Re: 1991 1G1YZ23J7M5801146 Total Loss
I agree. I was thinking the same thing - far as being fixable. Been there, done that! (sorta) But(!), no insurance company would touch it for what parts and labor are going to be...is the real "issue".
Not a fire, so the wiring wasn't an issue. My concern would be the electronics; not impossible, but $$$ I expect. My little escapade $$ was just under $10K with some donated parts (bumper/facia, etc) and some "laying of hands" from the maestro himself! Painted, and better n ever, she rose from her ashes like the legendary Phoenix, (hence the avatar and the license plate!!) So... I'd hate to see that Z get parted out...

No time to do much more than customer cars these days. Had to start farming out some labor.

All of our values just went up like $6 bucks.
I hate to hear of a brother loosing his Z. Glad to hear insurance stepped up, though.

Re: 1991 1G1YZ23J7M5801146 Total Loss
Sucks to lose a car that way. Glad he was happy with the reimbursement though. Although it would be nice if someone resurrected the car, the truth is for every car that goes down more parts become available for rest to survive. Not to mention saving it would cost a lot of money and have to be done for the love of it, not for profit.
I actually wanted to bid on it. Would of taken some parts for myself and parted out the rest until it was gone (I need other parts besides the ECM). Unfortunately MD does not allow public bidding. So, either a dealer or salvage yard is going to get the car. Hopefully a Corvette salvage yard takes it and makes the remaining parts for sale. Anybody here have a dealer or salvage yard license in MD?
