A lot of work there. The roll bar area has to be all rebuilt. Some interior panels are missing also. With a rebuilt title when finished it would probably only be worth about $25. Only will be able to insure it for liability. Interesting though.

Two out of three of my personal vehicles have rebuilt salvage titles on them. I don't have any trouble getting full coverage on them.

You are correct about his estimate to put it back together. I think he's off by quite a bit. There is more damage underneath that is not showing. It also doesn't look like there is any antifreeze in it and I wonder what frame damage is on the left side where it was all scratched up. I think 12-14K is all it's worth with the damage on it. You need to stay below 20K repaired and it would be a good deal.

I guess it must very from state to state on the insurance. It's been about 6 years since I had a rebuilt vehicle and could not get full-coverage in Florida. Wasn't a problem for me though.

You are correct on possible damage underneath. I would suspect ladder bars at the very least. Side frame damage. The coolant might have poured out when it was over. I talked to my good friend and expert fiberglass and plastic body guy he said body panel repairs on that material are not easy. So it can run up the cost plus the complete paint job. Because there is only one place to get parts just the visible stuff is going to be about $2100 plus the body work. I agree closer to $12k and you might make okay. A lot of body work.

I agree with you guys, I do some body work myself and when you see that much damage on the outside there is at least that much damage you don't see. I checked this out on ebay a while back and if you could get the parts you would be lucky to stay under 20k.
