Ouch, my poor Z28

I would have to agree! That 'might' cover sheet metal and some plastic.

Nos front fenders could be up to $1000 ea. That estimate has to be for repro parts. 7-10,000 K to fix it right. Ask about the parts, see if they will pay for nos. If they say not available, you say will they pay if you find them. Play hardball, insurance companies have lost lawsuits for using inferior non-oem quality parts.

I can understand why the police didn't give her a ticket. She was going through a green light legally and the the white Z-28 hit her. I'll tell 'ya what the police think.......they look at that obviously high performance Z-28 and think "Well, he was probably driving too fast in that kind of car anyway". It suck, but that's what they think. I've had similar accidents myself, and I'm tellin' you that the police probably think the Z-28 driver is more at fault than anything. It's a real simple rule police go by "If you hit something head-on, then you did not have control of your vehicle or were driving too fast." It's your fault. Let's replace that Z-28 with a motorcycle and you obviously have a fatality and two families suffer. When you're on a motorcycle, you've gotta assume that everycar you see in front of you is gonna pull out in front of you. That's also wise thinking when it comes to driving ANY car, and now the world is short one less neat RS Z-28.

the binkie in the car left turned the Camaro, it was going straight ... no reason NOT to ticket the moron

most cops are too young to realize the STOCK car is "high performance" all they see is a "classic" old car in STOCK condition

I disagree with your opinion

The twit (maybe she was twittering) deserves a ticket IMHO, the property damage loss is too great NOT to ...

Not good enough. There are all kinds of settings in the display section of the control panel on his computer if poor eyesight really is the problem. There is no reason to make posts that are unreadable by others. It really is simple etiquette.

I would have laughed in the guys face, NO WAY would 5.5k do an appropriate repair on that car. That adjuster has no clue.

FYI,

Original 70-73 Camaro Right Fenders are different than 74-77 and any NOS replacement. Early fenders dont have the oblong indent inside (under the hood line). IF your car had born with fenders, I would want a good used early type, same as fender to be used for repair

Original NOS R/S urethane nose pieces are very rare and hard to find. If yours needs replacing finding new might not be an option. Find good used one, but dont use the repop.

Subframes were stamped with mfg date and plant location. Using a different frame will have different date ???

Even after car is repaired I would go after insurance company for "diminished value" IF car can not be returned to exact same as condition.

Who do you have your insurance with? Have you contacted them yet? As others have said that is at least $15 to $20K in repair costs including $5k in sheet metal and parts.

[Kim_Howie]

Tim do you have your car insured for Stated amount? If you do have your company pay for it. Then your company will go after her company to pay for it.

[ohhawk]

The insurance carrier and type of policy one has could be a key part of how this has progressed thus far.

Very sorry to hear about this incident and hope it all will work out for you. I remember seeing this car a number of year's ago before it made it's way to TX.
