I dont know my classics that well but the smacked car looks like a GTO no? at least the front. someone educate me pls
damn near irreplaceable car, that in the condition it was in before was probably worth close to if not more than 50k to sell... that car was a le mans, which the GTO was a trimline of... like the difference between a standard mustang, and a mustang GT
