Default Re: What is the worst story of a wasted Supercar?

#1: Silver Deuce from the St. Louis area was being drive home late one night when the driver put the right front wheel into the ditch. The car pogo-sticked end-over-end, and was considered wrecked. The owner/friends tracked the car down in a junk yard a bit later. The drivetrain was gone, but they got the wheels and the hood tach - they still have the items. Bummer.

#2: Another silver deuce was the demo car for Span Inc salesman James Spencer. He apparently had a stroke while driving (per DMM) and put it into a bridge abuttment. The car was totalled, Spencer lived, and received a gobi beige demo car - that one survived. The silver one sat out behind Yenko's shop for years, then disappeared. It is still titled to this day as owned by Yenko Leasing Co.

Then there's a story of a '69 Yenko Camaro that centerpunched a tree/pole so hard that the firewall buckled.... but that's for someone else to tell!
