball joints separate, Dooley??
It would certainly cause something like that!

Holy jeez!
Well, I'm glad nobody got hurt.
Did you have to take the poll in the "ever shat yourself" thread?

My new baby, 69 Falcon, 6cyl.
Saved it from a friend 2 months ago that had it sitting in a yard under trees for 11 yrs. Only needed a coil to get it going and drove it back home.(with the temp on 'H' for about 120km!) The old iron head engines could take a lot of punishment, thats for sure.
This will be the doner car for my 69 v8 GS Fairmont i will be restoring one day as they are fetching ridiculous prices.
Just have to tidy it up and get it registered now. Straight original body is sooo hard to find.
Bog stock poverty pack with original 52000 miles on the clock. 3 on the tree. Only came with 2 front seatbelts from factory. No heater, even got the original AM radio going for some classic tunes! Just recently got some old 12 slotters off a 69 GT Mustang Fastback that i'll be putting on tommorow.
Pity there is only 1 drive in theater left around here to cruise with the mrs.
Plenty of headroom with the bench seat...
And my GS, back when i had some hair left...

426cid wedge block Chrysler power, twin 4 barrels. I have a new interior for it ready to be installed. Hoping to have it back in the water this season.

I owned versions of the Dodge Dart from '67 to '71. I really like(d) these cars.
Cheers, Barrie.

Since I grew up in the muscle car era, I got to drive a Dodge GTS with a 340 Six-Pack and 4 speed with a 3.90 rear axle. A real smoker!
Then there was the uber rare 440 Dart GTS. Very limited production.
