The guys that are trying to give the impression that they have the cash flow you do
two of my favorite cars happen to be in your avi
Mine too
I still have the notch, but I sold the cobra. I kinda miss it, but running down the road in a high 9 second coupe makes me feel better:burnout:
The FGT uses aluminum body panels that are attached a certain way to the structure, not fun to fix.
Here are three GTs that are at insurance salvage auctions
2005, 10k miles, pay off $165,800 , repair cost $8,500 current bid 60,100
2006, 9 miles , pay off $176,186 , repair cost $118,792 , current bid 70,100
2005, 1371 miles, current bid 60,100 light side damage
same as previous car
incase the image tags dont work click these

black 2006

Those owners are really smart for wrecking such a beautiful and high dollar car.
Might as well group every person who has ever had a car accident into that way of thinking too. Just because it's a high dollar car, doesn't make it any less prone to driver error, or accidents caused by others. I garuntee, not all of these Ford GTs that are being wrecked were done at the fault of the person driving it.
5G7Z-16612-AA Retail $3826.02
Never thought about buying a Ford GT and fixing it up, not a bad idea.
A lot of times these wrecked exotics aren't the owners fault. I work for a large insurance company and get to see what wrecked cars roll through in the claims. I've had a couple FGTs, a Murc with a scuffed wheel and bumper that cost $37k to fix (over $13k for the full carbon fiber bumper and over $5k/wheel), tons of Gallardos, and the only exotic I've had that was the drivers fault was an SLR McLaren who pulled in front of our insured's Civic and got T-boned.
I actually remember one of the FGTs I got was red and had a wrecked clamshell like the one in the first pic. It's possible it was the same car.

I give you a cookie sir.:bored:
How was that first one totalled with only $8500 in damages?
Maybe someone has mentioned it in this thread already, but each of those cars will only be able to be titled as "salvage". IMO spending $60K + another $8K or so to fix them is money that will never be recouperated upon resale. But I'm sure people will buy them anyhow to rebuild and drive or for parts.
Forgot to mention... some insurance companies will not sell comprehensive/collision insurance on a salvage titled vehicle.
Don't get me wrong.. If repaired nicely I still think it's an awesome car.

^^ sorry but wrong.
First you can figure about 80% for value on a salvage.
2nd I've had many many salvaged vehicles and all were easily financed and fully insured.
But why the hell are we looking at a year old thread?

My dad was at the Russo And Steel auction in Arizona and he was going to bid on a white and blue stripe ford gt with 4,300 miles. On thursday there was 7 inches of rain and 65mph winds causing two of the main tents to blow away. One landed on the major highway and the other one decided to destroy million and millions of $$$$$$ of cars.Totalling the ford gt out......((
((Most of the damage was superficial, probably not a bad car structurial wise. As long as the body panel are replaced and not mudded. I'd buy it (repaired) for $60k.
