EASY fix!
No problem here....................

 

Ugh! Very sorry to see that.

 

I hope you buy it back from the insurance company and get her back on the road! That sucks!!

When I ran onto a small rock slide on a pleasure drive on a local mountain road back in 2010, Geico totaled by GTA, cut me a check for over $9,500 and I bought her back for only a few hundred. Car never even left my garage because I had it towed there and the adjuster later made a house call.

Best of luck!

Yea some chick hit me and pushed me in to the pole. Waiting to hear from insurance it was kinda delayed, seeing how cops instantly arested her.

 

Was she under the influence?

 

Or on a cell phone

 

I don't think that would call for an immediate on the spot arrest. It CA it certainly wouldn't, it's only a ticket.

 

[...and the buzzards start to circle]

87 Grey custom cloth? Want to sell the seats?

 

She had a warrant for something. Not selling anything yet... planning rebuild or finding a shell and doing a swap

 

Having her towed home tomorrow. If frame is not bent what do you guys recommend. Ordering new parts or buying a doner car for front end Or swap my engine in a good shell.

We will getting a check from her insurance just don't know value yet

 

Man, that sucks. If nothing is beat up too bad then I'd just swap in a new fender, hood, and nose. How did the air cleaner end up over the headlight though? was the nut not on it??

 

I was wondering about the air cleaner also..

 

yea me too?

 

Took it off to adjust my choke dropped bolt and was not able to locate it. before it was time to go to work. Figured I work 10 mins away... what could possibly happen in that ten minutes.... u guys just saw what happens

 

Most accidents happen near home - as they say

I would definitly try to fix it. It doesn't look too bad in terms of possible frame damage.

 

From personal experience.....Never,EVER ask that question. The answer is always one you don't want.

 

If your going from a salvage to reconstructed title make sure you read the entire process before doing anything.

In my state, a car has to go through a special inspection. You typically need the buyback letter and all parts receipts. photo's of before and after are usually good.

It depends on where you live though, and it can't be just any inspection place. good luck

 

i feel your pain man, im just now finishing the body work from getting run into last year, its hell repairing accident damage. id definitely repair that thing though, the damage looks mild enough to be worth it. good luck bro

 

Insurance company totaled it out, and tried to massively low ball me. Luckly I am a master of seeing threw bull crap and throwing it back. Which more then doubled there offer.

So I bought it back... my frame looks bent so I am looking for a shell to swap everything over to.

 

Good for you!
Question.....who determines buyback price? And how is it determined?

 

They said it's the cost if salvage. I think it was 600 bux. My heads r worth that lol

 

Ha! wow. Glad you were able to get a decent price. 600 is a joke.

 

WOW, Thanks, never knew that. Good to know. I mean I hope I never need too!

 

Good for you!

Where are you located? I have a clean hardtop body here I would let go for a good price.

 

ouch

 

Live in good old ohio... about 25 mins south of canton. Anyone got any tips on finding a shell

 

LOLing.

 

Sorry about your loss. I hope the swap goes smoothly! Was anyone injured? I just shot up a prayer for you.

 

After you get your new car built, is agreed value collector car insurance an option for you?

Don't know how much you want to spend, what you have in mind, or how far you want to travel...

It's the cost the junkyard would pay you if you were scrapping the car.

 

That car is beautiful. I actually came across it, on line. If it was closer I so jump on it lol. not sure if I could find someone to tow it that far


quick question also. If I buy a car that has fuel injected I have to remove the fuel pump in the tank right?

 

That's why a lot of us are going to Grundy or Haggerty for insurance. Unless you can find a company that will do an "Agreed" value on the car then they just stick it to you based on KBB.

 

No, are you planning on going carb? Just get a mallory 4309 regulator and pull the pressure down. That's how i have mine set up and I'm still running my CC Qjet. I installed an in-tank pump when the 355 I put in my car wasn't drilled for a mechanical pump. The cost for the machine work was the same as buying a pump so I just went with the pump. 7 years now and zero issues.

 

So I bought this for 400

 

Yessss... rebuild it....

 

Could be worse...

At least your damage is mostly bolt-on parts, and a front subframe is far easier to tweak back than the rear of a unibody.

 

I bought the car a few weeks ago... already have interior almost completely swapped. This week a friend's coming over and we are working on next phase.

 

Aaaaaaaaggggghhhh!

 

When you have a nice car you have to pay attention to what the other drivers are doing. Make sure they stop at intersections. If they run off the edge of the road, be prepared for them to overcorrect and come into your lane...

 

OK so my build is coming together faster and smoother then I planned on it.... so I have all kinds of extras between the 2 cars so if you need or want anything let me know

Not using them seats if u still want them

 

Does it have the factory z28 wheel with the horn button?

 

I do have an extra wheel but it is not in best of shape and I don't have an extra horn botton... sorry
