    Ever wondered how your Mondial would fare in a wreck, here are some aftermath snaps.
    Makes you wonder what the real number of surviving Mondials are left in the world.

    May you all drive in good health and be good stewards of these magnificent automobiles.

    .

    Looks like the Mondial is a very solid and safe car... none of the passenger compartments are compromised.

    Even with the flipped cabriole, the wind screen is holding up very good.

    Mike,

    Always great posts from you.

    Very interesting photos- no major cabin incursions in any of these, except the t-bone on the black cab.. Fooling myself that these cars are safe in an accident? My 928 was considered an extremely safe car- in 1987- and I think its safer than some new cars now.

    OMG, how will I ever sleep again? And how many if any were fixed, or a lifetime parts car?

    Cheer up Howie, its not all doom and gloom, in the right hands all of this can be buffed out :)

    That's not a T-bone... the car wrapped itself around a big tree.

    Wow, that's great work. I bet he can also fix a broken heart. I think I will take a nap now.

    The only good news in the last photo was that there is now one less set of TRX wheels on the planet!
