IIRC, that car was posted a while back with a GoFundMe page to help the owner fix that.

Is sad though.

That one got wrecked on its way to The Vintage. For the second time.

No way a automatic o2 in salvage 

is worth $20k

Ceylon, no less. Very rare color

[Simeon]

Ouch. Sorry for (someone’s) loss. 

[posix]

makes me sad. Worth saving?

It was struck in the back several years ago & fixed.  This accident was in Bristol VA/TN, too far from home for him to retrieve it apparently.

That would be a lot of work to fix

I was just thinking about that color yesterday

[rstclark]

Ceylon  Yes a rare color  Ceylon  now  the country of Madagascar   

What inspired a gold metallic color to be called Ceylon ?  gold/orange chile oil ?

 

C'est la vie  a term that means That"s Life  -  a recognition of "Oh well"  Great play on words Innica !  I think this car is toast

 

But what are the thoughts about why an early 70's gold metallic color was named Ceylon ??

Ceylon is now Sri Lanka, off the east coast of India. Madagascar is an island nation off Africa's east coast.

That is too bad.  Ceylon in person is such a nice color to see on an 02, pictures don’t do it justice.

Yeah, I saw that posted on social media on the way to Vintage.  Such a shame.  And as others have mentioned, it happened to the same people twice.  I feel really bad for them.  Just awful luck.
