Holy crap II.....

I guess the 40 surgeries and all of those pins and screws will be a lifetime reminder of what he did...
 
if u look at the last pic on the first page, the right front drum brake appears to have a wheel adapter on it?? did mosher use these??? seems strange.
 
On March 2 this year, the Belvedere was at the Mosher shop for some service work when the son of a former employee decided to take the $59,000 stock car for a final ride.
According to Bob Mosher, the young man had had a problem with methamphetamines but everyone believed he had gotten past his addiction: he had a good job, a girl friend and money in the bank.
In what some believe was an attempt at suicide, he got the shop key and alarm code from his dad and got in while the Mosher crew was away for a few days. Having gained entry into the shop, he broke into a lock box where the vehicle keys are stored, unlocked a non-running car that was parked in front of the Belvedere and rolled into the parking lot while his girlfriend tried to stop him.

He then got into the Belvedere, fired it up, floored it and flew out of the parking lot. He blew through traffic signals, eventually getting the car up to an estimated 150 miles per hour as he traveled west into neighboring Arcadia. He then drove the car up over a curb, bounced off a tree, knocked down a telephone pole and crashed through a triple cinderblock wall.
He never backed off the throttle.
Clinically dead at the scene, paramedics were able to resuscitate him. All of his teeth were knocked out and he broke some 25 bones. He has undergone 40 surgeries and will require more before he can physically lead a normal life.
The Belvedere, of course, was destroyed. From the B-pillar forward, it’s hard to tell the scrambled wreckage was ever a car.

Thats as bad as ive seen in a very long time! Its hard to believe hes alive and that beauty destroyed.. You would have to be out of your head to do such a thing and if it was an attempt at suicide, i can think of easier ways to get the job done without taking a chance at harming some one else on the streets and destroying such a great car.
 
that is such a bummer, i've seen that car a number of times.. that was one of the cleanest around.. it will be missed!

Gentlemen,
There are BAD people out there.
This kid IS one of them.
I do not feel sorry for him and his inability to "solve his problems", nor is he a victim.
This kind of stuff happens when we have a society where "everyone is a winner" LOL.
That car was truly a "masterpiece". Now it's gone.
I'll bet the Mosher team was (is) very upset. I'm sure their insurance covers this. It was STOLEN off the property. That is Grand Theft! (he has to face that charge someday)
 
Too bad

Too bad the car can't do a "Christine." I'd hold the door open for her to get to the punk that did this. I can't even begin to imagine what the owner must be going through. So much work, so much pride... no words.
