I saw this on a flatbed today. It happened on the 8th, but the owner survived and is out of the hospital. A driver failed to yield and ran him into a tree.

C2? Too bad the other driver didn’t C U.

C2. Supposedly it was a coupe.

Jesus! Looks like it should be a convertible.

I’m glad to hear the driver is ok, but it’s extremely sad that there’s one less mid-year Corvette around.

Yeah, especially since it wasn’t his fault. It stings.

I owned a C2, I would be That Guy and never, ever, ever, drive it when it wasn’t 75 and sunny.

Jesus. Glad the owner survived.

It wasn’t rain that caused this.

It is. They wouldn’t have cut the doors and roof that way to get the pax out

I know, I’m just shocked to see a C2 in the rain

Modern crash structures are a wonderful thing. It’s crazy how banana’d that car is. Still a bummer. Not enough of these left.

It probably started after the fact. The driver was 77.

Plus, it is fiberglass, it’s not like rain hurts it.

That makes more sense. Looks like a soft top back there

Right, but being light, powerful, and RWD in the rain might.

Throttle control.

They weight about 3,300lbs, I think. No exactly the lightest things around.

I learned to drive in a RWD V8 car that had 7.35x14 bias plies. It’s not that bad as long as you use judgment.

I think so. And the coupes have those aircraft style doors.

I hope the at-fault driver gets utterly torched by his own insurance over this.

I just hope he had insurance.
