Car: '04 orange SVT

Hello everyone, here's my two SVTF's. I bought the black one from Polar Chev in Mar '11 and totalled it back in June after I rearended a drunk driver. I bought the orange one on Ebay last month in Albuquerque. Steve convinced me to buy back the black one and maybe part it or sell it. I later saw on the lift how mint the orange one is since it has never seen salt. I decided then I would fix the black one and make it my winter SVTF. I'm in the process of that right now.

Very nice. The orange sticks out a bit from the rest of the bunch.

Very cool, good to see you here and it's great to see you fixing the black one rather than parting it or scrapping it.

That was totaled only because of that front end hit? Did the frame rails get tweaked? It doesn't look that bad....

Orange one is nice!

The ONLY thing that "totals" a car is $$$ . If the estamate is more than the insurance is willing to pay they write it off as a loss.

Yup, percentage of value is what does it.

That's why we sell complete new cabs, boxes and frames on Super Duty pickups, they can sustain massive damage and still be repaired without exceeding their value.

I know, this is my first non black vehicle and a very bright one to start with as the first!

I was surprised it was totaled also. The frame is fine. By looks alone I figured $3k, especially since airbags didn't go off. It ended up being $6700 when all said and done though which is about what they valued it at. They were going to replace both front quarter panels, front bumper, both Mach headlights at $950/ea and of course some weaker parts received the brunt of the impact. When I fix it, I'm going to keep the fenders/bumper/driver's side headlight as they only have minor damage.

Could be, I know I looked at houses that were smaller. Garage is 1150 sq/ft. I sacrificed living space in the floor plan but it was so worth it.
