Description:
Chatanooga, Tennessee, 1979: Four high school kids were street racing when they went airborne somehow and wrapped it around a phone pole. All occupants were killed on impact. Wrecked exotics identified the car as a 1968 Camaro, but the body seam from the front wheel well back has me thinking it was a 1969. |

And let's not forget that Chatanooga doesn't exist.

#3, Well, the hunk of metal over on the right has visible leaf springs (those aren't used in the front on non-trucks) and the gas tank showing, so that's all you need really

I thought it was one of those weird pieces of car art or something

That sure looks like a '69 Camaro front fender to me.

Found some more information on this crash: It actually happened in 1978, specifically July 7, 1978. There were two teenagers in the Camaro (which was a genuine 1969 Z/28), and they were racing a souped-up 1956 Chevrolet pickup.
The Camaro was just ahead of the truck, and as they passed the end point, the pickup started to move over to get in the right lane, right when the Camaro driver started to ease off the gas. The front right corner of the truck clipped the back left corner of the Z, and the whole car shot 90 degrees to the left, went airborne, and smashed roof first into the pole. Both occupants were said to be fairly intact (driver thrown from the vehicle, passenger huddled on the floorboard), but both were killed on impact. The driver of the pickup was brought up on vehicular homicide charges.
For about 30 years afterward, the car was displayed on a rooftop in downtown Chattanooga. This is apparently what the picture depicts.
