Sad to see a beautiful car ruined.  Would love to see what the outcome is.

I have a friend with a really nice '67 GTO-he has had it since High School, its been totalled 3 times and each time rebuilt-a run away CHEVETTE, I repete CHEVETTE did about the same thing to the GTO as this Lexas did to the LeMans...I guess it just depends on how sentimental a car is to someone if THEY rebuild it or not.....as they say "anything" is rebuildable.

Sure is a shame. It really is amazing how much safer cars are today (even though they have no identity) That Lexus looks like it could be started up and driven away

That shows you how well cars are built today.  Even thought the LeMans is a big car with big doors I would have hated to see what could have been if there were a passenger sitting in that seat.  Let alone a driver since the passenger door caved all the way over to the steering wheel!  The Lexus barely even has a bent up hood and the grille is still intact!

That is amazing as said above good thing no one was in there. At one of our local shows we had a elderly man drive around the show barricades and hit 3 show cars. It was a real bad deal luckily no one was hurt till the attorneys got a hold of it. Good thing our club had good show insurance. I felt real bad for the owners, one had just finished his car and this was his first show. Marty
