oh crap
I'm so sorry

hold your ground with his insurance
they will offer you a fraction of what its worth... but you are not at fault, they are. Hold your ground to get enough back that you don't go underwater

hey I know of a great yellow car for sale

Crap!

What bad luck. Hope you are OK.

So are you in Indiana now?

Sure am, yesterday was my third day driving that car in Lafayette. I also got bad hail damage the first day my Subaru was here. I'm beginning to think Indiana doesn't like me.

Well what should I be expecting from the Insurance company, realistically what was mine worth? I was thinking in the 7000 range, but i am not exactly objective. And how hard is it to ship the yellow car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I think you could use the "excellence magazine" reports and also sales of highly restored cars to ask for much more than 7,000k

how much do you think you had into it over the full restoration.... I was thinking closer to 11,000

what do all of the people reading along think Ross should ask for as replacement value?

Please do your homework before you meet with the appraiser. Get the Excellence article, Research out some comp's print them and hand them to the appraiser when he arrives. As I have stated in the past I have met very few appraisers that are car guys and have a clue about old car values. It's far easier to state your position up front that try to get the appraiser to change a value after he has found low value cars that are not similar to yours. Most of all be nice and remember, you don't ahve to accept the first offer and you have a right to salvage.

BTW: I'm like 600 miles from Lafayette and I have a Celette.

I feel sick for ya. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Your car was awesome. You have documentation right here of your time and parts expenses. That car was very much an $11K 914. Excellence placed value of a 2.0 in truely excellent shape at close to $15K at least a year ago.

Just think about all you know now for selecting the next one...

Car gays huh? Does anyone know what issue of excellence has the most recent publication? I know N.A.D.A. states about 12500 for one in my condition. I was planning to salvage after I get the insurance money because there are at least 3000 in usable parts on it, not including the freshly rebuilt heads. Rick, would you try and rebuild on this chassis using the celette if you were in my shoes?

Ooops.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) speed typing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I ment no offense to our gay members. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aaron.gif)

If your hell hole is solid, I would build that chassis. You will need a 3/4 front clip and either a repair to the quarter panel or a replacement. If you have issues with structural rust I would shop for a roller. If you need the car as a DD you may want to shop for a driver.

Oh, and if you don't want the salvage I'm sure someone on this site will should the car total. Please let us know what amount is set on salvage by the appraiser before you let the insurance company take it.

Sorry to read about your car. Another good reason for an agreed value collector car policy.

Once settlement is reached, buy your car back from insurance company then use as parts. Probably sell it back to you for $500.00.
sorry about your nice car.

Damn dude that sucks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Yeah get the values & have them ready for the appraiser when you meet. There are plenty of 914 sales that will support a good payoff from the insurance company. Definately buy it back too! Car is way to nice to let go. Looks like there is plenty salvadgable as you mentioned. Even if you went with another tub. You will be money ahead buying that one back. Good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Glad you're ok...looks like two cars hit it. Or did you get hit in front and spin around to take out the back too?

Put all your images from your rebuild together so you have proof of the effort and what's involved in these old cars.

just one car, but I did get spun enough to hit him twice. I have an appointment with the claims adjuster monday or tuesday so I've got all weekend to prepare. Thanks for all the suggestions! if anyone has pointers to cars that sold for good prices in comparable condition I sure would appreciate it. the local craigslist in indiana and albuquerque dont really have much to go on~

Hey man, Hate to hear. However, I seen this car a couple days ago and when I seen your post I tought of this car. This car looks great! I figured you would buy yours back and you could do a swap of the 5 lug and engine and other various things. Depending on what you get back from insurance it may be worth it! I know that Cincinnati isnt the closest but worth a look. Best of luck man and glad that you are okay!
