Well I got the 14 stang this weekend. it was hit pretty hard. but luckiily the motor is all complete with no major damage.
We had to use a tree to get it off the trailer. The driver tire is jammed into the wheel well purty good. it was loaded with a fork lift. After trying several things with jacks, blocks, my truck, etc. we finally strapped the car to a tree and drove the trailer out from under it.
So yeah, the car was hit hard. I took a risk on it, and it looks like it’s going to pay off. The motor is in tact. Only damage on it is the alternator is snapped completely off, and it did shear one of the bolt mounts from the motor. but on the bright side, alternator relocation kit is needed for most anyway.
the driver side valve cover is cracked on the corner. so I'll need to get one of those (anybody got one?)
Also, the intake (to the throttle) is crushed, which includes the MAF. So I’ll need to get one of those if I want to get it running before pulling it. (anybody got one?)
