Flint70step · 03-31-2012, 06:14 AM

Holy Molé Man!! I did not want to see that.Still hoping its a photo chopped pic and a practical joke.Way to close to home as it looks like my Burb wrapped around a tree.Very sry for your loss.From the pics it does not look like the impact buckled the roof at all and your driver door gap still looks the same.Maybe you could get away with just replacing the front clip.Its a Damn shame to see that sweet Burb get hurt like that.If its not yours don't touch it!!!I hate thieves in the worst way and this is one of the many reasons why.I feel for ya Bud.You seem to be taking this very well and I commend you for that.I would be freaking out.I do hope some good comes out of this.If there is anything I can do to help,please let me know

72BlckButy · 04-01-2012, 05:30 PM

Sorry to hear about that. Words are tough to relay during a time like this.

Heavy Evy · 04-01-2012, 07:19 PM

Well I found out i couldn't get my burb out if i wanted too. There's a hold on it for the investigation. I'm not worried about body damage as I have a front clip off a 71 one ton in my basement waiting to be used its the frame damage that concerns me. Thanks for all the kind words gents I'm trying to stay positive through it all.

Glad ya got it back....maybe find someone parting a burb and get the frame, swap what you can over??

VA72C10 · 04-06-2012, 10:45 PM

Happy to hear you got it back. Guessing the perp doesn't have any assets to pay for the damage or insurance? Any help from that end?

Heavy Evy · 04-07-2012, 10:33 PM

I don't have the means or money to do a frame swap or I would have the body off tomorrow. I have to wait till court again in may or June for reimbursement. I'm thinking of parting it out to help out a few good men with there rigs.

I got the hood pryed open today and it enveiled alot. The frame is toast and the motor wond up hitting the heater core box. I think the brake booster is the only part that isn't damaged under the hood from the wreck. I added two pics to show the extent of the frame damage. I still get the chills everytime I look at it

VA72C10 · 04-08-2012, 11:01 PM

That won't buff right out....

....what a lick! Man, that was a HARD hit!

NTR72GMC · 04-09-2012, 05:31 PM

WOW! It looks like it hit right on the frame. It sucks that you might have to part it. If you start looking for a frame let me know and I'll keep an eye out for you.

Average Joe · 04-15-2012, 01:49 PM

Sorry to hear 'bout the 'Burb. Hope the punks that did this get whats coming to them.

it doesn't look like they ever even hit the brakes

Heavy Evy · 04-27-2012, 11:22 PM

Well gentlemen the burb is gone. I sold it to a dude locally who is going to use it for parts for his 68 burb. I'm glad it went to a good home and will still be local. I'm pretty sure he's a board member here but if not I'm going to make him sign up and keep everyone up to date. Thanks for all the views comments criticism and suggestions. The search is on for another wagon land yacht but in the mean time I need to get my nova done.

Cheers!, Evan

1971BB427 · 05-09-2012, 09:13 PM

Man that sucks! What a horrible thing to happen to such a nice straight old Burb!

Heavy Evy · 06-08-2012, 12:34 AM

Oh man I miss my burb
