While we are exploring situations here:
A car has a firewall job done when it was only 1.5 years old as a repair while under insurance. The firewall effort was not concealed, and was just ripped across the floorboards - rockers and all. The original green paint is still visible on this blue car.
What is it? Is it acceptable as a repair? The motive at the time it was done was to repair it, not to defraud anyone.

Aren't cars this badly damaged normally totalled by the insurance company? And, if someone pieces two cars together, a salvage title is issued? I just don't think this sounds like a realistic scenario.

If they had insurance, you would think so, but what if they had influence with the insurance company.
I have a firewalled 70 Nova SS that I am parting out. I don't know why the original owner did what he did, may not have had the insurance to cover it, whatever the case, it does not have a salvaged title.
A little diffent situation though, it was firewalled somwhere after '86 and never put back together.
