I received a call from the insurance company today. They are calling it a total lossand
. I'm sad because it was a beautiful car and awesome to drive. I am happy because I didn't want it back after what it went through.

No worries, Phil, it's been a loooong time! Do you have a buy-back option? You put a lot of work in that motor... hopefully that was not damaged. Perhaps it is easier to start with your car than start over again...

I do have a "buy-back" option, just don't know what the price is at this point. Someone said 10% of the value. If that is correct I'll take it, but have to wait and see. The motor and drive train are the only things I'm interested in...... maybe tires and wheels if they are straight.

The frame and suspension are probably fine, as is the interior... new body and paint and you are good to go! (Perhaps?) Keep the roll bar for braggin' rights! Of course you can't top Alan's roll bar from Charlotte, pictured! I guess you will need to really get into it to know for sure. Keep us posted. Best of luck on it!
