This afternoon my wife was driving our 65 and I was following in my 62 going up I-75. We were going to pick up veterans for a Warrior Weekend celebration.
She was going about 60 MPH and I was following at a safe distance, when all of a sudden I see a puff of smoke out the drivers side pipe, then I see another and then all hell broke loose. A rod went through the left side oil pan and then the breather on the left valve cover blew off and there was oil everywhere. Lots all over the 62 and under the 65.
At that point the car veered off the road, spun around , went into the ditch backwards and up a hill.
My wife was fine and and did a great job handling the car and there was no apparent damage to the cars body. But the engine is toast.
For me it was like watching a NASCAR race where and engine blows and all hell breaks loose.
I forgot my cell phone so the pictures I have were when the car was on the rollback.
She wants me to put a 383 stroker in the car, which she loves to drive.
