Kevin,

I've thought of giving it a try. The motor was out of the car, so I wouldn't have to swap it (although I've heard some rumblings from the insurance company that they expect an assembled car). All that I have laying around in the garage is a $14,000 Lingenfelter motor that I'm damn sure not going to give up. I thought about hitting a junk yard and picking up a pull out V8, but I hate to go through all of that only to have the salvage company call me out on it.

Lee,

I forgot that you work in the insurance industry. Could you PM me your # or e-mail it to me at vettevet_AT_charter.net? Or you could just call me at 985-789-5118 at your convenience.

Thanks, you guys on this forum are great!!!

Jep

Oh man...bad luck for sure.

I don't know what recourse you have with insurance law in LA, but I guess one of the options is to not make a claim and part out the stuff you need to keep.

Alot of the ideas expressed here are more than likey called fraud.

[USAFPILOT]

thats why they are ideas...but hell the insurance company is just legalized fraud. It is you vs them in this situation. What they don't know won't bother them.

I am with Big John. Drop the claim. Part out what you can or sell it to Y-ME he will part it. Buy another ZR-1, sell the engine and drop yours in.

Hey Jep, I have the Mercriuser plate for that car, you dissappeared on me.....

[USAFPILOT]

dropping the claim is probably the smartest idea...but will involve the most work. I still think insurance companies are crooks, and forced on us by the govt. They are good for liability, but when it comes to repairing cars or totaling them, they are corrupt.

[LGAFF]

I guess that makes me a crook; pretty evident by my reputation on this forum as dishonest, right?
