I suspect you're correct Greg.
My guess is that any water that gets in through the "sunroof" would drain out fairly quickly.

The chain steering wheel is a nice touch and the wing installed backwards must add extra downforce?

Wonder how it works with insurance, surely they don't let you keep the totaled cars?

Owner was fortunate they did not get hot enough to ignite the gasoline that was in each car. Surprising actually. In Ohio, the owner would be allowed to buy back the cars from the insurance company at some sort of negotiated price between scrap value and a higher price the insurance company would attach to the collector value of the cars. Then the title would be either a salvage title initially, or a rebuilt title after they are fixed. Either type greatly degrade the value of the cars to a collector. Of course crafty collectors always find a way to "wash" the title and it shows up years later with a clean title again from another state.

I bought a totaled car back from the insurance. They just deducted the salvage value of the car from the amount they were going to pay me for the total.

The damage was all cosmetic so I drove it down to the State Patrol inspection station, they gave it the once-over to make sure it was safe and I was able to get a new title for it.

I debated posting this because I'm on the fence about going to offer on it myself

But I have to write a big ass check for paint. So fair game

Cool car, don't see many 62 GPs.


Edit: You guys work fast! It got taken down lol
