Some car accidents are clearly out of the ordinary. This is particularly the case of a accident which recently took place in an American dealership. A Hyundai Tucson hit an extremely rare Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R from 2000. It was almost new.
A rare Ford Mustang damaged in a dealership
The Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R of the year 2000 is a true rarity in the world of collector cars. This special edition has been limited to only 300 copies in the world. It thus represents one of the most exclusive Mustangs ever built. With a V8 engine of 5.4 liters developing 385 horsepowerracing suspension and Brembo brakesshe truly embodies raw performance.
This specific model, stored at a dealership in North Carolina, was kept in near-new condition. It only displayed 24 kilometers on the clock since it left the factory. Before the accident, its value easily exceeded the six digits. This was largely thanks to its exceptional history and impeccable state of conservation.
On December 14, 2024, the driver of a Hyundai Tucson made a smashing entrance in the dealership Tri-City Ford from the city of Eden. He has lost control of his SUV and crossed the front of the building before stopping suddenly against the legendary Mustang.
The destruction of an automobile treasure
Photos of the accident shared online show debris scattered throughout the compound. We can also see the sad damage inflicted on the Ford Mustang. The passenger side of the muscle car was particularly hard hit. The door was kicked in, the windshield was shattered and the side windows were broken. We find yet another plastic cover on the passenger seat, testifying to its impeccable original condition before the accident.
For years, the dealership had taken care of this Mustang SVT Cobra R. 2017a video was shared showing the car starting for the first time in two years. The engine came back to life little by little after a brief hesitation. Thus, this striking scene underlined the desire to maintain it in a impeccable condition.
From now on, it remains to be seen what the dealership, or its owner, will decide for the future of this Mustang. Restoring such a vehicle to its original condition may cost fortune. However, this unfortunate accident could also prompt the vehicle owner to change approach. Perhaps this legendary car will finally find its place on the route to shine on the asphalt.
