Looks like it was a nice car, expect lots of offers for the head and seats.

How much do you want for the head??? really.

Amazing to see the technology from 20 years ago was able to protect you.

I assume you and anyone else was able to walk away unhurt?

Did this car have its original engine? Does it have a #21 or #22 head?

The car served faithfully and then did it's final job. Just like the engineers planned. [well, maybe with a few less rod issues.....]
What is/was the engine history with this car?

Can we assume all occupants walked away? Everyone else involved fare okay?

I'm pretty sure at least a tie rod is bent.
