My buddy just sold his '68 fast back 428 4-speed for $40k.  They're out there.

The Corvette was on a drive on lift and the right side collapsed for whatever reason.  You can see the part of the lift that you drive onto under the Corvette.

 

Looking further, you can see the left side rear post at a jaunty angle, and the foot of the right side rear post (or the top half of it, it's hard to tell) is actually sitting on the grass.  Not sure how that happens but clearly that post unsecured itself, either by cause or by effect.

The silver car in the background ran into the corner of the garage doing all the damage.

Effect, then surprise

 

That's going to be an interesting insurance claim, in the Hoban Washburne sense.

 

In slightly related news, Serenity is on YouTube Movies' free lineup right now.

Super Snoopy, the air-racing DC-7 built specifically for the 1970 California 1000 Unlimited Air Race. In raw speed, it was no match for the highly-tuned Mustangs, Sea Furies and Bear Cats that normally raced, but what it lacked in flat-out, it made up for in stamina, able to fly the entire race non-stop, with no visits to the pits, and finished a respectable sixth out of twenty.

You're quick, my very question!  If he did land it, he hit the numbers at a very high speed.

And now, custom intake plugs.
