Tree takes out my 69 Roadrunner this morning

[j69rr]

Got a call from my brother at 3 this morning and was told that part of his tree in his yard fell on my RR. Its a huge limb big as a tree trunk. My RR was at his place cause we were working on it there to put it back on the street. My roll bar is still in the car and it saved it from being crushed. the tree still put dents and creases on my roof,took out the passenger door and stock hood and one louver. It also took out one of my brothers truck windshield. Thankfully nobody was hurt and it didnt hit his house. I know now Im done with this RR, just not sure if Im going to put it on ebay with all the extra parts or put the drive train in another RR. Ill post some pics soon.

That's a shame to hear. I've got a lot of trees around my place and I always worry about one of them coming down on one of my cars.

If you deside to part it out I am looking for original front seats, buckets will do but I prefer a bench

That's terrible! I've got large oak trees as well, and this is a huge concern of mine too.

 

[Basketcase]

man that sucks. But just from your description it doesn't sound fatal. You've got a free offer of a roof. don't be too quick to wash your hands of it. Lots of great support here!
