This may sound strange, but that doesn't look too bad. It got hit (or hit something) that hard in the front to destroy all the front body panels, yet the frame only looks bent in front of the suspension, the wheels survived, the doors and windshield don't looked damaged, and the radiator doesn't look like it made it back to the engine. It looks like a good parts car and race car project.

Wouldn't the frame damage be unressurectable? But its interesting that the passenger compartment back looks perfect. Good to know about these cars' construction.

Thanks for the partial VIN. Any chance you might PM a phone number of the outfit that currently has the car?

If you look at how hard it was hit (looks like a tractor ran over it sideways at 60mph), that side impact could have shifted the engine and ripped some drivetrain and possibly crashed the engine.
A friend has been trying to track down some aero mirrors though, so if its being parted...

Yeah, Richard, this way you could custom align the front end for the track.

You could rip off the rear fenders, interior, and the engine...

Not much chance of repairing that beast.
