R.I.P.
, that's unfortunate! Stupid lady.

Looks like you got that new rear wheel steering. That sucks.
rear 1/4 damage generally totals these cars.

Is she an organ donor?
Keep yours as a parts car, buy another and transfer all of your good stuff to the new one.
Sell the big chevy lump and use the money to buy another bird.
:stupid:
unless you need that size of a vehicle for work or something.
I take it the other driver's insurance covered your damage (at least partially)?
No way to straighten out the chassis and maybe raid a junkyard for the remaining replacement parts?
My 1999 Dodge Intepid was "totaled" by my insurance company becuase of a 5 MPH front-end hit. They ended up giving me around $5500 (I can't remember exactly). I got it fixed LIKE NEW for $1800.
Unless you've already used the insurance money for the Chevy, you should shop around and see what kind of a deal you can get for the T-Bird.
may she rest in peace-what a shame i feel for you bro hope you can find another
Don't take any from the insurance company. Make them get you a replacement. Forget that screw me out of money cause of the kelly blue book value. If I can get more than the blue book value on a 81 datsun 510 2 door sedan you can get more than blue book for your bird. Get out all the pics of the work you have done to it. Also show the adjuster how you are atteched to the car. Also don't take No for an answer. When ever they don't give you what you want hang up and wait untill they call you back. They aren't done with there job until they get you to sign of on the paper work. You have the power not to sign your name. (RIGHT)! Don't let they roll over you they are there to get you back to exzactly where you were before the old bag hit you. Did you have the bird and the chevy before she hit you? YES So you should have it and another bird to replace your loss. If you have to sell anything to get you another bird they should have to make up for it. Don't take any from them and No you don't need a laywer. Just make them give and give and give until you get where you feel you were before anyting ever happened.
he's right, dont sign off untill your happy... thier jobs are to under pay and piss people off b/c they do that to someone in this country ever 3 seconds (i bet)
I will add on the datsun 510 they tried to give $550 and I laughed at them. They told me the car wasn't worth anything. I told them I wasn't going to settle for anything less than a car of the same size or bigger and that same quality interior and engine. I got the adjuster to come out and look at the car. It only had 73,000 miles on it. The adjuster even said I can see why you won't take or $550. This car is in mint shape. They rented me a car for a month and paid for it all even the insurance on the rental. Then when we did settle I got $1800.00 for the datsun. They even let me keep the rental until I found a car to reaplace the datsun. I had the reantal a total of almost 2 months. I did this all by myself. I never paid anything to a lawyer. Any time they didn't want to work with me it was hang up or tell them I'm just gonna go talk to a lawyer. Hey it works.
Sorry to see that happen to your bird. Work the insurance bit as much as you can. It's difficult but if you complain enough, they will work to better satisfy you.
