My 70 GTX

Here are some photos taken in 1982 from a previous owner of my 70 GTX. The last photo is when I picked it up in 2001. Looked exactly the same as in 1982 except the wheels.

Actually not a bad guess, but it is a Tucker, #18 of the 51 built.....

So what is the story on the photo?

It's believed that the car was from PA & in the Buffalo area for display purposes. The accident happened outside of East Aurora NY on route 16 about a mile from our family farm. They went out & passed another car & lost control into this tree. The wrecker actually pulled the car in half getting it off the tree, the men were not hurt in the accident though...
When I contacted the Tucker Club in the late 90's, they determined that it was #18 as it has the vented hubcaps only used on the first 25 cars. Of the 3 that no longer exist, #18 was the only early build of the 3.
My Dad was playing baseball at the one room schoolhouse across the street from the accident site, and happened to have a camera with him & got the shot.
