I had a '61 Monza coupe from new. I experienced the dreaded "swing axle tuck under and spin out" personally. I wiped out the right side of the car on a tree on the left side of the road. Luckily, I wasn't hurt and the car still drove, so I was able to get home. It did quite a bit of damage, however. I drove that car another couple of years. Except for a non-functioning door on the passenger side (a decided disadvantage in a coupe), it worked fine.
