Hit so hard, it looks like it turned into an AMC Pacer! That 3rd pic is disturbing.

 

You can fix this with a small dent puller and some of that wax with the color in it....add a little pin stripping and its all good.

 

Wow Jim, nice detective work.

 

well I could take the bumpers. on a more serious note, thats a nice dashboard for someone, as well as most of the rest of the interior...

 

Easier than it looks... Just plug the VIN into Google.

That didn't answer the question of how the poor car wound up getting rear-ended by a rather large tree, however.

 

Ah... the good old times!

 

Supercharger might explain some of the hit so hard in the rear. When the driver seat goes back like that is it progressive or whump? Has to absorb some of the impact I would think, but I don't want Jim to get too gruesome and mess up has Santa image.

 

It returned to its origin.

 

The more I look at those pictures the less I can figure out about the wreck. Clearly the *** took a tree up it but how did the front get so mangled so it looks like it tucked its self under a truck?

 

The center indentation of the rear is not from a tree, it is from the engine of the vehicle that slammed into it. The bumper shocks of the 928 stopped the "outer fender portions" of the rear-ending vehicle but could not stop the engine.
