[AT] Ford V-10/Now Dodge

[charliehill]

Skip, one guy I knew that had one came around a curve at a high rate of 
speed to find a tractor trailer jack knifed in the road.  He laid down over 
the seats and went under it.  It took the top clean off but barely 
scractched the rest of the car.  He had the A pillows welded back on and had 
it all put back together.  The convertable top worked fine afterwards but 
you could see where it was put back together.
