With all the internal damage, it could be a total loss. Older than a 2008, right? Not much external damage for a 40 mph crash though. The energy absorption did it's job.

Even if it's a total, there are lots of things that aren't damaged at all and can easily be salvaged.

You won't know until you can get the frame looked at. If it is damaged at all I would say it's totaled.

BTW, Holy mother of cars parked near your place. Is there a local event going on or something?

07, Air bags deployed, totaled is my bet.

If the frame isn't damaged, a bumper and all the internals, hood, inner fenders, new dash, airbags, seat belts, will cost you at least 5-6k in parts alone. Add another 4-5k in paint/labor and you'll be in it for at least 10k before any other damage is uncovered.

I suspect frame damage looking at how squeezed is the throttle intake boot, maybe the rad support got pushed back by itself, maybe the whole frame got pushed up a bit. I would go for totaled.

I would think that the frame is bent upwards a little and back on the passenger side. All front end is damaged, both fenders, hood, probably both doors have damage. If it got both inner fenders, it probably got the radiator support up front. Air bags are expensive too. Dash replacement, just a lot adding up to a older model Corvette. I would think it would be too expensive for the insurance company to put the money into, when they could total it out.

I rebuild wrecked Vettes, and I can assure you that one is totalled. Bumper cover, both fenders, at least the right inner-fender, hood, rebar, bumper support foam, right headlight, right fog light, seatbelt pretensioners and bags at a minimum. Have you unclasped the removable top panel yet to see if it is bound up? See what the insurance company is willing to pay-off on it, and then see what the salvage buy back is. You will have probably $6-8k in rebuilding it but the actual bodyshop estimate will be twice that. I am guessing $15-18k is what they are going to tell you in damages. Depends on what you owe on it whether it is worth it or not. If you want additional details, you can always PM me...

Working on Corvettes gets expensive real quick. A guy backed his truck into mine, and even though the only body parts damaged were the ZR1 spoiler and a headlight assembly, that's 3 grand in parts alone. Total bill with paint and labor was nearly 5K. You're looking a lot of body work and parts, and potential frame damage. For a 10 year old Vette, they're likely going to total it out. It'd also be tough to get everything right again. My take is that unless it's a vehicle that is irreplaceable, you're better off moving on.
