Wrecked GT350 with only 247 miles

[cloud9]

This is sad to see. The thing that's probably most concerning is it being a totaled car with that little (apparent) damage. I've been a little concerned about the repair bill if one ventures too far off track in this baby. All the extra goodies (coolers, aero, etc) are great, but they'll also be expensive to replace in the case of a mishap

That is sad but I bet it will see the road again.

Can't see why this would have been declared a total loss!

Panel alignment in the rear looks off.

With the resale value of the drive train and the likely damage to scarce carbon fiber areas, core support etc., the numbers likely we not in favor of a rebuild.

Curious what the state of record on title allows with a salvage title. We could see this car again.

I am sure the OEM parts will be expensive, but there should be plenty of upgrade parts available from BMR, etc...

Truly a sad sight to see any Shelby or Boss for that matter hit the bone yards. I wonder if the initial insurance estimate to repair is available? That would be an interesting read.

Anyone know the general insurance guidelines that is used to declare a damaged vehicle as a total loss unit?

PS: I have to admit I was somewhat relieved to see that it was not the R model.

Nope not buying it. Don't see it, this must have been a low speed impact, just a little roll to one corner if the hood and fenders look untouched. Even with core support and cooler there is no way this would exceed the 65%value threshold that would apply to current year vehicle.

THe hood and fenders looks pretty touched to me. The resale auction is already at 31k, so wouldnt even need to go past 50% for them to prefer just totalling it.

Dibs on the motor and trans.

My preference would be that totaled Boss and Shelby cars get resurrected. I grew up in a body shop. These are cool cars. Instead of parts cars I wish they could all be reborn as track cars. Then driven like our 60s heros would. 8)
