After 33 years of wrecking cars, this was going to be my last derby . The only reason I got this one was because my 10 year old son wanted to help build one. The car was a 1995 Regal with 61,000 miles on it. A drunk bought it from an estate sale and after one year of ownership he hit a snow bank; smashing the radiator support and radiator into the a/c compressor. and then he abandoned the car. It took a lot of time (which I don't have) to get it ready for the fair. Long story short- I win my heat with it- $50.00 and a trophy which gets you into the feature - and then I win the feature AND $1000.00 !! It came down to two Crown Vics and my little Regal, but she came through for me .The money will come in very handy right now as my wife is out of work on medical leave
