Thread: Can a 911 frown?

  1. #1

    Can a 911 frown?

    This one is beyond a feasible repair, but I took a few photos for posterity and couldn't help but think that the car seemed to be frowning or grimacing?

    I'd say that car is balling its eyes out. It amazes me how these cars haven't gone to the crushers many years ago. But then a VIN number can go a long way in a "restoration" to some unsuspecting buyer.

    Here's another photo before we touched the car. We removed the hood and front bumper today. My guys think the car is easily fixable, as most of the damage was taken by the nose and suspension pan (along with the hood, fenders and bumper) and it is remarkably straight from the cowl back, but we won't be putting humpty dumpty back together. Even though it appears to be a numbers-matching 1970 T coupe, I've done this enough to know that if you want to end up with a good car, you need to start with a good car. This one will die so others might survive. But seeing how this 44 year old car held up in a major front end collision is a testament to the build quality of our cars.
