Fortunately the legend is fine. The car apparantly did not fair so well. Info on Hemmings web site.

I'm glad that Sterling walked away.
It's kind of funny that we in our civilian vehicles think that a car that has been wrecked is to be shunned. Yet the pros regularly wrecked them, and rebuilt them and they'd be back on the road next week. Vintage racing isn't a Sundy Joy Ride in the mountains. The Murray brothers rebuild Cobras right and left that way.

I hope that when I reach that age I have the means, a fraction of his ability and a great car to rip around Laguna Seca! Car and driver doing what they were made for, she can be put back together!

Pet peeve of mine; "original" when referring to cars with race history. I mean really a race car is only original once, the day it rolls out of the workshop for the first time. After all cars are just a collection of consumable parts. All race cars evolve, break, get damaged and even wrecked over their lifespan. They were built for a purpose and in my opinion it is better served with them being used than sitting statically and deteriorating in a museum or garage. The way I look at it this just adds to the patina of the car.
