97 LSC Wrecked

Hey guys, I am in louisville kentucky so if anyone is close and needs some parts, let me know. I loved this car and I am wanting to help fellow Mark VIII fans out. I am going to try and post pics, its pretty rough. The rest of the body not shown in the pics is ok.Plus The head light are still intact.

I would sell it whole if someone wanted it. Fortunately no one was hurt, the air bags are a wonderful thing and the Mark can take one heck of a hit. So that is the only thing that makes the whole ordeal manageable...
 
I did it already. I'm glad to hear you are OK - that looks like it was a nasty accident.
 
WOW DUDE! You're right it can take a hit.....how fast was that impact and what happend if you want to share? Geez!

I was going to ask about the "Intech" cover...but I see half of it on the cowl.
 
I am guessing 45-50mph towards metal lamp post. Post 1 mark 0 as stated earlier.
What a shame this was a rare color for a gen II, only offered in 1997.
 
The accident was about 45 mph. I was driving and it had just started raining, a person was coming towards me in the other lane and they lost control and entered my lane. I swerved to avoid them and then tried to get back on track. The traction control along with the steering just kept me going straight and bam...Game over. But, it was a a wooden post about the size of three normal ones. I feel very fortunate, cause most people dont walk away from an impact like that. Did I mention that it has really good Perreli (spelling sorry) tires.... I did have someone offer me $500 for it, but I already know he is wanting to sell parts off of it on t ebay. I would rather see someone who had a Mark 8 and needed the parts get it.I have more pics if anyone is interested. Just ask.. Thanks.
 
Hey Mike....talk to Jamie, he's a M8 dismantler...you'd be helping a TON of M8 owners if you sell it to him!

It appears the driver side fender made it through. What about the doors? You mentioned possibly selling the whole car. I am interested in alot of parts or the entire car. I am in knoxville Tennessee. Let me know. Thanks, Julianthegr8
 
By the way. I had an unfortunate accident similar to yours over two years ago and my baby is just now beginning to see the possability of ressurection. I need the parts rather than paying for body work.
 
Julian....you might be better PM/Emailing him...I don't think he's posted in awhile. Welcome to the site BTW :D
 
Just logged on! :D Everyone is at a HUGE Mark8 meet this weekend so it'll be quiet this weekend, haha.

Also....Jamie is a friend of mine....call him too if this guy can't help you out.
