The adjuster quoted the damage at $11,000 and as I said, they're willing to put up about $18,000-$19,000. The damage included the clamshell, the front end, the (pulverized) battery, the driver's side front rim and the exhaust that was all bent to hell. The adjuster didn't think the frame was bent, but all the body panels on the front clip would have to be replaced and there might be some damage on the front driver's side suspension.

I'm taking it to a shop (Platinum Collision for all you Chicagoland guys) that did a great job on my wife's C6 when she rear-ended someone when she was talking on the phone. :thumbsdo:

They have a lot of experience with Vettes so I'm pretty optimistic about how it'll turn out. This is the shop that I was going to take her to to get repainted anyway.

As for the exhaust, this gives me a chance to get an updated system, and as for the rims, I was thinking about getting some Grand Sport-style rims too. So hey, this could be a chance for me to personalize my baby a bit.

Hell, I could pull a Hadi and futilely try to track down an Aerobody to put on it! :p

That's great news dj. I'm sure I'm not alone here in saying whenever I hear of or see one of these cars being lost, it hurts.

Get ready for the battle of finding NOS discontinued parts, and sourcing used ones.

And FYI, make sure all the battery acid is cleaned up. Reworking a harness that is rotten sucks.

I suggest a Corsa Power Pulse system
