I wonder if an insurance claim can be put in on those cars 40 yrs later? "

"Yeah Hi.. 40 yrs ago I loaned my car to someone and it never came back? I was wondering if you could send an adjuster down to tell me if its totaled.. seems the police have found it!"

and this solves another mystery :-)

My buddy had a modified big block '69 camaro almost identical to this one back in the early seventies, right down to the factory racing strip on the snout. I remember cruising in it many times, and the feeling of the G forces when he punched it. I can totally see these guys having a few beers, maybe a toke or two, taking a wrong turn, punching it and - whoooops.

Is this it? Doesn't show how the roads were back 40 years ago.

It says there is a boat ramp there. So there has to be a road somewhere.

okay, maybe the roads didn't really change much. I'm thinking 44S would be the road that they went off from.

Maybe a small dirt road. That leads to the lake. Or maybe a parking lot

we probably never know.

it does seem like the perfect road to do 130mph down at night.. pretty secluded and straight. Given the intensity of incandescent headlamps back then...could def see someone veering off that road. Besides some of the curves.. deer? elk? oxen? bigfoot? looks like many ways to end up in the lake. Surprised 6/6 people didn't make it tho.. usually 1 or 2 get out alive.. I'm a tow operator.. and I see people survive some really iffy stuff out there on the road.. and 9/10 times no air bags go off.

nice :-)
Good point, you would think someone would have survived.
