Title: KR Crash
Post by: Peter L. on February 19, 2021, 03:31:34 PM
  Spoke earlier today with a gentleman in Maryland who used to own my KR ( 4052 ).  I was astonished to hear that he bought the car in 1972 after it was involved in a rollover crash in Virginia. Apparently the owner was exiting the freeway and overshot the off ramp resulting in the car rolling and being totaled. It's a black/black fastback, air 4-speed.  Long shot, but does anyone out there recall hearing about such an event in or around 1971-72 ?
  A few years back a gentleman named Bill Collins generously provided me with photos and a very interesting story when he purchased it in the 80's I believe.
  Again it's a long shot, but I thought I would just throw this out there.
                               Thanks, Pete.

Bill Collins is a forum member.
