Well, the driver's apparently OK, and it DID have a Chebby motor in it...

I saw that a few weeks ago. I wonder if it was parked or broke down when hit? Anyone in that would have a hard time surviving.

It was those stupid rims - they slowed him down, and he was rear-ended .

Yes.....but that seems to be the only part of the car that is unharmed.

That happened to me back in 1981 I had a 69 cutlass at the time.
I have had five back and neck surgeries sense then.

Ouch, that brings back memories. That is exactly what my 66 L69 looked like after being rear ended at a stop sign. I had let my friend drive my car and he froze when he looked in the rear view mirror and saw headlights coming at us at 40 mph. Drunk Driver. Knocked us 110 feet thru a busy intersection. Him, not a scratch, me, back and neck problems for 43 years since that happened...............
The good news was that the body shop straightened the frame, put a new roof and rear clip on the car and it was actually better than it had been prior to the wreck. (Which was awsome!. That bad boy was fast!).

No, it was the Chebby motor that slowed him down.
