Sad sight.. :-(

The guy who hit it must have been blind not to see a car that size

Looks like a parts car now.......or is this an easy fix?

 

[polara71]

Damn shame...that car has some options on it to

 

[detmatt]

Damn shame. It looks like it literally ripped the qp above the wheel opening and it's wrinkled right up the C pillar.

 

[commando1]

That was nothing.
You should have seen the other vehicle.

I bet Chris could fix this one.

I bet Chris could fix this one.

Of course, he'd be upside down by the time it got to his shop . At some point value trumps passion

I'm no bodyman, but I'll bet a little time on a good frame machine with someone that knew what they are doing and that car could be repaired.

Looks like a kid had it (graduation tassel on mirror). Bet they slid the back around into something. It might not be that badly damaged... If it's solid, it might be worth fixing. If nothing else, it would be a fantastic parts car.

The front clip alone could help somebody if it gets parted out.

I think the car had, has rusty quarter panels. As you look up by the back window the paint is almost pealing off in a complete section...... I think it was recently painted, purchased... Then wrecked....

I hate to say it, but... I'd strip all the good parts from this one and sell the shell for the derby guys.

By the looks of the rear bumper the frame is bent right in front of the leaf spring hanger if your loved the car maybe you could save it but it would take some time on the frame machine it doesn't take much to bend this style with factor leaf spring pack

I searched for a shop that would pull a small kink out of the stub frame on my vert. You'd of thought I was asking to fab out a whole new frame. No one would touch it. Beyond pulling Japanese and Korean tin cans back into shape, they thought it would be too much for their tools. I'm sure there are a few "old school" guys out there, but they are far and few between. Way more than a come-along and a tree could handle. Beautiful car and nice parts though.

James.... There is a shop in Pine Hill that will straighten your frame. He quoted me A $400. Dollar bill to straighten my frame....... I sold the car before it got that far

Collision shops just ain't what they used to be. They don't have the equiptment nor the talent to use the equiptment anymore. All the want is the insurance jobs.
And since all they want is the insurance jobs, they don't bother with having all the big equiptmebt because with today's unitized, hydroformed, epoxied, blah, blah, blah, complex bodies, when that's damaged, it's usually a total.
All they can do today is pop out, fill, sand, and spray...

 

[lindenj]

where is the car located and how much can it be bought for?

My nephew totaled his 2005 F250 truck in a semi head on collision with a BMW. The both frame rails were bent as was the plow frame attachment points bolted to the frame. The hood & one fender was twisted and buckled a bit front bumper & grill toast. The insurance company totaled the truck and sent him a check for average NADA retail less a buy back figure of $500. he bought it back from them for $500.00 He brought it to a local frame shop they pulled it and straightened out the plow frame all for $700.00 the fenders & hood snapped back into shape and all he ended up replacing is the bumper and grill. The truck now drives fine and he is plowing the crap out of it raking in the bucks essentially with a free truck. The only drawback if anything he had to re-title the truck as a salvage / reconstruction title.
