BILLY WALTON totaled his 66 coupe this morning

Or, at least, a semi totaled it for him. He is in the hospital getting patched up. His head took out the driver side door glass and sustained an 8” long gash.

The car is wasted.  Wish I could post pics here. There is one on my Facebook page.

Prayers for quick healing, BILLY.


Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

Re: BILLY WALTON totaled his 66 coupe this morning

Damn, that sucks. Thankfully the impact wasn't in the door.

Document your injuries with pics and make notes how you feel every day for your injury claim. When you're able, start finding comparable value Mustangs so you have values if they try to lowball you. Vitamin E on lacerations helped me quite a bit to keep from scarring. Get well brother.

Re: BILLY WALTON totaled his 66 coupe this morning

so sorry to hear about this, I under stand the soreness part, but considering the size of what tagged you and you are talking, that in itself  is praise worthy.

Re: BILLY WALTON totaled his 66 coupe this morning

Sorry to gear about the accident. Nice thing is you sill have the vin tag. So in other words let the restoration start. Hopefully you have a speedy recovery!
