Vette(s): 1969 Daytona Yellow Coupe - ZZ4/4 speed, Hurst shifter, Griffin aluminum radiator w/ Dual Spals, March Serpentine Pulley kit, Hookers with STS Racing Baffles, VB&P Suspension bits, 17" AR Hopsters, L-88 Hood
I'm sure more then one Vette was destroyed last week, but a member at CF saw this in Biloxi and took pics. Notice how the front end is history but the chrome bumper remains

Vette(s): 1981 - 59 Beige over Cinnebar leather. Edlebrock top end, 2200 stall w/shift kit, 3:55s, Mufflex maniback exhaust, nice stereo, 16 in AREs w/BFGs
Looking at some of the claims we've gotten in, geez there was some nice iron lost.  My heartbreak was a trio of a Rolls SIlver Cloud that is/was under 9 feet of water, a Shelby kit w/a 427 side oiler and a 69 Boss..  My hunch is the hood is so close because it didnt become detached when the front end let go and they needed it off to see if theres a flamible leaking.  20 gals of petro means a different process - or - they needed to check the cabin for occupants and it was in the way and removed..  Cat duty sucks, I havent got called for this one yet..
