Hey, it's funny. It'll be ok, they were insured.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Now, why couldn't that have happened to mine? M |

Not to be totally insensitive here but is there going to be a parts sale somewhere? I'm sure there's going be a couple of motors, maybe some suspension parts, etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

GAF was nice if you like that sort of thing. So many beautiful cars in one place was overwhelming. Too bad most of them never get driven, but it is neat how they get armorall in the tire grooves. Think there was a seminar on that and truly sorry I missed it.
At least they'll look beautiful in their coffins. Lesson? Use it or lose it. |

Ouch. What a waste. The irony is, the driver still has his gloves on so he don't scratch the paint. Check out the photos.

If it had been a transporter full of 914s, it wouldn't have made the news. Of course the transporter would have been headed to Pick-A-Part instead of the GAF (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
There was a short blurb on the LA ABC last night. |

Looks like Frankensteen just jumped up in value..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)
If ya look closely, there is a 911 there in the mix. That intersection is a mess....there are confusing signs, stops on TWO corners where there should be four.....morons that shouldn't be driving and a train station right in the same area. Just goes to show....driving your P-car is safer than shipping. The wierd part was...it was an open low budget carrier.....ya woulda thunk they woulda used a more classy ENCLOSED shipper. |

These cars will not be salvage titled, they will be sold only after full restorations.... trust me.
These things won't change hands on paper til they shine like diamonds again. What a waste of time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) M |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) M not so sure about that... sounds like they were all on consignment by the owners and if they had agreed value coverage like most collector cars do, I bet the most of the owners walk away.

In CA, if the insurance buys you out of the car, i.e., pays you the agreed value, even if you negotiate to keep the car, it becomes a salvage title car. For example, if your car is stolen and carefully stripped, and you file a claim which exceeds the value of the car (in the opinion of the ins co), they pay you and it becomes salvage, damaged or not. If they pay to fix it, then it MAY remain clear of the salvage title cloud, but they have the option of listing the car as wrecked and rebuilt. Even if the negotiated value on that black car is $75K, IMO the cost of repair is likely to be far higher, leaving the owner holding the bag. The Cap'n
