Wow, I can't believe a Cobalt did that much damage to a solid old car! But looking at it, it could just be front subframe damage which can be swapped out(hopefully). How are the doors and firewall? And I'm glad nobody was hurt.

Subframe damage? Really? It looks like sheetmetal to me from the picture.

My brother's 73 Z was sitting in a parking lot and a lady hit the gas jumped a curb and Tboned it above the rocker... it put the pass door all the way to the console, back then we just stripped it and took it to the crusher.
That car is easily repairable, just negotiate the return of the vehicle with the settlement.
I'm astounded that min coverages wouldn't be 75-100k.

Re: Ouch, my poor Z28
 

Do you have an agreed value policy on the car? Who is your insurance carrier for the Z?

Yes, now that the dust has settled and everyone is OK, this is what classic car owners need to know. If you could share the process of the claim with us it will be helpful to others who may need to reevaluate their coverage. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Wow Tim, Sorry to hear about the car but at least nobody got hurt. My wife and I were in Austin last weekend- she had to work at the convention center while I checked out your lovely city on Saturday https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif The building in the background looks like the Residence inn where we stayed- and is that Eddie V's restaurant just in front of it?

My son had on his lap belt only and was going about 30 to 35 when he colided with the little Chevy. It appears that the other carrier is ready to accept liability, they took both drivers statements and the young girl admitted to turning in front of the Z28. The roof is buckled a bit and the passenger door isn’t bent, but it has no gap between the rear and the quarter panel. The drag link is bent, but the controll arms look good. All the bumper braces are shot and the radiator is shoved into the engine. The engine is fine and didn’t move.
Good idea about the surverlence cameras. I’ll check. Thanks for all the support, I appreciate it. I would rather be paid for the car and move on, there appears to be lots of interest in the car as is.

Re: Ouch, my poor Z28
 

Lots of interest as it is a very solid numbers matching piece.
Much rather start with that car and pull it than to piece together a rust bucket project with new metal.
