Thankfully I'm not asking this question because anything happened to my car. The question came up because my wife's Ford Taurus was hit a while back. The insurance companay totalled it and we had the option to buy it back for the 'estimated auction price', which turned out to only be $60. A no brainer since all I had to do to get it back on the road was pull a small dent out of the rear fender and prime/paint the area.
So it got me wondering how much it would have cost to buy back a 914 that had been deemed 'totalled' by an insurance company. Anyone interested in sharing what it cost you if you've been unfortunate enough to have to go through this? |

Back in the early to mid 80’s in California you did not get salvage titles you got your car-totaled. Pinks slips came backs clear. This was a problem and people needed to look at cars to make sure that a used 911 was not made up of 2 cars. I do not remember when the law changed to salvage only. I bought my 1st. 914 in 1978 – It was a 1974. It was from a salvage yard. Someone put it into a curb and twisted the trailing arm and well I got it will a new trailing arm and the engine and trans. was out of the car. With pink.
