    Hope the driver was ok

    Was browsing on Copart and saw this. Still in gelcoat and only 2k miles. Not sure what happened but it doesn’t look good. Hope the driver was ok.

    Ugh, that is hard to look at. So sad. Looks like maybe a side-impact on the passenger door and rear quarterpanel? I'd be more worried about the passenger if there was one— that side of the frame looks pretty mangled.

    Impact looks pretty focused, like it hit a pole or tree. Other than maybe the engine and transmission, not seeing much salvage value here.

    Hopefully the occupant or occupants were okay.

    Also, I noticed it is from my home state.

    The car is located in Baton Rouge.

    I suppose if you can get it cheap and you just started building a Cobra it could be a good way to get a drive train.
    Sell the rest of the parts, wheels lights etc.
    I’m sure there‘s a Cobra out there with a busted front end that could use a new nose piece etc.
