Brakes Fail, Split-Window Corvette Lands on Wall

I caught this little post it’s a bit entertaining. Could be a new form of sculpture.
Carl Sprague was backing out his Riverside Red 1963 Corvette Coupe out of the garage when suddenly he was taken for a ride he will never forget. The brakes failed, sending the split-window coupe down the sloping driveway and onto a front yard retaining wall.
Luckily a friend with McGuyver-like skills suggested jacking up the back of the suspended Corvette and setting the chassis on planks, using a 4-wheel drive with a winch to slide the Corvette off the wall.
According to the Fullerton, California resident, the plan worked and the only damage appears to be a minor scratch on the left panel.
