Two photos of a badly damaged 300SL (photos copyright BCVM).
Does anyone know if this car was rebuilt and still exists?

Your photos were great. All the photos in this thread are great. I was merely expressing that I agreed with Otto's sentiments.

Sorry for any confusion.

Sweet!

Your photo looks like a huge Jack in the box has lifted this car...

Yes, it kind of gives that impression, doesn't it?

Maybe net time they'll decrease the spring rate.

Great pics RayTheRat, but they don't fit the theme of this section... it's for vintage crashed cars... not race accident sequences...
Maybe we can add a limitation to the 80s... like Otto Puzzell do in the "Cars and ?" section...

If you would like to add some of your own, pictures should be from before 1980.

Here's part of what you asked for in the first post:
"What about pictures of vintage, rare and special cars heavily (or softly too) crashed?
Both race and road cars..."

I understood the phrase, "pictures of vintage, rare and special" to include include contemporary photos of that type of car. I define race cars as "special" as opposed to the everyday variety of car.

What I didn't read was "vintage pictures of...." If that's what you wanted and it had been stated that way, I never would have posted any of these in this thread.

I can't say I'm sorry for doing something that wasn't clearly stated, but I won't post any more of my racing photos.

Well, that's not what I had hoped to see.

I'll start a category for "Car Pictures from the Cameras of The AutoPuzzles Members".

That new category sounds like a very good idea. Perhaps you can move my posts to that category to prevent any continuing "issues" in this thread.

I think (which gets me into trouble a lot) that it would be a good idea to make a suggestion to those who start threads requesting photos to state whether they want vintage photos only OR if they want contemporary photos of vintage material, or if only, as you stated, from the cameras of members." Maybe a sticky in the Featured Imagery category to set some sort of guidelines. Normally, I'd be the first to argue against additional rules, guidelines, regulations, laws, bylaws...you get the picture. Oops. Bad pun. But maybe something brief would be helpful in this case.

Otto, I offer my apologies to you for what I perceive as having been a bit of a thorn in your side. It's certainly not my intent to do that...but I seem to be able to do it without even trying.

Nobody needs to be sorry for anything. I'll only be sorry if one or more members decline to participate in our site for any reason.

Sorry... maybe I wasn't clear when I open this thread...
But it's not a big problem I think...

Here´s a very expensive crash...

No injuries in these 2:

No need for a roll cage!

A rare bird crashed in Austria in 1955:

I started to gather a few pics, but, even if you suppose that no one but the car was seriously injured, that hurts too much...
Here they are anyway.

Interesting irony - Kelvinator-Nash made washing machines, and Nash/Rambler automobiles. I've never seen them juxtapositioned in that way.
