Man, just scrolling through this thread, there have been a lot of these cars wadded up! I wonder if it tracks the first generation of cars in their first few years.

I would bet more were wrecked back then. Ours have far superior brakes.

Hmmm, they must have had a challenge with the Boss cars early on as that VIN is pretty low compared to mine. I wonder if they had a stack of them sitting around with some technical issue which held them up. Doesn't seem to make sense that the VIN number is lower but the Boss build number is higher.

John

Didn't they hold up the cars because of the stripe issue?

Hardly any Bosses have been declared a salvage title, if you compare them to the FGT's. From what I understand, something like 40% of the FGT's have salvage titles.
 
On the list already but back for auction 5 months later

Comes with 3 BOSS wheels and a roller to get 'round the yard.

With all this GREAT info provided by PT rocks. It seems like Yellow Blaze is the least wrecked color. I guess YB owners must be a better driver. 8)
Just saying.....The facts support this! ::)
Thank You Chris for all your hard work. I know this is not an easy task.
KUDOS to you!

PTR:
This Boss 302 showed up at Auction in New York State with a Salvage title and Flood Damage was reported. Then some one in Germany made an inquiry about this Boss. It may have been exported to the EU.

1ZVBP8CUXC5271444 Boss Production #3151

EU Auction Link: Note the fuzzy picture?

Hope this helps the cause.

Is it just me, or is anyone else surprised at the number of cars that burned?

Does anyone know what caused the fires in any of the cases?
 
Seen a 2012 Boss Black LS this past Sunday. Last four digits of the serial #2163 I think. Got kicked off the property taking pictures. Hard hit LF. Air bags deployed. Site will not let put up pics for some reason?

It does have track key installed.
What the hell is the matter with these people in wrecking them.

It looks like it rolled or did something roll over it? ;D

Almost certainly an animal strike. Could have been a moose, or an elk, or even just a large deer.

One of my neighbors hit a cow elk at only about 40 MPH with his Chevy Trailblazer. Totaled the Trailblazer, the elk was down for about five minutes, then got up and ran away. We saw it trailing the herd for a few weeks, then it was either well enough to mix in again, or a mountain lion got it.
