In an unfortunate incident involving a curve in the road, rain and a Maple tree, the 87 cougar pictured here was totaled.  Damon sold the car about one month prior to it's being wrecked for $3000.  After the new owner got out of the hospital he sold it back to Damon for $500.  Luckily he only suffered minor injuries aside from a fractured rib.  All of the major drivetrain components were intact, so this creation may be reborn in a new chassis
